Skiing in CA is like drving on a freeway. Not a Mountain experince IMHO. Try BC and not Whistler.
Beaches are nice but again crowded and the sealife is tenously holding on. There has not been a live dungenss crab lava in SF bay for a long while. Puget sound is healthy and bountiful and g
Delta is very poluted from the Agriculture. Heck I would not eat a fish from there more than once every 3 years and make it a small one please

You are just kidding yourself about people leaving California for Florida.
First off, the weather in California beats that of Florida, hands down. As Rowenwood enumerated, the lifestyle in the San Francisco Bay Area is something just short of INCREDIBLE.
Furthermore, the Economy here in California is one that ranks as one of the TOP 5 Countries in the World. Extremely diverse, too.
Not just a place for Disneyland and Tourism.
Also, the property taxes here in California are capped at 2% per annum due to Proposition 13. As for State Taxes being a concern, you can always buy a condo up in Stateline, Nevada and ski Tahoe with no taxes.
Take a look at the following weblink and tell me how many towns and cities from CALIFORNIA are in the top 20 or top 50 or 60 for that matter!
