who lives in cali?

hahaha hell yea. we never know when the seasons are over here

 

Until I am walking to Subway and I see the christmas stuff up in LA Popular then I'm snapped back to reality...well for a minute anyway

 

Not sure where you think it rains all of the time. On and off for 3 months out of the year is NOT all of the time.
Average anual rainfall as observer from 1921 - 2006 according to noaa.gov
Los Angeles - 15.5

Sacramento - 17.93

So I am not sure what math you use but the difference of 2.43 inches per year is not ALL OF THE TIME!!! but that's just my .02 cents.

 

Alright what we have here Ca. is really two different states. Personally So Cal sucks a$$. Smog, and a ton people.

I live in Nor cal and I like here, house are down to about 150k were I live. Sales tax sucks but deal with it. You can commute to the Gay Bay for a construction job, or try to find one in the valley. Further north you the less populated it gets.

Here in Nor Cal we have Tahoe, Yosemite, Mt. Shasta, the Rubicon, and a ton of 4x4 trails. And the weather Is great Except summer is 105+, but I like the winters.
but agian L.A. Sucks.

 

but those 2.43 inches are causing a bunch of suicides i don't know where he's getting the raining all the time from. back home in petaluma we actually had a pretty dry winter last year

amen i love norcal

 

I have a question for the NorCal people. Why do Norcal people dislike LA? I like SF, Sonoma, Sacremento. You've got some really cool spots up there. I like LA too, I was born in SF, moved to Chicago, and now in LA and I dont get it. Alot of LA people think NorCal is really cool

 

yea but our rain all comes within a week. ur rain is all year long pretty much. whether its hard rain or not, it still rains up there all the time. when we get rained it just pisses it all out in couple days, then no more rain for the rest of the year

 

that may do the trick until I can afford a bigger place. any idea what property tax is on a house like that? mine just went up from a cheap 4300 to 5400


I have a dog so if i rent or buy, i would need some sort of yard. I dont like cloudy, sorry I like sunny. I like warm. I dont like swealting hot though. If anyone ever lived in IL, especially chicago you can contest to the 30 degree change in temps over night and during the day. it gets into the 90s in summer with a humidity so thick you can cut it with a knife. winter time can get into the single digits and windchills well below 0. it really limits your activities and getting up at 3am to shovel the driveway so you can go to work at 5 really gets old quick. There are really only 3 months out of the year that you can wear a tshirt outside and be comfortable.

the biggest factor that would make me not want to move out there is family- everyone is here in chicago. not sure that i could just up and move and not see them weekly like i do now....plus the whole job thing. i have a big mortgage that i cant just start skipping payments on. and i am not ready to sell my house here unless i was for sure going to live in cali.

 

it rains here all year long? wow i've been living here my whole life and i never knew that. i don't think you know what you are talking about.

 

exactly. we dont hate on them up there, but they hate on us down here. this thread is a perfect example. mstrd google weather suicides and tell me what u come up with.

 

Correct me if I am wrong but arent prop taxes at 1.x%, at least I think thats what it is

And yes I know the temp swing is brutal, also I gave up on shoveling and just drove over the snow bank

 

Dude... You have no clue what your talking about. have you ever been up here ? There is some of the most beautiful country you'll ever see up here, Oh thats right you live in LA you cant see cuz of the smog

 

holy shit talkin bout sensitive people. yes if you read i got up to san fran at least 2 times a year. i know people up there, my sis goes to school there, and she tells me it always rains and its fuckin cold. i love the scenery up there as i said, read my post!

 

her place has a pretty good size yard for our rat terrier. and i can also find out about the property tax for yah. in the sacramento area our summers are really hot, in the 90s and 100s most days and our winters are really cold but no snow obviously.

 

I don't hate em But I could pick them out of crowd. Same with the people form SF.
And I forgot we don't have any houses falling into the ocean or any Mudslides.

 

this is getting entertaining now

 

Dude thats SF not the the whole Nor Cal

 

i don't care about the weather suicides, i never said you were wrong about that. but what you are saying about norcals weather is a total exaggeration

 

I would have to respectfully disagree that it rains all year long. For example it rained for about 6-8 hours overnight earlier this month. Prior to that it was earlier may since we got the last rain. That is about 5 months with no rain. If you are talking about the coast then I agree that it is gloomy and foggy all of the time, but that is not all of northern California.
