I just love those comments "I don't want to live in California" from people who have never been there for longer than a week.
Take it from the guy who did live in 3 countries, in 3 different system, visited for prolonged time 3 continents and for different periods over 30 countries.
CALIFORNIA IS THE BEST PLACE FOR ACTIVE LIFE.
Especially SF are where good professional can find top pay, you can water ski at least 10 months a year, takes you 3 hr of driving for snow skiing and you have all water sports you can imagine, with scenery that makes The City 2nd most popular destination in the World (who knows the 1st one?).
Top if with small detail that purchased house in the matter of 20+ years will make you a millionaire.
PS Texan steaks can be bought in CA for 1/2 what they cost in TX. (and yes, I did try Big Texan twice)
