Most people stay where the jobs or family are.

I never lived in California but I have been there five different times in my life. No doubt as a visitor the beauty of parts of California is unmatched. Where else can you see a Sequoya tree? It really has to been seen in person to understand how big they are.

The coast are natural wildlife at it's best. But California has way more Bakersfield or Needles like cities than coast. One of the worst desolate places I ever drove through was Boron, CA. Most every state has parts that are ugly, except maybe Hawaii.

One thing the California residents just take for granted is a fantastic supply of fresh fruits and vegetables and of course seafood. There is a town in Colorado that has a "growing season" that is just one day. Not much is grown there. California grows all year year long. It is a major food production area and will be until they suck all the water from the ground.

It is a great state, but the politics have ruined it for so many. Crazy taxes and laws that make it legal to take a dump on the public sidewalk just make no sense.
