Living almost anywhere in the US has it's own tradeoff. In CA, we have earthquakes, smog, bad traffic, mud slides and wildfires. Hillbillies from the Midwest have to deal with floods and tornadoes that pop up out of nowhere. If you're a Southerner, you've got devastating hurricanes and blistering heat. Residents up North and on the East coast have bone chilling winters. People in Hawaii are living on top of an active volcanic area. Those in the Northwest are sitting on top of North America's largest active supervolcano or have to deal with year round rain and gloom. For me, the beautiful weather here is worth the risk of an occasional quake. I'm not going to live my whole life in fear of the big quake, which may or may not ever hit here in my lifetime. As they say, live life every day like it's your last day on Earth.
