Why would anyone hate California, or any state, for that matter?

People who hate California either have never been there or they hate LA from the 3 days and 5 square miles they visited.

I live in this small agricultural city about 10 minutes from the beach. The weather is perfect, people are chill and the food is great. If I need a little more variety or excitement, San Jose is an hour away and San Francisco is 2.

I think there's a fair point some cities have a very real, and weird obsession with the lifestyle/vibe/setting/whatever and that carries into media.

NY/LA have been like that forever. Boston has been coming on strong the past 25 years or so. It gets pretty tiring when a movie is as much about the LA-ness or NYC-ness of the setting as it is about whatever the movie is nominally about.

Also, there are a decent number of movies set in LA that are just Hollywood doing a circlejerk, inside baseball depiction of how great Hollywood is (even if they try to hide it). That's not necessarily LA's fault, it just happens to be big hub of where movies are made. Those movies would be insufferable if they were set in Toledo too.

Well I’m my experience California would be an amazing state if it weren’t for the people there, lots of aggressive weirdos

Colorado, it’s like California with fewer heroin addicts and child molesters

Colorado has half the population of the greater LA area alone. You have fewer of everything, including decent people, taco shops, and even birkenstock-clad nature enthusiasts.

You also won’t find greasy “photographers” trying to offer you “modeling gigs” at the airport

I get offered modeling gigs wherever I go… Colorado must just think you’re ugly, lol.
