I don't think it was a ridiculous remark. Just saying the cost of living is ridiculous. I don't want to live where they have earthquakes. What's wrong with that? Nothing juvenile about it?
I don't know what you mean about someone always wanting to take a swipe at Ca?

Someone had to feel that unless it's in an unpopulated area.
I wouldn't live in Ca if you paid me.
LOL, I feel the same way about places that get hurricanes and tornadoes every single year.
Communities get destroyed, people die ..... and yet, they stay.
@Tinkrbl44 Not everyone can afford to just pick up and move, or can't leave relatives, friends, everything they know. You can't just skip off and get a new job in a lot of areas, can't take your farm with you etc. Sometimes life is hard and you have to play the hand you are given.

@NightowlzCA is a big state. I live in northern CA and in my 64 years have never experienced any natural disaster other than mild after shocks from SF earthquakes.
I'm not sure where in the State they have more earthquakes.
My SIL lives south of Fresno. She said they have never had one. I have been in OK for 53 yrs. Never saw a Tornado. DH has seen one.
We did have a flood here years ago. Nothing like what you see today.
@Nightowlz Lived in OK all my life, been in a tornado and seen three of them, high rise building fire, 2 car crashes, 2 bad horse accidents, and in a hurricane in New Orleans (not Katrina). I'm still here.

That's a lot of disasters to deal with. I wouldn't want to be in a high rise on fire.
My brothers wedding reception was in some high rise in Dallas. We could see airplanes fly by out the window. Too high up for me.
I had a horse throw me off when I was a teenager. I was knocked unconscious. I didn't know how to ride a horse. The horse knew I was scared.

I love California, been there many times, have family there. Every place has its problems, whether it be Tornadoes, Hurricanes, Flooding, Earthquakes,etc..
I live in the Midwest and we have our issues as well....
I saw on the news where the elephants gathered in a circle protecting the baby elephants until they felt there was no threat. It was something to see......
