... and don't forget California's ace in the hole: the climate.


It was what, 60 the other day in SF when it's been 90-something everywhere else all week?

Most people that visit think it's 'cold', they're expecting the hot weather of SoCal


Yeah, in the summer. In the winter most people that visit think it's warm. 90% of the country has either unbearable summers or unbearable winters or both, so SF wins despite the micro-climates (also if you don't like the microclimates just relocate 5 miles in any direction).

Personally I like seasons, but there is a huge contingent of people for whom some form of California weather is their idea of perfection whether that be LA, San Jose, or San Francisco.
