Before i came to california, everyone told me how monterey was the most gorgeous spot in the country and it was the best place to live and omg omg omg....so far ive lived here 6 months and..
1) the cost of living is outrageous and compeltely not worth the fact that i live near a beach. at all. the water is ******* frigid anyhow...if you dont like to surf (aka wear a wetsuit) you might as well forget it.
2) the weather here SUCKS. its ******* june and feels like december. maybe im spoiled from living in the south but its always foggy, rainy and most of the time bad here. its june and i still have to turn on my space heater at night on some nights and wether i do or not i freeze my ass off in the mornings. its june and for PT we are still wearing full winter uniforms at work.
3) its like living in a damn tourist trap. you pay the ridiculous prices that tourists pay and you might get decent quality(insert item or food here) or you might even get less. i cant imagine why so many families come here for a vacation. if i was a kid and my family brought me here in june where i had to wear sweaters, long pants, and jacket id be ******* pissed. and its expensive as hell...
4) there isnt s*** to do here unless you like to sit ont he damn beach and not go in the water (50% of the time when the weather is nice enough to do that with full gear on). once you do the tourist thing 10 times and pay outrageous prices for everything it gets old.
5) gas here sucks. not only is it normally close to 3 bucks a gallon but you get 91 octane is your absolute best and problably some al gore tree hugger supporters piss in it and make it even worse because my car ran like s*** once i moved here. top that with the tree huggers and stupid pigs (read: cops) and this place is a real joy for car modders.
6) finally, if you live elsewhere and want to move to cali, dont ******* move near here, it sucks. stay wherever you are (i am from pittsburgh and i would rather live ther emuch more, or even southern friggin oklahoma).
