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?
I mean you have to live on a mountain to have a cold winter. Thats not exactly realistic.
Basically all of California is on, around, or surrounded by mountains so discounting that is just being arbitrary about what counts. Is California like the plains states? No, but it has snow, it has ice, and it has a lot of it and in more places than you think. The deserts even get snow and can be colder than anywhere.
