I'm a total outsider. I haven't spent much time in Cali outside of business and visits to Laguna Seca. However, I often get asked the same question about jersey. Why don't I move?
Having grown up and lived here my entire life I'm like a salmon. This is home. My kids and their kids are here (except Flatbutt-ette who escaped to Pennsy just an hour away over the line at the Gap). I have visited most of the lower 48 and travelled to Europe and the Caribbean.
I always get the hankering to get back to my hills and my pond. My part of jersey isn't bad physically so maybe that helps mitigate the crap politics that affect us all here. I live in the hills but in less than two hours I can be on a beach. In less than one hour I can be in a NYC museum or concert hall. The only thing that troubles my sleep is the high property tax, but again I live in the hills alongside a pond. It's home.
