California's the state I don't get, from that standpoint. Sure, San Francisco's got a great climate, but it's on a whacking huge faultline. And LA? It's on a whacking huge faultline in the middle of a desert.

Me? Given a choice, I'll take New England. I figure having to periodically scrape a quarter inch of ice off my car (which, to me, is the true signal for when winter starts) beats hurricanes (the local Big Hazard here in the Carolinas) or earthquakes any day. That, and I can get better food (well, better pizza, anyway; there's no substitute for the Mexican one finds here), and the climate is better politically. (Around here, a "liberal" is someone who locks his guns up at night.)
