California is a whole different beast from the rest of the country


sort by: page size:

California is a wild place, and by no means representative of the rest of the country.

That's a weird take. What about life in California do you think is so different?

California. Crazy. Sums it up.

Maybe it's a relative perspective thing, but every Californian I know thinks they're quite different.

What makes California distinct in this regard?

California is a big a diverse place, and a lot more reflective of America than places that typically talk about how they’re “Real America.”

This strikes me as a uniquely Californian point of view.

California is a bit of an outlier in that regard.

You could say it's like California has multiple personalities

Weird thing all those Californians are from somewhere else also

California has them all over the place.

California is not the country.

I get the sense that CA is a whole different world than the rest of the planet, makes sense really

Have you been to other states? They're really not that different. California just happens to have way more people than most.

One of their examples is from California.

California is probably bigger than you think

What was unique about California?

California is unique because of Proposition 13, though.
