Are you scared to go to California? why?

I have lived in California my entire life and I love it. I've visited other countries and states and I can honestly say that I wouldn't want to live anywhere else. The weather is great here! As for the gang violence, yes it exist however I have found that if you are looking for trouble you will definitely find it. Fires, earthquakes etc. every state has a some form of problem caused by nature. The glitz and glamor is a lifestyle that's shared between a some number of people. Unfortunately those people get a lot of exposure on TV. Most people in LA are not like that. Again you get what you ask for. If you want to live the high live then yes you can do that here. But if you want to be laid back you can do that as well.
