In all honesty, I'd live there again, even in the current climate that seems rampant. Anyone mind giving some input from their perspective?\"\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCalifornia is a remarkable state, spanning the equivalent of many states along the eastern seaboard.  From North to South to West to East: Beaches, Valleys, Lakes & River Deltas, Deserts, Snow Capped Mountains and everything in between.  Home prices vary depending upon what you want and where you want to live.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOne of the greatest attractions is the Mediterranean climate which resembles Italy Greece & the South of France.\n\n\n\nI live in the Santa Ynez Valley, and when people see photographs I've taken in the springtime, they ask me when I was in Tuscany, and I tell them, \"this is near my house in Solvang\".  I was born in Santa Barbara, and for me, a Mediterranean climate offers the best weather in the world:  a climate distinguished by warm, wet winters under \nprevailing\n \nwesterly\n winds and calm, hot, dry summers, as is characteristic of the Mediterranean region and parts of California, Chile, South Africa, and \nsouthwestern\n Australia."]], "columns": ["post_id", "thread_id", "thread_title", "post_number", "author_username", "post_date", "post_date_iso", "post_body"], "primary_keys": ["post_id"], "primary_key_values": ["299554"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.7205600013548974, "license": "Public Domain"}
