Especially on the coast. 100% agree.

I've had months and months of continuous rain in the Bay, something I never witnessed when living down South. It's cheaper too. Much much much MUCH more diverse. And food's better as is the landscape.

Sure, but So Cal has higher levels of air pollution, and never enduring cold weather is probably not good for your health in the long term.

People used to travel. In the old days. Before Covid.

Never did I say one should move to LA and never ever leave town. One can go skiing (nearby even!) or enjoy any kind of weather elsewhere.

Ya, anytime I'm in the bay area, it seems to frequently be very cold and rainy. It really doesn't get that cold in socal.

... have you been to the Bay Area in the last 8 years? I wish we had even a week of continuous rain.

Only to visit. So, no. I moved away years ago. Couldn't stand the place. Nothing but work work work. And living in between nothing but office parks loses it's allure after a few years.

But I've had my fair share of multi-month El Ninos.
