My wife and I are both CA natives. Me from the Bay Area and she's from Orange County. One of the first things that we noticed is that in general people are much more friendly and open here. Neighbors introduced themselves pretty much straight away, public encounters, etc. Clubs and groups (especially Porsche!) are very welcoming. There is an annual block party on our street. A couple of years after moving here , my wife organized a roving happy hour on the first Friday of every month with neighbors hosting. We've hosted several times and we always get a great turn out.
Overall a greater sense of community than we found in CA.
