california
 

is fucking nuts in so many ways

i cant see how people can live here

vacation yes
live no

Yes, lots to do. But just way too many people.

A-fucken-MEN brotha!

Depends on where you live. Santa Monica (by the beach) is very nice. I could never live in Los Angeles or many other areas.

San Diego is the best.

Man, I love it!

I've lived in NY, Miami, Seattle, and California - traveled all over the country and several parts of Europe!

Good, bad or what the fuck ever ...

Traffic, smog or what the fuck ever!

It's SWEET HOME CALIFORNIA!

Wouldn't want it any other way!

:2 cents:

EDIT: San Diego ROCKS! Spent an incredible year there ... however, LA is HOME!!!


.

my buddy has an apt almost right off third street in santa monica

2100/mo for 700 sq ft and its fucking loud as shit people everywhere - i shit my pants when he told me that

ive been rolling around the oc, la, sd area and im staying with airek in hermosa right now - hes catching some Zs

but shit living in cali i bet you spend half of your life trying to find a parking spot
seriously if someone were to make a log of their time during a given day "find parking" would account for 50%

hit Pismo Beach (SLO county) and you'll fall in love with the central coast of cali...

green hills with cows on one side of the road, and clean ass beach on the other side, and not very crowded :) yet...

You never hit cardiff, or rancho santa fe... You'd of loved our kryminall estate there. Only one problem, the ground the estate was on was worth $5m, not to mention the house itself. In san diego you gotta find the right spots for some peace and quiet. And when you do... and you get in with the right group of people, this is fucking paradise man!

If ya two make it down to the Valley I will be more than glad to hook up with ya guys:)

Just tell Airek, he know's how to get ahold of me.

not to mention the weather is the best

im digging the weather for sure

its just fucking way too fast paced and hectic and there is shit everywhere

beverly hills is insane
santa monica is insane
the oc is insane
everywhere ive been has just been insane

are you in town right now? I will show you the real san diego... how about starting it off with a 9 gram super skunk blunt and a drive down the beach in oceanside?

I'd have to agree...I only lived in LA for 5 years but I fucking loved it and I miss it and will someday be back.
I never felt more home ever in my life than when I lived in LA.

uber allies

I just moved here nine months ago and I ain't going nowhere. Cali rules!

dude, fuck la... you cant ditch shit on the freeway there, except your gas!

im in hermosa through tuesday

all this whack shit happened so im just chillaxing - dj airek in his infinite kindness has me up at his spot for a while

i cant fuckign wait to move down (from seattle) when I grad from college.

thinking of moving down to Anaheim or San Diego

i was born in la mirada and my dad hated this place and moved back to colorado

i dont blame him

shhhh :thumbsup

as much fam as I have in colorado, I can only think only for vacation never for life... this weather, these women, and this life, bro aint nothing like it! Once you get past the smell you got it licked!

there is just so much action its incredible

i like a little breathers in between you know

plus the cost of everything is just outrageous

the way i see it, you either paying for the weather or to live where you work. One way or the other you get what you pay for out here... and like i said, SD is laid back... getting away from it all is just around the corner, you just gotta know where to look. Start at your local karl strauss brewery and make your way from there. if in doubt ask the local brew master!

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.

your cons seem to be true of most if not all of california but your pros are only in select areas. california is turning into a shithole.

okay, have to ask . . . . where are you from?

La Mirada is hardly Hermosa, Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, or any other place you have probably visited. I would probably move too, if I had to live there.

hahahahahaha . . . give me a break. Man, I don't even know where to start with you.

Let me group these up to make it quicker.

Dude, you lived in the fucking valley. What do you think it is going to be like? Don't move by the beach if you don't like sand and surf. Don't judge CA by the SFV, or the SFV and the entire LA County.

BTW, I don't know when you left SFV, but the air quality is a helluva lot better now than it used to be. As far as allergies go, everyone I know has them clear up when they live out here. Must be a special case with you.

Did you ever stop to think that just maybe it was the crowd you were hanging out with? Don't blame CA.

Parts of FL are slumlike.

I don't ever deal with crowds unless I leave town. I think registration at Phoenix Forum was a crowd. I would never encounter a line like that in my daily adventures.

I can take you to lots of places where you won't see another person. You do have some concept as to how large CA is . . . right?

there are plenty of phonies everywhere. i love living here, and i've met many sincere, talented, and really nice people - some of whom have been my friends for many years :)

well my dad was working for hughes aircraft company and shouldnt have been living in the barrio

cali makes you poor

cali rocks

i couldn't live in any major city, i hate people too much to be surrounded by that degree.

Last time I was in California I was 12 :(

I plan on moving there one day. The biggest thing I remember from being there was that there was always something to do. Being bored was impossible (keep in mind I was 12 at the time and doing stuff meant Disney Land, knotts berry farm, and universal studios :winkwink: )

It's mostly the weather though. Vancouver has great summers, but damnit, it's depressing for the other 8 months of the year when it's overcast and raining. Oh and it helps I know a few people there who say its a great place to be :thumbsup

Southern Califas will always be home, no matter where I live.

Cali Rocks! HERMOSA BEACH BABY!. since yt found the HB, he is happy. :)

HB is chillaxing to the max!

I love California. I will never leave. The cost of living is crazy here though.

I keep my favorite spots in California to myself :) I go there, and it's perfect everytime... California will always be home...

yea hb is chill

Com I live in LaCosta and am in Cardiff everyday
we should meet up sometime at Yogi's
