California is, without a doubt, one of the most naturally blessed places in the world.
The idea of the American Dream was invented there, and during the 50s and 60s, it became the embodiment of America’s optimistic spirit. Its image was surfers, suburbs, and Silicon Valley.
San Francisco was one of the most beautiful cities in the world, and Los Angeles was Tinseltown–the place where dreams are made. New York City may have been the place where if you made it there, you could make it anywhere, but California was the place where you could lay in the sun in the morning, take a meeting on a patio, and eat exotic food while planning a new venture, and drive your nice car to your 2500 square foot house with a yard.
Today, not so much. The state is still beautiful if you ignore many of its people and politics.
