@RickiTarr Northern California - moved here for “2-3 years” over 2 decades ago and can’t see myself ever leaving - despite all the idiotic stereotypes it’s an incredible place.
Pros:
world class and stunningly diverse natural environment
solidly liberal
great food
awesome climate
Cons:
way too many people
ludicrously expensive
has a higher-than-normal proportion of “horseshoe lefties” - people who are so far left they end up being more aligned with the far right (anti-vaxx, authoritarian, etc.)
