People often live here _despite_ the government, not because of it.
Great weather. 4 hours away from skiing. 1 hour away from the beach.
These things aren't attributable to the quality of the govt (except I will say that govt does do a decent job of preserving natural ecosystems)
- slg 4y ago>Great weather. 4 hours away from skiing. 1 hour away from the beach. Why not move to Los Angeles, better weather, closer to skiing, and closer to the beach? Seems to me that there is still something the government is doing to keep you in the Bay Area.
- ghaff 4y agoI probably disagree on the weather but I don't really like heat. There are also a lot of local natural areas for hiking and so forth. But, really, they're different. Take money out of the picture and tell me I needed to live in either SoCal or NoCal and I'd definitely pick the latter. (And there's better skiing than both.)

- gretch 4y agoI admit it’s true, it just has no value. You can say it about any govt in the world. Oh I guess some people still live in Iran/Russia so their govt is doing just fine. It’s not true, but it’s not insightful nor actionable. That’s why it’s dumb
