The Southbay of Southern California is the greatest place on the planet. Climate, access to restaurants/travel, the ocean, and the people are nice.

it’s one of the most expensive places on the planet for that reason. I grew up there, and have moved around the country in my adult life. It doesn’t get better.

that being said, I value the weather, access to entertainment/restaurants, and the beach a lot when I consider where i want to live.
