The grass isn't greener in seattle or ireland than SoCal. It's just that the grass in socal turns brown in the summer, and sometimes for a few years at a time. But right now after a several months of rain, and spring arriving, the hill I look out my window at is 100% green. It can't be any greener, because it is entirely covered in green. SoCal is literally a desert, that turns green when it rains.

I live in SoCal and have lived in or worked in most other parts of the country, including Seattle. You are only seeing SoCal from the ground level: looking straight across the earth, yes, it looks green right now. I did a trail run this afternoon, I definitely agree it's green. But it's still a light green. Some of the palms are still yellow. Get in a plane and look down. You have no idea how brown it still is. You fly that plane to Seattle, there's three layers of green canopy, held up by trunks covered with green moss, rising indistinguishably from the ground which is also dripping with green.
