I recently moved to California. Before i moved, people asked me “why are you moving there, its so bad?”. Now that I’m here, i understand it less. The state is beautiful. There is so much to do.

I know the cost of living is high, and people think the gun control laws are ridiculous (I actually think they are reasonable, for the most part). There is a guy I work with here that says “the policies are dumb” but can’t give me a solid answer on what is so bad about it.

So, what is it that California does (policy-wise) that people hate so much?

    Yeah good fucking god it bothers me how people just think California is just Palm Springs and LA. It’s has the most micro-climates in America and the Sierras get shit tons of snow.

      It only gets down to like 40-50⁰ where I live. I drove an hour north to my buddy’s house and took the fam to spend some time in the snow.

      Or I could drive 2 hours to the ocean.

      I mean you have to live on a mountain to have a cold winter. Thats not exactly realistic.
