I currently live in Indiana but my family is mostly in CA. Most of the dirt roads in Death Valley are nicer than most of the major roads in Indiana. Yes weather is a major player...but the roads are terrible. They don't invest in the schools - aggressively. And farmers as a group are antigovernment to the point that it imperils the ability of the state government to function and attract talent. I started applying for post graduate school jobs in the fall. I applied for one in IN and one in CA that have the same salary. Given the choice, I will pick CA.
