A 3hr flight to the West-coast can show you what you always see in those European traveling brochures. Now, Culturally, I think a trip to Southern Europe would be more appropriate given there longer existence than the US.
I see what you're saying, and I respectfully disagree. California is nice, but it's no Italy when it comes to scenery. Just my personal opinion.

That's great if that's what you like.
I own 4 cars and don't like driving on crowded streets and traffic jams.

I prefer nice, wide streets with little to moderate traffic...
(A good view is always a bonus.)

Actually, my grandmother was delighted the first time she came out to California to live (from New Jersey). She lived in Italy when she was younger and she said (when she saw the scenery from Los Angeles), "It looks just like Italy."

I love the way you said "actually" as if I was lying. As I said, in "my personal opinion" California is not as nice as Italy.

It may not look as nice, but it surely does have a Mediterranean climate. One of the few places in the world that does.

No claim of lying intended.

Most people know about the beautiful and varied scenery of California. Very similar to Italy.

Similar? Sure. As beautiful? Not in my opinion. That's all I was saying.

Yeah, all California has is Yosemite National Park, Kings Canyon N.P., Sequoia N.P., Redwood N.P. Angeles National Forest, Redwood N.P., the (San Francisco) Bay area, Los Padres National Forest, Big Sur, Morro Bay, Mt. Whitney (14,494 feet), etc.

But, yes, you do have your opinion (even though many would disagree with it).

You're acting like I was saying California is butt ugly. I said it wasn't as beautiful as Italy, in my opinion. You homers are something else...
