Well, I've lived up and down the East Coast. Lived in South Carolina, Georgia, New York City. Visited FL, AL, LA, TX, AR, NC, VA, PENN, NM, MASS, NH, RI..... the list goes on. Anyway, I just moved to California, Los Angeles to be exact, and I have to say that, as far as living goes, CA is the most relaxed, easy-going, carefree place to live, therefore, out of all the states I've lived, CA is my absolutely favorite. You can be whomever you want, no one cares (at least not in front of you). I love NYC too, absolutely a fabulous city and I can easily live there again... but... living wise... CA, particularly LA, is more comfortable. God I"m glad I'm in Southern California where most days are sunny, the beaches are nice, and there are soo many forms of entertainment and food.I <3 LA, then NY
