    Best place for health and Mental Health indeed!! As a 55 year San Diego Native,, we lost our minds about 3 years ago and moved to Vancouver WA for 2 years then to Phoenix AZ for 5 months.. They both suck!!! We LOVE Southern California.. Absolutely the best weather in the Nation.. The most amazing people,, The lifestyle and soooo much to do year round. We have moved back home.. We LOVE IT!! No place like home!! Not to mention Anaheim, Pasadena, LA.. So close by and sooo much to do!!! Thanks Michael! You rock, brother. See ya in Paradise!!

    I also grew up in New York State! I now live in Los Angeles and I absolutely love it. I’m here with my husband and kids and I just can’t imagine raising our family in a cold climate now. The weather and sunshine here I feel is a huge contributor to quality of life and one’s mental health. I really don’t miss the seasons or the snow! I also find the people to be much happier and relaxed overall than they are in the Northeast. I think the constant sunshine is the reason.

      Would y’all ever live in Texas? Sunny and warm/hot there too? Better yet, what are some distinctive advantages of choosing Cali over Texas? I’m a native Californian (Los Angeles). Been living in Texas on and off for 12 years. Thought I’d never move back to Cali but I can’t shake this intense feeling of wanting to move back despite everyone down-talking Cali. Not to LA, but somewhere else that’s close to the beach. I want to move there in a few years. Texas has everything Cali has except for beautiful beaches, but it’s something that’s missing for me. Trying to figure out what it is. Thanks!

    Excellent review of what I, too, now call home, after moving here from Chicago when the pandemic began in early 2020. The thing that resonated with me most was how your emotional / mental well being and overall quality of life is just so much better here. For me that couldn’t be more true, and more at the very center of why I stay. Those west cost over-the-ocean sunsets also mesmerize me and I simply cannot pull myself away!

I would consider a trip now thanks to you. I have even taken to watching sunsets live on teleport cam at Venus beach. Thanks for another great video. From Debra a former cynical New Yorker🍎💚💯

  • @Nagranddan
    @Nagranddan Рік тому +9

    Part of the reason I've started watching your videos is to get your New York perspective on living in CA - as you said, it's often easy for those of us born here to take it for granted, such as the views and the weather. It's great that you've been hitting up all these spots and watching sunsets over the Pacific Ocean!
    Also heads up, but since you're living in SoCal, it's "PCH" not "the PCH" - we'd only say that if you say it as the whole thing like "the Pacific Coast Highway". If it's appreviated, it's just PCH without "the" - even though we always add "the" in front of stuff like the 405. Don't ask me why lol!

See you on the beach for sunset in a month!😁🧺🍷🍷

    That was a really good observation regarding the spirits and the state of Hollywood. Some parts of Hollywood are sketchy, but some are good. But as a tourist on my first time there, I was like this is Hollywood? Now over 20 visits later I kind of accept it for what it is, and hopefully, it gets better, while commemorating its past!

    What you said about natives? I'm a native. Guilty as charged. However, I think in certain ways SoCal is better today than it was over 20-30 years ago. But, yea, in other ways, it's also worse. Same thing can be said about places like NYC, SF, Portland, Miami, Boston, etc. I've read that plenty of expatriates/transplants to Paris (Europe's city of light) end up moving elsewhere. So people are naturally into wanderlust. Or itinerant.

    He is one optimistic fellow to be optimistic about living here. If you have the financial means to enjoy a high cost of living, avoid public transit, , and isolate yourself to the more affluent areas it is a great place.. But if you can't afford high housing costs, $7 coffees, $25 breakfasts and shopping at Whole Foods (Whole Paycheck) than it's not so great. Yuppieville is great if you can afford it.. Everywhere else. Not so good
