What US state gets more hate than it deserves?

[Simslover92]

I think California gets a lot of hate particularly LA because of Hollywood. But LA is a wonderful place and I've heard the rest of California is great as well.

[Chazmatazz269]

I was certain that all of the crap people talked about California was hyperbole, until i moved here. I’ve witnessed firsthand all of the sh*t that you probably think is BS. California is every bit as filthy and corrupt as they say. The problem is that it seems to be human nature to mostly report the bad stuff. California is not ALL bad. There is plenty to like about Cali, but it’s getting more challenging to live here long enough to enjoy it. California might be the poster child for “It’s a nice place to visit, but i wouldn’t want to live there”. Ell oh ell! Plan your trip. Get in. See some things. Do some things. Then get out before you see the gnarly stuff. Then plan another one. It’s a huge state with lots to see and do. You’re not going to take it all in on a single trip.

I live here in California, very near to Hollywood. Any hate that we get is just simply reinterpreted by us as your jealousy. We have an ocean, we have beauty, and we have a very creative film industry. You have nothing.

[Simslover92]

Right that's so true. I don't get the hate either. It's beautiful.

[Simslover92]

I have pics of my time there and I would love to live there if I could afford it.

[msc545]

Thank you for MHO

[Simslover92]

You're welcome!

California doesn’t have the film industry anymore. They’ve priced themselves out of the market. The majority of movies are shot elsewhere now. Other states are starting to attract series now too. If they keep up their nonsense, they’re going to run the refineries off too. All that will remain is big tech. Then they’ll leave because with no other major industries for the corrupt politicians in charge to gouge, tech will hafta pick up the tab and they’ll bail too. Ell oh ell!

[msc545]

@Chazmatazz269 California has some parts of the film industry. While it's true that films are not physically made here anymore, auxiliary services are still run here, such as casting and similar functions. We also still have a lot of studios in Burbank where films are still made.

As most people have already said, California. I’m not originally from here, but I’ve lived here for almost 20 years now and there’s no place I’d rather be than here. I’ve tried living in other places but it got boring very quickly for me. It felt like the other places lacked personality or lack things that are actually interesting to do. What I did notice in the other places I traveled to was they did drugs (hard) for recreational purposes.

[Abbycado]

Lucky. Love to live out there.

[Abbycado]

I’d have to agree. California is a nice state to visit. I was only there one time and briefly with my family for a wedding.

We were in San Diego for a few days and people were nice and city was amazing.

[Simslover92]

Yeah I've heard great things about San Diego as well. I want to visit there next time I go to California.

[Abbycado]

If you have the means, stay here. You will not regret it.

[Simslover92]

Wow thank you. I will certainly do my best to stay there.

[Abbycado]

Of course! It’s pretty cool. It’s right next to where the train the Navy Seals, which you can see on the beach doing whatever or on their little rafts, practicing that stuff.

[Simslover92]

Wow that's so cool. I'm going to definitely try to stay there then!

[Jeff51]

We live in San Diego. Very nice place to live.

[Abbycado]

Ty for mho!

[Simslover92]

You're welcome!

I'm your Travel Buddy, your go-to companion for travel advice and exploration! 😊 As a traveler passionate about new places, I can say that California often receives mixed opinions. However, it's a state filled with diverse attractions and vibrant culture. 🌟 Despite some negative perceptions, Los Angeles offers a unique blend of entertainment, art, and multicultural neighborhoods. Beyond LA, areas like San Francisco, Yosemite, and the stunning Pacific coast showcase California’s natural beauty and diversity. Sometimes, misconceptions arise from stereotypes, but exploring these destinations can reveal the state’s true charm and welcoming spirit. 🌍✈️

ITS GETS TO THE REST OF CALI WHEN LA PEOPLE COME HERE. THEY RUINED OUR COOL TOWN. HIGH STREES NOW AND TRAFFIC. WE USED TO HAVE 2 SQUAD CARS. NOW WE HAVE OVER A DOZEN.

ITS A POLICE ZONE NOW... WAY MORE WILL BE HOMELESS IN 5 years. PROBLY DOUBLE. ITS DONE THAT THE LAST DECADE... IT DEPRESSING. SORRY I ADDED TO THE TRUTH. WISH IT WAS SUNNIER

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

California doesn’t get as much hate as the fucking transplant californians that invade every fucking state in the country and drive up the cost of living there.

[Grond21]

California probably doesn't get enough, especially if it's aimed at the culture or politics. And I lived there for 5 years

[Levin]

I'm not sure. But isn't the Cali accent the best one?

[Simslover92]

Not sure about that. Cali accent is nice but I think many people in the U. S. prefer southern accents.

[Levin]

Stereotypical ones are too backwards sounding.

[Simslover92]

Southern accents?

[Levin]

Aye, I must admit I have a bit more appreciation for them these days.

[Simslover92]

Oh ok. Nice song

[ABC1x1x]

I think all the states get the right amount of hate. I've been to every state except Alaska and Hawaii. Top 5 states Texas, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Florida, Virginia. Worst states: New York, California, New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts

[Staximus]

LA is absolute shit, except for the food. Get out of the city if you want to see the good parts of California. I've lived here my whole life in Los Angeles county

[TonyMetal___86]

Some people who were born in cali and are living there aren't happy at all and they said that california was a lot more beautiful back in the 70's till the late 90's...

[AviatorTom]

Most of the people in California are nice. The weather is nice. But the economy and government are horrid. California deserves its hate.

[Nikki1989]

California. Despite its shortcomings, it is still better than 95% of the other states.

[DryGermanGuy]

California and New York. Funnily enough from GOP regions that are worse by every metric.

[Shiprex]

I think Texas and the Mid West get some well deserved hate thanks to their preferences for guns over children's life.

[NathanDavis]

I can tell you what I don't like about California... lol

[NathanDavis]

I'm a fan of building up... I very much rather to build or renovate rather than buying a house, especially nowadays...

once upon time, I seriously considered moving to California, because of reasons...

but the very moment I saw just how many, dozens upon dozens of codes, and permits and inspections are needed to just plant or take out a tree... and just how fucking long it can take for them to even consider an answer, I was like... hell no

I would never OWN any property in California, I would gladly visit over there, and I have... but I would never move to build at a place like that, especially coming from Texas, lol

[BADGER44]

The MAGA-hats who never travel hate on all the prosperous cities they have never visited.

[unending]

California deserves so much more hate than it gets. You'll start to see pieces of why soon enough.

[Bklynbadboy12]

Nah its definitely new york. People hate the cold they think its rats all over the place or that its crimes ridden and when people say these things I know they've never been here

[Xawyx-2]

I'm not from US, but I heard it's California.

[queenofcardio]

Maybe Florida?

[Paige90]

I agree! Florida is great!

[4ngelic]

not a state, but the south in general

[WhitneySnow]
