I agree, but its not for the mediocre. If you're elite or at the top of your field and especially if it is a creative or technical position then you can do very well there. If you're just a mediocre worker bee then competition will be fierce for a limited amount of positions.

eta: I have a brother that travels for his job so he can live anywhere. He recently moved to inland Cali and although I was skeptical of anyone moving to a desert like area, I am becoming jealous. His home wasn't that expensive, he lives right by all kinds of mountains, has non-stop sun, and theres more to do than I realized. He recently bought dirt bikes for him and his son which looks fun.

Not sure that is true, but certainly more people would.

I couldn't live in a state and city (bay area, for example) that worked against what I believe in 24/7.

But if you could combine the economic power and governance of Texas with the natural beauty of California, everyone would live there.

i hate it when i see this.

cali is not overly expensive at all. its all about location. and jobs are everywhere. look on craigslist you will see plenty of jobs. or you could grow weed and make a 500,000 a year pretty easily.
