Most people I know that grew up in Southern California want to live long-term in California.

Most people I know that grew up in a different state and tried living in Southern California, end up hating it and leaving.

If you’re used to Southern California you’re probably more likely to put up with it’s many problems because it’s home, there’s great food, plenty of things to do, and of course the amazing weather. If you’re an outsider, I can see why living in California seems absurd if you’re not used to the heavy traffic and high prices.
