But I'm not here to brag. In fact I want to make my brothers and sisters back east feel a little better, since they still have snow on the ground from Christmas. So then, here are the top several worst things about California.
No delicatessens. The only place to get cold cuts is the supermarket and the only thing worse than the roast beef is the service. Back home, people take pride in selling and buying high quality meats. That's just not the case here.
Pizza sucks. The crust, the sauce, the toppings, the construction. It all sucks. Except for little Italian joint near my apartment. It's great! Score! But back to the suckiness, most places just don't get it. "Let's dump 6 pounds of random toppings on top of our frozen crust. Awesome dude!"
Avocados. They put them on fucking everything out here. Pizza included.
Just when you thought this would be an all food list...
Traffic/the drivers themselves. It's difficult to compare the traffic problems among some of the places I've lived. The DC metro area, Northern New Jersey, and now Southern California are all unbearable at times and I can't say if it's definitely worse out here. According to this list, it is but at least drivers in the first two places are comfortable driving in the rain. People lose their minds at the first sign of drizzle and start sliding all over the 405. Also, no one uses their turn signals. No one.
Crowded lineups. I said earlier that you can surf solid waves whenever you want. I lied, it's small right now. But when it does get good, you're out with 75 dudes no matter where you go.

Smog. Beautiful sunsets, ugly lungs.
That's all I
