california
I lived in Los Angeles from April 2011 through October 2013.  I loved living in California.  I wish I still lived in California.

There's just one thing preventing me from living in California.  It makes no rational sense.  Forty million people living in California are crazy. 
SAN FRANCISCO
The preeminent U.S. city - as of 2017 it's accurate to say it's left NYC in the dust.
THE EAST BAY
Oakland, Berkeley - is there life on the other side of the bay?
THE SILICON VALLEY
Steve Jobs and crew.
THE CENTRAL VALLEY
Because I know someone in Fresno.
LOS ANGELES
It boils down to one word and one word only: weather.
THE OC
​I barely acknowledge its existence.
THE INLAND EMPIRE
The 13th Largest Metropolitan Area in the U.S. - and no one has ever heard of it.
THE SALTON SEA
Forget the cable cars.  Forget Hollywood.  It's all about Slab City.
