I wish California had a less idiotic government. I'd love the climate, most of the people, but the nanny state drives me nuts. But it was great visiting again.
Spent many great years in San Diego, lived on Mission Bay. I didn't notice how bad it was until I left and spent hours on the phone trying to find out how to do things that are only regulated by CA. It took me months to get used to freedom. Kind of like Stockholm syndrome.
