California is an expensive shithole that you can't do shit anymore.

California. They're like the snooty kids in the high school cafeteria who act like they don't have boogers smeared all over the bottom of their lunch table

California, I live here. Their solutions to everything are more taxes and less with rebalancing the current budget. All the politicians here should have their fucking salaries halved, at the very least.

I went to hollywood a long time ago and it was a total shithole. Seems now it spread to the surrounding areas like a cancer, because a few of my opposite minded friends moved out recently. They had more than a few choice words, which surprised me. As for florida, I have some relatives which I visit. Everyone is pretty chill for the most part, and there's a giant mix of cultures going on in some areas. Plenty of things to do, lots of nature, and good restaurants. My only complaint is that florida is huge, so some stuff is a long drive

Florida is better. Seems a lot cheaper to live there. And you are closer to the Caribbean and anywhere across the Atlantic if you want to travel.
The good thing about California is youre close to Vegas and if youre into tech jobs thats the place to be.

I live in Vegas and it's just too expensive for a vacation. I work on the strip and I refuse to go out and eat in the area. I tell everyone that if they're visiting Vegas to visit two nights max. Trust me, you will want to go home after that.

As someone who hates people and loves being connected to nature and wildlife without the desire to shoot it… Florida is and will be my home for the foreseeable future.
Florida is fucking awesome once you learn to ignore floridaman
I was born in Vegas… it’s a bit less of a shithole now that the mob is corporatized… the desert was never made for human permanent living, my condolences.
I think a french haircut would be far more effective.

Florida is miles ahead for me.
I grew up in SoCal but live in FL now.
California has decent weather and mountains but I raise you the trails and beautiful springs here in FL.
Cost of living and also for whatever crazy stigma there is, I couldn't think of a better state to have lived through the pandemic then Florida.

Living in Florida won't make me bankrupt, so that is the one I would choose. California is an over expensive shithole.

I agree. I've been to Vegas close to 10 times. Each time it's for the expensive Friday-Sun hotel period (or Monday morning flight). That's enough. 3 days and nights of goofing around, mma fights and gambling is enough. I dont see how anyone can visit Vegas for longer than that unless they are a compulsive gambler or do tons of daily tours like Grand Canyon or golfing.

It will drop. FL real estate cratered in 2008 and will again

That's fine. My plan is to flip it at some point.

Same... I've traveled all around the state and it mostly just looks the same... In California, you can see pretty much any kind of landform.. Yosemite by itself is far more beautiful than anything in Florida.. they've got Death Valley.. Mount Shasta.. Its not even close.

California is awful. At least the crazies are far and few between in Florida, but California's homeless population coupled with the fact you can straight up steal shit without penalty makes California the worst state.

Uhm… we’re quite well known for our crazies. How many other states have had someone rob a Wendy’s with an alligator?

No kidding.
But to be fair, if you were gov and desperate for as many votes from the bottom rung and had so many looters and drug users all over the place, you'd probably give up too.
The gov probably saw all this shit years ago and tried to tackle it, failed a millions times due to sheer numbers of losers and just said fuck it. Do whatever you want.

All these years later I still chuckle at what a fucking moron that guy is.
Yeah, god forbid that services and infrastructure that benefit millions of people get paid for.

Moving to Florida a little over 10 years ago from one of those taxed to hell and back on anything and everything strongholds, was one of the best decisions I've made in life.

I love how Florida gets categorized as "state of the crazies" simply because people who don't live there only hear about it from the viral stories that obviously highlight the worst of the worst shit that happens there.

Florida gave me swamp ass when i lived there. I do not like high humidity and the feeling of needing a shower after taking a shower.

That's why we have air-conditioning, sans blackouts and 85° bargaining.

Just wait to see what kind of blackouts Cali will have when only EVs are available to buy new next decade at which point it'll be an accelerated rate of adoption after the deadline hits. They got 13 years to figure it out.
Florida has a very broad and open foia law. Foia requests in Florida are almost instant. News agencies in Florida get daily crime reports. California requests are 10 days.
