I ****ing hate Sac State, those bitches refused to give me my financial aid I got from the cal grant. ****ers, I couldn't go to school for like 2 semesters.

Luckily we moved to Valencia, COC is so good in helping it's students.

Anyway, Bay area takes the cake tbh. The weather alone>>>>>>>

NO DAMN WAY! I go to COC too! I have to admit, it's a good community college - it just lacks in social events.

Anyways, I've grown up in SoCal my whole life (born in San Fernando Valley, raised in Santa Clarita Valley, visited Simi Valley, Irvine, Woodland Hills & Santa Monica Beach + Hollywood, Burbank). Despite the hot weather, I honestly just love it out here because we only have to worry about wildfires and earthquakes. But Valencia literally has no wildfire danger unless you live near Magic Mountain

I've lived in both regions and I prefer Norcal. But I'll list the pros and cons based on my own opinions.

Norcal Pros:

- More educated people
- Better weather
- Higher paying jobs
- Less ghetto areas
- Less driving is required (lower gas bill)

Cons:

- Ridiculously high cost of living
- Parking is a pain

Socal Pros:

- South OC is beautiful
- More car friendly.

Cons:

- More uneducated and trashy people
- More rude drivers
- Dirtier, more smog, pollution, litter
- Weather is hot as hell and overrated, unless you're right next to the beach.
- Most areas are ghetto and undesirable to live in, the few nice areas are super expensive.

Not you dissing SoCal like that when SF is widely known for being dirty, full of aggressive homeless people, and having chilly weather in the summer

It's easy to call a place out on its cons, and both NoCal and SoCal have them. You lived in SoCal so you should know there are more pros to SoCal than that

SoCal will ALWAYS be superior to NorCal. I was born and raised in Thousand Oaks and I go to UCLA right now, and I've gone basically everywhere in LA. I love visiting NorCal (my family lives up there), but it could not compare to SoCal.

Everyone prefers different weather. I prefer cold weather and never liked how most of Socal is an oven during the summer. Yeah, San Fran is dirty, and the homeless are a problem, but I was referring to the region as a whole, not just SF. Although SF has bad areas, there's an overall higher standard of living here. La's nice areas are few and far between,
