I recently moved to California. Before i moved, people asked me “why are you moving there, its so bad?”. Now that I’m here, i understand it less. The state is beautiful. There is so much to do.
I know the cost of living is high, and people think the gun control laws are ridiculous (I actually think they are reasonable, for the most part). There is a guy I work with here that says “the policies are dumb” but can’t give me a solid answer on what is so bad about it.
So, what is it that California does (policy-wise) that people hate so much?
Yeah good fucking god it bothers me how people just think California is just Palm Springs and LA. It’s has the most micro-climates in America and the Sierras get shit tons of snow.
I mean you have to live on a mountain to have a cold winter. Thats not exactly realistic.
Basically all of California is on, around, or surrounded by mountains so discounting that is just being arbitrary about what counts. Is California like the plains states? No, but it has snow, it has ice, and it has a lot of it and in more places than you think. The deserts even get snow and can be colder than anywhere.
Cold winter isnt when it snows sometimes. Its a type of climate. Which doesnt exist in california except at the tops of moutains.
I was in the Mojave desert last winter and it was 15° F not including wind-chill. Cherry picking some irrelevant map doesn’t work. I know where I live, and certainly know it better than you and your terrible Google-Fu. I’m leaving this slap fight now. Enjoy your real winter ☃️ 💪
You did it; you confused weather for climate. Next, you can disprove global farming by watching it snow.
It only gets down to like 40-50⁰ where I live. I drove an hour north to my buddy’s house and took the fam to spend some time in the snow.
Or I could drive 2 hours to the ocean.
