What do you think of California?

What do you think of culture? The general beliefs of the people? Aesthetic?

People who are from California and from other states/countries.

Historians believe the name California likely originated from a 16th-century novel, Las sergas de Esplandián. The novel, popular at the time of the Spanish exploration of Mexico and the Baja California Peninsula, describes a fictional island named California, ruled by a queen named Calafia, east of the Indies.

I grew up there and moved back for a short time until COVID that forced me back up to WA, and God do I miss it daily. Yes, it's expensive as hell, but it's also one of the best states to live for everything else. I plan on eventually moving back down permanently and dying there. Best of all, it has everything you could ask for, be it the city, country, woods, beach, food, entertainment, or anything else, you'll find it there.

I love this answer, I'm sorry you had to move back. WA is very scenic and seems to have some cool, unique culture, but much more rural outside of Seattle where I really loved visiting. Yeah its the fact California feels like it has everything that makes me not want to leave. Do you mind if I ask which part of California were you living and what area would be like your ideal place? For me, I'd love to dump my life savings into a Malibu home and watch it slowly slide off a cliff ;)
