In that case, why don't you relocate to Florida?
1. The state income tax is 0%, compared to 13.3% in CA.
2. The beaches are much better than those in CA.
3. The Ganja is of the purest quality.
4. Miami is as good as SF or LA.
5. And finally, the weather. No one can beat Florida, as far as the weather is concerned.
I'm not American, but I've lurked in both places. California kicked the pants off Florida by a country mile. Florida was flat, sweaty and I got eaten alive by the insects. California oozed variety and beauty in comparison.
I think I'd rather pay the extra to live in West but I don't know how much more expensive it really is.
