I know that for myself and many others I know, it is California's weather, nature, and ocean that drew us there. Nowhere else in the continental US can you have great year round weather.

Oh wow. Personal preference is thick in that last statement there. I can't stand places with wet and dry seasons. I can't imagine wanting to live somewhere without snow in the winter. "Great year round weather" is a value judgement.

To soothe your feelings, I now live in the northern Midwest where we have real winter. And since it is indeed a value judgement, I still hold to the fact that Califonia has great weather. I like warmth, sun, reasonable levels of humidity. I think the majority of people are with me on this one.

Not sure my feelings were hurt. I was just pointing out a value judgement when I saw it.
