1) Ocean access with gorgeous people friendly beaches 2) Abundance of National & State parks 3) Fantastic jobs 4) Weather, Weather, Weather 5) A Indiana 10 is a LA 5 6) Farm Fresh produce like you wouldnt believe 7) Intl. population - so great ethnic food 8) Racism? what Racism......?
Let's see...
Texas and Florida in places offer close to the same variety for a quarter of the price(the quality of which can be debated; it all depends if you're stuck on having mountains around you).
For someone that makes a fair living, it leaves room for serious investing, vacation property, sizeable primary residences and by most measures, a FAR better chance at a quality retirement.
I can see the physical attraction to CA, but not for the price one has to pay. Chalk me up as a person that just doesn't "get it".
