She enjoys the weather
The overall atmosphere in California teaches you to accept this sort of behavior
She has far less living history of not accepting public homelessness, drug use, urination, and prostitution than I do.
She is probably like many of the residents of California.

That's an accurate accessment how a lot of people in California feel about living in California. They accept the homeless encampments, used needles on the sidewalks and streets, public urination and pooping stench. Open drug use, prositution, and high crime rates.
The incomes, taxes, and cost of living are all high. The congestion and rush hour traffic is horrible. No question about it, the weather is fantastic. There are nice areas where you can isolate yourself from the horrible things in California. But you know that you're living in a state which has been destroyed by the one party system there. Many people that live in California ignore the serious problems in California, and look the other way.
