Sounds like you should get out of California for a while.

I'm not saying it's not bad, but modern California living means accepting natural disasters and horrible governance in exchange for the weather (and family/community ties.)

“horrible governance” seems pretty strong. I think you get what you pay for. Road signage and access in Washington state is awful; Florida is astonishingly corrupt; Texas’s energy management policies will kill you during weather extremes.
