    I live in northern California, REAL northern California, Chico, Oroville, Paradise area. The title of this video should be, "The Best Places for Millionaires to Live in Northern California." And this is if you like smog and congestion for most of these places. I lived in San Jose for 10 years before moving up here and never want to go back. Up here, we have lakes, forests, trails, year-round sports activities, and many of the amenities that were narrated here. And the cost of living is a lot lower. We may not be as fancy as the places mentioned in this video, but we like it that way. Simple and relaxed. But if your style is for these 20 Best Places, more power to you.

      @@kimberlyward350 Who's the hater?
      #1. I said REAL northern California because like other comments have said, some of these places are not in northern California.
      #2. I mentioned millionaires because a lot of these places have such high real estate prices and costs of living. Don't take "millionaires" literally.
      #3. I mentioned smog and congestion because I've been there and done that.
      #4. I never said I hated that way of life or the people who choose to live that way. My last comment was, "But if your style is for these 20 Best Places, more power to you."
      That's fine with me.
      #5. It's CHICO (northern California), not CHINO (southern California).

    Los Altos is now better than San Mateo, Palo Alto and Menlo Park. Similar amenities, but much easier to find a free parking space. Also crime is much higher in Palo Alto. It’s similar to San Jose on per capita basis. Huge amount of crime at the Stanford Shopping Center. I am afraid to go there as well as University Avenue. Finally, the architecture charm is lost with the construction of ugly high density housing. This needs to be updated.

    These homes can only be afforded by the rich. San Luis Obispo is a farm centered city. The rest are only for the rich. All are great places to live except they are in Commifornia. This State wants to control everything about your including how you breath. The supermajority democrap legislature doesn't know anything the tax and spend. Deficit, bah, just tax them some more and we'll continue to spend. Unfortunately they don't spend the money on anything useful. Buy and electric car but don't use any electricity because you will bring down the grid. If you live in California flee if you can. IF you don't live here unless you are a socialist commie, go some place that is America.

With those off the list, the combined cities of Folsom+ Eldorado Hills and Granite Bay+Roseville+Rocklin make up most of the rest of the top ten and confirm what those of us that live here already know. Sacramento metro suburbs are awesome. Shhhh! Please don’t tell anybody. 😊
