Why does everyone say negative things about California?

I would rather be in California than any other American state. There is no other state I am interested in. I lived in NYC growing up and while New York City is a great place for children and families, I don’t have interest in it anymore. NYC for kids, and California for adults, is how I see it. The rest of the US outside of NYC and LA also possibly San Francisco, and Vegas, seems awful and boring in my opinion.
