I love Ohio, it will always be my first home, but the west coast is pretty cool too, here's my top seven reasons:
1) its never too cold anywhere in the state
2) norcal people remind me of Ohio people
3) Night sky in the high desert is great, there are no city lights to get in the way of the starlight and you can see hundreds of stars in the night sky - fucking awesome.
4) drugs are way more available here then any of the other 15 states I've spent time in.
5) plethora of higher education options
6) location - you can drive a few hours in socal and be in desert, mountains, beach, snow, or otta the country
7) loads of very cool bluelighters live here
