being from Wisconsin & Illinois and living in Claifornia, I have to say I have grown to love the place, despite the high cost of living.

However, there are a few annoying things Californians do:
At first I was put off by the people who would ask if I was from "out east", or the "east coast" because, as far as I am concerned, Chicago is the midwest, not "out east". Also, the Californians have this nasty habbit of calling the place my entire family lives a "fly over state". Excuse me?! You know you always have layovers in O'Hare.
Also, there is a bit of snobbishness about some people from California, like they are better than you for being born in San Deigo, and can say that 50 degrees is "cold".

That being said, the geography and weather here is wonderful. I really do like it!
