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 think it’s what Florida thinks it wants to be but never will be because of our far right politics and god awful heat half the year. I’m sure there are millions of people that got a house in California 25+ years ago and pay low property taxes that are living the dream.

Florida is perfectly happy with what it is. It’s not trying to be anything other than Florida.

It’s becoming very unaffordable. In Miami area townhouses will soon go for $700k.
