Best? Alpine County. Seems like it's a patch of CA that we've managed to mess up the least.

Funny!
California is actually one of the states that has the FEWEST (at 58) number of counties. Only 20 states, most with considerably less population, have fewer.
Try Texas with 254 counties!

Imperial is about the only one that I wouldn't live there if you paid me to. I can find something to like about all the others. My favorite is Monterey. I've lived in Monterey, Salinas and even Soledad for a short time and I enjoyed them all. Beautiful place.

Worst: One of those Central Valley counties where it smells like cow dung.

Pick one. You're probably thinking Kings.

I lived in San Diego County, off and on for about 11 years, found in very interesting, pleasant and the weather is GREAT!

From what I have read, San Bernardino County = Mad Max zone.

That's totally subjective. But since city-data is as much opinion as it is fact, I'll say SLO Co. is the best. Yes, I'm biased. But top to bottom. In terms of quality of life, weather, scenic beauty, crime, geographic location. This place is top of the food chain. The county is bookended by two communities that have in the past been less desirable. Those being Nipomo and San Miguel. Those places have really cleaned up in the past 10 yrs. There isn't a community in this entire county that I would say to absolutely not live in, even Shandon. Top to bottom, it's hard to beat SLO Co. In all fairness though, California Valley is a little skectchy.

No clue on the worst. But just on assumption. Imperial Co. seems like it probably sucks. But I really don't know.
Great date shakes in Imperial County sold by the side of the road. Mostly desert (much of it below sea level) with some mountains. Have stopped in Holtville and Tecate but just merely passed through El Centro on the way to Phoenix.
