California is an absolutely beautiful state. Its natural beauty and geography are spectacular.
But it's crazy expensive, Californians are annoying and elitist, and has big social problems in its cities.
Crazy expensive: yes.
Californians are annoying and elitist: well, a disproportionate number of annoying and elitist rich people live here, but I think they give the rest of us an undeserved bad name. That is my personal opinion and not a definitive, objective statement of fact, but I feel like I have a decent read on it as a lifelong Californian.
Has big social problems in cities: name me one state that doesn't.
