I'm a proud Californian. I think it is not only the best state in the union, but one of the best places on Earth.
Is there a desert?
>>222001358California has every kind of environment you can think of from desert to temperate rainforest.
Sorry, but as a highly intelligent free thinker I base my worldview on twitter screenshots and Instagram reels, and they've all told me California is le bad.
>>222001409I don't want to get too into it because mods are very quick to ban anything political on this board. But, yeah...a lot of it is just pure jealousy from less-relevant states with different politics. >Commifornia is expensive and there's homeless everywhere! All of the US is expensive and the homeless and drug problem is everywhere too.
>>222001358Hell yes. The south/eastern part is most all desert. It fucking sucks (I hate desert).
>>222001346>>222001409>>222001436senoooooor
lil hombrecitos
>>222001346It would be god tier if not for the retarded laws and retarded taxes they voted for because they voted themselves out of affordable living>>222001358California has every biome available to explore
>passed a law which literally can't be enforcedjust epic california things
>Best nature>Best food>Most amount of fun events>economic capital of America (and thus the world)>tech capital of the world>leading healthcare innovation >best wine outside of France>Best job opportunity Really the only bad thing is that the pacific ocean sucks cocks compared to the Atlantic for Beaches but you can't have it all
>>222001436>All of the US is expensive and the homeless and drug problem is everywhere too.Nope. I have specifically read about red states giving their junkies a de facto compulsory ticket to Commiefornia upon first arrest.
>>222001490>law which literally can't be enforcedhave you seen the constitution
>>222001517You forgot crime rates that would make huezillians blush, but that's part and parcel of living in a big city amiriite fellas
>saaaaar tech capital saaaar
California is a socialist shithole that destroys other states and ruins them by voting for their corporate cultural marxist policies fuck off
crazy how poor hispanics and blacks are in californialiterally a permanent underclass who tries to larp as superior because of the white, asian people and jewish people who built everything good about the state
>>222001533CA's crime rates aren't high, they're average as far as America goes
>>222001553>if we don't prosecute theft it didn't happen!
>>222001564meme
>>222001346Do the demographics not disturb you?
>>222001570he's hispanic
>>222001346When I went to California I expected them to be coastie shitheads but they were oddly down to earth and chill, based Californians
>>222001568cope
Hey, the state I grew up in. I love hiking and I found it interesting how in the Inland Empire you can find a desert wasteland shithole.
please don't move to California, go somewhere else like Idaho instead, we are full
>>222001436I see they're already spamming the thread with the usual buzzwords they've been conditioned to respond with. They're like ants to honey when they see the word California. Definitely not driven by jealousy or spite, no sir!>All of the US is expensive and the homeless and drug problem is everywhere too.They don't realize this because they live in bumfuck nowhere suburbia, never leave their homes to go anywhere but to work or the grocery store, and consume this anti-California slop on their phones to feel better about their miserable existences. I live in a mid sized east coast city with a population of barely over 200k and I work with a bunch of people like this. They all live 45 minutes to an hour outside of downtown and refer to anywhere within a mile radius of the city center as "The City" in hushed tones.Our office is located in what's essentially a gated community of a dozen other office buildings and there are still people who are scared to walk 200 feet to the parking garage by themselves. One woman apparently saw a guy pushing a shopping cart on her drive in one day and sent out an office wide warning email about the "potential threat".
>>222001568Literal cope. "Petty" shoplifting is capped at a thousand bucks in Commiefornia. That is, unironically, a dekulakisation level measure against small business owners.
...and then hike a few miles, go up a couple thousand feet, and suddenly a fucking forest.
paco's fuming kek
where are they going to send the countless homeless for the olympics?
>>222001533>>222001649>saar let me tell you about your country saarLet me tell you about the time we bombed "your" country to shit, killed over 500 civilians, and never apologized for it. Whoopsie!
>chicanos trying to larp as white americanskek
>>222001696Thousands actually, but most of them were Kosovar Albanians unironically lol. That's mega ironic, you know anon?
it's really funny seeing chicanos try to launder themselves as californians because they're ashamed of everything else in their identityit's like the american version of south brazilians or argies larping as italian / med but reversed
>SAAAAR THEY WERE ZAINICHI ALBANIANS
>>222001682How is it the poorest states have the lease amount of homelessness?
>>222001682They send them to shit holes like Adelanto in San Bernardino which is where ghetto people in LA county (South Centra, Watts, East LA, etc) moved to post recession and Imperial County which is in a perpetual state of recession.
>>222001739no one wants to live in them creating high supply.
>>222001739They shipped them to commiefornia and also the weather is one of the good things over there, they would die during winters and summers
>>222001659>>222001682>>222001708>>222001731Californian is the greatest state in the United States.You’ve been spamming this thread for half an hour. I’m giving you 5 minutes to post proof of not being a seething brownoid, living in eternal jealousy of the superiority of my beautiful state. It should be easy for you, right? We both know you can’t and won’t do it, and you’ll probably ignore this post desperately hoping everyone else who comes to this thread ignores it too. But I’ll enjoy watching you try to squirm your way out of this, so I’m asking anyways.
>>2220018292 minutes left! Tick tock!
>>222001829>>222001861kek imagine eyedoxxing yourself on 4chanCalifornian is a fallen state full of hispanics and indians
Uh oh, times up!
your state is mexicanyou live in conquered territorycucked and defeated
>>222001436The "different politics" in question are equal treatment while you continue to defend your new legally enforced caste system. It's not envy, it's abject disgust.
>>222001567aieeee not like this commie sisters
>>222001346Isn't the air pollution in places like LA really bad? That's not an appealing thing, breathing in toxins all day.
so beautiful
>he's still going
>>222001446North Dakota coming out of literal nowhere with the high IQ lol
>>222001909no, that was a problem ~23 years ago
Reminder that the seat of all power in America lies in NYC and DC.When the east coast tells california to jump it asks how highsame with seattle and everyone else on the west coastit's nouveau riche at best
No one else goes /out/?
>>222001346what happened to the high speed rail anyway watched a video about the project recently and it reeked of damage control
>>222001346California place sucks ass. Stop trying to shill it to unsuspecting thirdies.t. svffers in the inland empire
>>222002049>live in the shittiest area of SoCal>complain about the State as a wholeevolve
>>222001644Isn't this video basically showing LA is polluted as fuck?
>>222002021I saw a bird
>>222002053Where do you think the best areas are?
>>222001346Cali bros…so, was the Valley a sea at one time?
>>222002073this was during the wildfires a couple years ago
who are you voting for gov'n tomorrow? can I copy your homework
>>222002075Nice egret or whatever the hell it isI saw a sign
>>222002021I hiked to a waterfall last week. I didn't even know we had them in SoCal tbqh.
>>222002149There's a few yes. The problem with waterfalls is they attract a lot of people. Not always the best people, like we see here at Eaton Canyon (about a year before it burnt down). I reached the waterfall, saw this circus, and turned back.
Vote Spencer Pratt brehsLA needs another leader with a career in showbusiness, not one who made their living from peddling racial grievancesReagan, Schwarzenegger, soon Pratt
voted for bianco and for raman
>>222002441The only thing I really hate about these popular trails are the people who blare their shitty music to every living thing in a 100 feet radius.>>222002116I went with Steyer as he's the only one campaigning for single payer medicare.
I also want to apologise about the Eucalyptus trees... Looking at the state the Palisades are in still is shocking to me from Down Under. An attitude of carelessness during the 2020 Black Summer Bushfires was what sunk the government here. And the level of corruption I've seen when it comes to disaster preparation is shocking. Surprised that Bass even being re-elected is a debate at all after she took a trip to Ghana in a dry season
>>222002628CA democrats are retarded vote blue no matter who types and will rally around the incumbent
>>222002685I'm sure without voter ID the dems will finagle some wretched schemes. No voter ID in a state with the most illegals in teh country sounds like a catastrophe. Mum grew up in SoCal during the Reagan era and it sounded so nice
>>222001346california has nice nature but the cities suck
>>222001346>Jeet spammer is back Soccer sucks, go back to /sp/
>>222002619The one waterfall where I didn't run into a crowd, much less the bluetooth fags, was Cooper Canyon Falls via the Burkhart Trail off highway 2. A remote part of highway 2 where there's no cell service for those fags to connect to any streaming services. They don't own music much less pirate.
>>222001346Jeet, Serbs, Flyovers and Russians seethe about it which confirms it's based.
>>222002580Pratt is a retard, but so is Bass. Troubling
>>222002033Feds pulled their portion of the funding because Trump is mad at California
>>222002702This is a retarded argument desu. 51% of Mexican men voted Republican in the last election
>>222002791Ah yes, Blumpft's fault that you can't get a simple railway running for decades and have so much corruption and bureaucratic-corporate joint embezzlement that you make Vucic's Serbia look like a functional developmentalist state. Very reassuring anon. Some of you Weimerican motherfuckers actually have TDS, it's not even a Facebook boomer meme.
>>222002856Why would you assume that all Mexican-Americans are illegal? Most of the people without papers today come from Venezuela, Guatemala, and other Central American shitholes. They're going to vote for their self-interest, and the dems love them for it.>>222002780Pratt's smarter than he lets on. He's run quite the successful guerilla campaign, against the fuck-off money that Californian dems swim in>>222002862Sizzled that demoncrat into a fine wok
>>222001739Most middle class wealth is tied to real estate. Poorer states have much more low income housing which lowers overall homelessness.
>>222002085In SoCal?Orange County in General, San Diego, North/West Los Angeles County. If you count Santa Barbara county as SoCal then that too.
>>222002149Is that Eaton Canyon or Tajunga trail canyon?
>>222002088There used to be this massive lake in the south of the Valley. But then farmers kept using the water going into the lake and diverting it with dikes. And so the lake is farmland. But a bunch of storms hit in 2023 and the lake returned, for now.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tulare_Lake
>>222003009No, he means before humans. Yes, the depression you see used to be a sea. Also at that time, most of the state was forested.
>>222001346lived in socal most of my life, but will be moving to the bay soon. will I like it more?
>>222001346I would officially give my life for:>San Diego>Marin County>San Luis Obispo>Oakland>Eureka

>>222003000Sturtevant Falls in Santa Anita Canyon
>>222001358Yes. I live there
>>222003239I moved from Barstow to the Sac area and I have absolutely zero regrets. Never been happier.
Imagine there was a New York in California
>>222003252Marin County does not need more hispanics
in terms of geography it does seem like one of the nicest places around.
Home sweet home
>>222001358Patrolling the Mojave makes you wish for a nuclear winter.
>>222001346this looks pretty cool
>>222005143Its a really good way to die while driving on the I5I saw a ~30 car pileup once. Multiple fatalities.
>>222005143your mom after I'm done with her
>>222005173This could be instantly rectified if you retards would use hazard lights to indicate to drivers behind of the upcoming traffic jam on the highway. But hey, they don’t do zat IN AMERICA.
>>222005194You have no idea how strong tule fog is
>>222005213>ignoring the main point
>>222005260Tule fog visibility can be as bad as 10 feet in the thickest of it. I've heard others say 0 feet but ive never seen it myself. Thats where accidents happen. You won't be able to see the hazard lights. I've had to just pull over and wait it out before. Its like driving in a blizzard except visibility can vary very very quickly.
>>222005321So a reasonable thing would be to go as slow as considered safe in these conditions and turn on the hazard lights to improve visibility for other drivers.But the golem brain cannot process such complexity and goes >ooga booga it says speed limit 65 so I go 75>wuss a hazard light o algo? There ain’t no haz-ACK
>WE GOT EVERY TYPE OF LANDSCAPE>it's all arid>BUT LOOK AT THIS LAKESIDE. SEE, THIS OASIS IS GREEN. SO THERE
>>222003252>Eurekaanon how do you even know about that place
>>222001346California gets me confused cause california seems a lot like florida in some ways but florida just by itself is pretty confusing especially in recent years
>>222005173>I saw a ~30 car pileup once. Multiple fatalities.I respond to car accidents in Southern California as a career. It is my opinion that it should be prohibitively hard to get a licence and that after your first major infraction they suspend your licence, and if they try to drive again, you they just remove your thumb privileges.

California seems expensive (I heard gas in LA is like $7), but probably nice if you can afford it>>222001446>HawaiiWhy? I thought they had wypipo, japanese descendans, and some locals>>222001517Best wine outside of europe is argentina/chile though with malbec

>>222008872>(I heard gas in LA is like $7)I was in San Diego a month ago and it was around $6.50, so probably. The only thing I miss is the hiking. I sure as shit don't miss waging.
