No thanks. I have a very well paid friend that works in Silicon Valley that can barely make ends meet because of the cost of housing. Its rather easy to deal with bubba because all he is after is a couple of hundred bucks here and there and modifying your behavior can generally avoid seeing his blue lights in your rear view mirror. I would rather deal with redneck cops every day rather than overpriced housing, overcrowding, earthquakes, hordes of illegal aliens and 4 hour commutes on bumper to bumper expressways.

California is nice to visit but I can't say I would want to live there.
