> I really didn’t expect that, which I think was probably due to crude stereotypes Californians like to spread about Texas.

Portland likes to spread crude stereotypes about Californians just the same. When I visited San Diego I was truly surprised at how nice everyone was. Outside of Hawaii, it was the nicest encounter I'd had with large groups of people ever.

Some of the folks I encountered in Sacramento, SF, and San Jose definitely lived up to their alleged reputation though... they were not so nice.

Outside of places that have serious economic/societal issues, generalizing cities as being "nice" or not is absurd. It all depends on the crowd you're around and/or which part of town you are in. Especially annoying is when someone compares the slow-paced, affluent suburb they move to with a high-paced, downtown area they left.
