but it blows my mind that people would pay 3/4s of a million dollars to live in that shitbox. Add in the awful traffic, shitty schools, California income tax, and crush of people and I just cannot comprehend.

I know the weather is fantastic, but that and the proximity to Disneyland fall short of overcoming the rest of the shortcomings.

It is crazy to me that those people don't just move to Nashville or similar and live a way better quality of life. Living in the Nashville burbs would give you the same commute time to the airport, actual space between you and your neighbors, good weather, 0% state income taxes, good schools, little commute time, less density, and a way nicer home for less money. Here are several homes $50-$250k cheaper that are larger, nicer, and fit all of the criteria above.
