As someone who lived his first 22 years in the metro Boston area but has lived in various parts of California for something like 16 years, I'd argue that it is impossible to paint "California" with such a wide brush.
I live in San Diego and it is very different here than in LA or the SF Bay Area (with each of those also being very distinct from each other).
- stephencanon 13y agoThe various parts of CA are, as you say, quite different from one another, but they are all extremely passive-aggressive compared to the North East.
- nostrademons 13y agoSF Bay Area is also too broad a brush - SF is very different from San Jose, and a number of other regions (Peninsula, Mountain View/Palo Alto, Berkeley, Woodside/Saratoga/Atherton/Los Gatos/Los Altos Hills) all have distinct cultures as well. I'd argue that MV/PA is actually closer to Boston culturally than to SF.
