No snark. From over here on in the mid-Atlantic, I see it being:

1. Mad Traffic (with no real way to avoid it)
2. Mad Expensive
3. Mad Regulated

Weed used to be a good reason, but now we got that good work over here, and it's the level below legal (fully decriminalized in the city).

I do like how close CA is to the majority of the dope nature in the US (the Sierra Nevada, Rockies, Yellowstone, The Mojave desert & Death Valley, all that shit up along the coast, etc.

Also, CA seems like a motorcycling paradise. I ride almost year-round here, but it is rough with having to bundle up and worry about snow and ice in the winter.
