If you want to live in a community of self centered people, who never speak with their neighbors (the famous California 7 foot tall privacy fence, and gated communities).

The beaches are beautiful, however you had better be rich and live close, as most now take several hours to get to, if at all possible (forget finding a parking place after 8AM).

The cost of housing is CRIMINAL, all of the infrastructure is crumbling, the value of all of your hard earned tax dollars is squandered, with no visible trace of their impact on the quality of life and community.

California has WAY TOO MANY PEOPLE NOW, it was a far better place in the 70's
