Why do you need a California region? There’s already a west coast datacenter in Oregon. I’m guessing the latency differences would be likely negligible. That said there's plans for a Los Angeles region here: https://cloud.google.com/about/locations/ https://cloud.google.com/about/locations/
(Disclaimer: I am a Google employee, but totally not working on datacenter stuff.)

It's really a logical location for regional data centers, and Google is far from the only company making that same decision. I agree with you, I'm not seeing the big draw of California, especially given the much more expensive electricity plus greater earthquake risk.
