So, all California residents of LetsRun, who forced you to move there? And why do you willingly live in one of the worst states?
I’m dumbfounded. Help me learn.
That's a pretty hilariously stupid post.
Good job!

They have decided that CA is the root of all evil in America and everyone who lives there is a pariah, then want to quote people who live here to support their argument. They are disgruntled Americans and probably rightfully so because those in power have left them behind. They see the politicians as overstepping their power. At the same time, they are listening to Rush Limbaugh, et. al. and being convinced that they need put MORE power in the hands of FEWER people and give MORE money to the corporations that have outsourced their jobs, cut pension programs, and suppressed worker wages while spending millions lobbying and supporting Rush Limbaugh, etc.
It is a strange country.
Right. It's certainly a complicated situation. As a lifelong CA resident, I know that this place has its goods and its bads. I largely continue to live here for the same reason that most people in Arkansas or Wyoming or Nigeria continue to live where they do: This is where most of my family lives. This is where my significant other, her family, and all our friends live. Although I'm politically mostly liberal, I don't live here to breathe fire at Donald Trump, or to marry gay people in my house full of illegal immigrants while I celebrate the latest tax increase and whatever other stereotypes you can throw in there.
I like CA. It's a great place. It's also far from perfect. Both things are true. It is also true that the vast, vast majority of truly powerful people of all political persuasions, particularly in media and technology make their homes here or in other deep blue metropolises.
It should not be a Blue state it should be communist Red.

California is a blue state. We are too well-educated to overwhelmingly support the likes of Trump and the corrupt Republican party. Our ability to think critically is part of why we are so prosperous. We are winners.

Those of us who have lived under actual Communism will see no relation between California and a communist nation state.
That map of broken up California is pretty cool. The graphics department at RT is second to none.
It's saddening to note that you might as well be huffing chemicals and eating Tide pods. Again, this "map" is a Russian troll trying to divvy up California, so you might want to lay off the Alex Jones nonsense. We won't let them do this. Our voters by and large have too much common sense and intellectual discernment. Stop watching FAKE news and go out for a tree-lined trail run on a beautiful, crisp, sunny winter day that's perfect for running. Oh wait, you can't! #sorrynotsorry

Ok, hear me out
I know a cubans that were almost Shark Dinner. Now they are all living in the USA.
After 5 years of Obama, one of those 24 Cubans looked at me with a deadly serious look and said “casi como el communismo”.
I didn’t affirm but I pitied his lateness, stupidity and perceived genius discovery.
Of course Obama is communist.
His lady Anita Dunn said her favorite person was Mao Su Dung.

Californians can and will be paying 80% tax the end of it all. That is communist enough for me, they can’t carry guns, they can’t video audio record crooked politicians.
Florida has no State Income Tax

oh, and no quoting a link, either. That's where it really gets ridiculous.
All of the Obama drivel you've posted is false. You're painfully ignorant. As a happy and well-adjusted California person, I am smart enough to discern between the truth and falsehood. We are not bamboozled by propaganda from false sources which might as well be called the Nazi News Network. Our innate ability to think critically is why we don't vote for idiot con men like Trump and it is why we excel in life. This is why we make more money and can afford to live in beautiful California and are accepting of all people from all walks of life as long as they contribute to society in a positive and constructive manner. You would clearly be unable to survive here and therefore sought refuge in a red state wasteland with like minded inbreeds. #youarenotonourlevel

It's literally in the 60s, 70s, and 80s the entire time, has excellent mountains, not to mention the beach options. I'm not sure you can ask for better weather. If you don't want winter...which I sure as hell don't understand why anyone would, you're basically looking at the southern locations.
Phoenix/Tucson type places work, but then you pay in kind with scorching summers, and the scenery leaves something to be desired. Florida has a more moderate climate, but you get lots of 70s/80s with humidity...and let's be honest it's flat as phuck and pretty boring terrain. Texas and other southern states? Same issue. Really hot muggy summers, coupled with boring terrain.
California not only has the best weather in the US, it also has some of the best outdoor activities and scenery in the US. Parts of Washington/Oregon, Idaho, Colorado, etc all come close; but you have to put up with sh*t weather for half the year to benefit from that. Pretty huge downside if you ask me.
It's a combination you can't find elsewhere. Maybe Hawaii but I haven't been or lived there. I live in Colorado and largely love it, but this winter crap seriously sucks.
Is it really that difficult to understand that people with sufficient money to avoid the crap neighborhoods would be willing to put up with a little traffic and some whacky people to live in a place that has an outdoors to die for combined with an ideal climate?
Anyone who would willingly live in a terrible place economically, socially, and politically just so they don't have to wear a jacket is a certified wimp.
I can understand a well-reasoned choice to not live in Minneapolis, Seattle or Buffalo due to poor weather. But to insist that you HAVE to live in California because you can't handle weather that's not 100% mild and perfect is impossibly beta. I pity you.
By the way, Colorado winters are nothing. Especially this year. It's only snowed once, there's abundant sunshine, and the highs are consistently above 40 degrees.
Yeah here in San Diego we’re afraid of jackets. I walk my dogs in 45 degrees morning and night. It’s get chilly here mornings and evenings in the winter months. This isn’t the equator.
Here's the thing, man. Obviously those of us who have chosen to live here like it here. We don't care what you like or dislike or what you can or cannot understand. We are living our lives. Keep living yours. If you think you are winning some imaginary chariot race in the sky, go for it. We don't care.

These Californians don’t know the basics.
Critical thinking is defined, how?
In this thread almost everyone is correct. Anyone who has lived there will know that CA is both the best and the worst. It’s simultaneously amazing and horrible in the extremes.
Spend some time hanging out on an amazingly beautiful SoCal beach—perfect weather, in the “winter”, laid back, awesomeness. Now get on the 405 and deal with that horror on a consistent everyday basis. It sucks the life out of you.
If you can somehow live and work at/near the beach you have it made. But that is almost like finding a unicorn. Good luck with that.
