Why Are These The 15 Most Hated Cities in California?

They say "The West Coast is the best coast", and I will be very partial and say that I wholeheartedly agree! I consider Washington, Oregon, and California to be the quintessential Pacific Northwest states that create the lovely West Coast, and obviously, California is the biggest state of the three, in more ways than one.

California has the biggest palm trees in the PNW (neither Oregon nor Washington have any of them, what a shame), as well as the biggest beaches.

I would consider living in California to be a dream, a dream that I’ve had ever since I got a Malibu Barbie in elementary school. I would sit right in front of my bedroom window and make a wish that someday I, too, would be able to drive around California with my best friends and a surfboard in the back seat.

I guess it's not too late for me to make that dream come true once my kiddo graduates from high school!
