  1. The Central Valley heat is AWFUL!!!! And the winters are still cold! At least have mild/warmer winters if the summer is unbearably hot. I'm not from here, and I'm not staying, but I've been here 13 years now. Every summer I tell myself, "This is the last summer I will endure here. I'm moving!" There are tons of trees ("Tree City USA") but it's still horrible and unbearable. I hate the heat so much. But a good job is here, and it's somewhat affordable, and everywhere else I would want to live seems unattainable. I know you moved to the Central Coast region, which is my favorite part of California, and where I have my eye too. Good for you for getting out and to the coast! I also miss the Pacific Northwest. Trees are so amazing and important! And usually the wealthy are the ones who get trees and the nature. In my city, the wealthier parts of town have beautiful old trees, are shady, and cooler than the rest of the city. The lower income areas contain asphalt, concrete, and empty, dusty dirt lots. Anyway, great video!
