I lived in California for 16 years.
PROS:
The only place to be if you're in the entertainment biz.
Great restaurants and world class shopping.
Lots to see and do.
Beautiful landscapes and scenery.
Nice weather most of the time.
Lots of gorgeous girls.
Lots of industrious entrepreneurs.
CONS:
Its way too crowded.
Way too many foreigners that don't want to culturally integrate into America. When I first moved to the valley is was all white, now whites are the minorities.
The smog is horrible. My allergies stopped right after I moved out of Cali.
The traffic is the worst anywhere in the country. If you like driving fast forget LA. You can't plan to be somewhere at a set time.
Lots of phony people. Friends come and go faster than any place in the US. Lots of users and pretend friends. Lots of con artists. Lots of wannabees. Everyone has a SAG card and wants to be famous.
Prices are outrageous.
Taxes are outrageous, among the highest in the US.
You have to deal with crowds everywhere you go.
Parts of LA are slum like.
Ultra competitive and you're often judged by your possessions.
