NorCal vs. SoCal

<p>^ Ugh, I know! Evan, have you been to Lolita’s? Best. Carne. Asada. Fries. Ever. And California burritos. Hahaha.</p>

<p>NorCal:</p>

<p>-Better weather
-Nicer people
-More cultured socio-environment
-Better weather
-Prettier surroundings
-More socially liberal society
-Better weather</p>

<p>I feel no love for SoCal :(</p>

<p>where are my socal people?</p>

<p>@theregoesevan: they sell carne asada fries at Las Vegas Tacqueria, they have several around the bay area.</p>

<p>Southern California. Sun. Pretty People. Mexican Food. Sun. Awesome Schools. Sun. </p>

<p>FTW!</p>

<p>nah, norcal wins by miles.</p>

<p>@theregoesevan</p>

<p>Denial is the first step towards acceptance, the Norcal lovers will eventually learn.</p>

<p>I love that this thread is posted during the first season Giants v. Dodgers series. Giant’s got it this afternoon with lincecum pitching. GOOOO GIANTS!</p>

<p>Traffic in LA sucks balls. Summers are waaaaaay too hot. Like you don’t even want to go outside hot. People think it’s great weather, yea maybe for a week or two when your on vacation, but three months of burning heat is not fun. Also, people are a bit contrived, predictable, gossipy, obsessed with stars. The good thing about down here are the Dodgers, Lakers, Beaches, Women, and Mexico proximity. </p>

<p>As for Norcal, I don’t know I’ve never lived there but I would assume its not much different from SoCal on the traffic front, at least in SF. I hate the giants, so…but I like the 49ers, that’s good I guess, too bad I don’t like football that much.</p>

<p>dude, you realize that socal also includes places like newport beach, huntington beach, santa barbara, and san diego.</p>

<p>Summers are GENERALLY hotter in norcal and the winters are colder.
weather should NOT be an argument, heck, isn’t SD generally considered to have the best weather in the world?</p>

<p>^ So true! Yeah, it’s hot down in SD, but the average in August is a little over 75 degrees. And even if it DOES get hot, we have them beaches. It’s not quite the same as swimming pools.</p>

<p>this is where I live
[Costa</a> Mesa, California - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia](<a href=“Costa Mesa, California - Wikipedia”>Costa Mesa, California - Wikipedia)</p>

<p>yearly average high: 68F
yearly average low: 56F</p>

<p>average high in the summer: 72
average low in the winter: 50</p>

<p>the weather’s pretty unbearable at times though, I remember one time I actually felt like I needed to wear a sweater during the winter</p>

<p>the .4" of rain each month is also pretty bad</p>

<p>San Diego, America’s Finest City. </p>

<p>That’s whats up. Best weather in the the country.</p>

<p>Technically I shouldn’t be putting anything here cuz I’ve only been living in california for not such a long time buuuut-
I’d say (without even going to norcal) that, IF rumor is true, it seems like it’d be better up there because</p>

<p>A) Rumor has it that people, as a whole (not that everybody is), are much more down to earth and less egocentric–I had HUGE issues adjusting to this aspect of LA culture from PA and still do hahaha.</p>

<p>B) Less flashy</p>

<p>C) Better public transport hells yeah</p>

<p>D) I don’t know? Redwoods/Sequoia! I’ve always wanted to see them</p>

<p>But then there’s san diego, and it seems very chill and people seem very nice/down to earth there haha</p>

<p>I must say, folks. Compelling stuff. Oh, hell. At least we’re all in California, right?</p>

<p>^
hahahah yes! That is exactly what I mentioned in my OP!..even thought I think NorCal is better I do think SD is pretty bomb ;)…Cali FTW!</p>

<p>I can’t stand SF’s weather, it’s so glooooomy and cold. Biggest reason why I think i would kill myself if i get into Berkeley.</p>

<p>@girlyshout</p>

<p>The weather in the Bay Area is actually really nice most of the year…and I for one like the subtle variation of weather…you could literally have a bright sunny day followed by a rainy day followed by a breezy day…it’s the unpredictability that I love! Irvine is like 75 degrees sunshine all year it seems like…where’s the fun in that?!</p>

<p>I tend to agree with the California argument. Up north or down south, it’s still California. I thank god every day that I wasn’t born in butt f u c k middle America. I’m so the opposite of the majority of Americans, therefore I don’t see myself living anywhere but the East or West coast. California, however, is the greatest state to live in by far. I could care less about economic problems and politics, that’s all temporal. This is just a really great state, full of culture and beautiful landscape. I actually feel spoiled that I grew up here, and I feel sorry for those who are not on either coast.</p>

<p>@Vintij- ha ha ha! I know. Here is what I see on a map: West Coast… Chicago… East Coast. </p>

<p>That’s all. :D</p>
