and the crazy folks that live there
Eh. People in California don't talk to each other. We go years without introducing ourselves to neighbors. So it's not that I even mind the quality of the people here... 

...there's just too damn many of them.

That's because everyone in Cali has walls around their houses. Doesn't exactly promote neighborly exchanges.

If there were a way to somehow catapult all of the coastal cities into the Pacific Ocean, then Cali would be awesome.

This is VERY true in French suburbs.  The French were astonished when they visited our house that nobody had even a fence (unless they had a pool).

I guess that's kind of what the ole San Andreas Fault is threatening to do.

9 pounds of bacon cured, and on the smoker.

6 pounds is traditional (just cured with sugar/salt/cure#2 and then hit with CBP)
3 pounds is maple-espresso cured. https://leitesculinaria.com/95593/writings-homemade-maple-espresso-bacon.html

In my experience, a lot of the folks who run down places like NYC and California (SF, LA, SD) have never been there, or never spent any time there.  They develop impressions based on some news report of some small portion of some city.

I can take a camera into the Tenderloin district in SF and show some pretty horrible conditions with ease.

I could also go to South Beach where my step son lives and show something very different.

News cameras seek out the extremes much as NASCAR likes wrecks.  If you see a news item on some race, much of it will be the wrecks and then the finish.  

The CFB HoF is slated to reopen July 1 incidentally.

I am a pretty big fan of NY State, minus NYC and Lawn Guyland. 

I have only been to Cali once. San Diego. Great place to visit. Wouldn't want to live there, unless I won a few dozen lotteries.

NYC is not going to appeal to everyone (duh) but it has its allures and attractive aspects.  When I hear folks running it down as if it doesn't, I figure I'm listening to a person who maybe was there for a day, or less, same with any other Big City.

I have walked quite a bit in SF over several trips and outside the Tenderloin District, the city is pretty decent.  There is a lot of blowing trash.  LA is not my cup of tea for obvious reasons but I have had some excellent experiences there in the past.  I liked Seattle, but we stayed downtown, it seemed to me like an interesting city, rather expensive in terms if living there and the climate can be, um, suspect.

I try and take every city and location for what it is without preconceptions or notions or what I heard on X News.

I often tell folks who ask me about Paris that it is my least favorite city in France, which they take to mean I dislike Paris a lot, which is not really true.

But, human beings often like to run down "other".  It's fascinating.

I am not very fond of city life for the most part, so anything like NYC or LA or Chicago or Atlanta would be about as desirable to me as doing a stint in the clink.
