: West coast is the best coast & Bay is Bae! California is known for renowned national parks, towering mountain ranges, pristine beaches, ancient redwood trees and everything in between. The cost of living is definitely high and challenges like car thefts, drugs and homelessness exist (which happens in every other state in the USA), but the salaries are good, the culture is vibrant and the views are the best! Anyone saying otherwise is Rebecca! Locations: 1. Capitola Beach, Santa Cruz 2. West Cliff drive, Santa Cruz 3. Stanford dish hike, Palo Alto 4. Shoreline lake, Mountain View 5.
