revolving your life around fun in the sun "activities" and paying top dollar for it, yes. It is an attitude that annoyed me about both FL and CA (have lived in both places) so I'm not just talking out of my a$$. They are strikingly similar in attitude, and the people are fickle to cold weather in both. I think CA and west coast in general attracts a lot of naturalist/sensitive/touchy feely personalities. Probably a lot of "SF"'s on the MBTI personality test, as well as type B personalities. Nothing wrong with that at all, I have many friends who prefer that kind of stuff, I'm just not one of them. All subjective I suppose, I am only opining. I do feel strongly about it however.
I'm still kinda confused as to how that's shallow?
Napa and Sonoma are beautiful with the changing of the leaves, but it still isn't 4 seasons... I'd still have a hard time calling it a true autumn...it's mostly a dry/wet
Apparently inflated sense of self worth too...propelling humanity, give yourself a cupcake.
Well, there's a certain sense of pride in knowing that ponzi schemes are not one of our major exports.
In New York you guys ruin the economy and decimate the middle class with your bankers and hedge fund managers.
That's a trade off for NYC taking it upon itself to culture you hopeless chaps on mainland USA.
We entertain you guys. NYC owns Hollywood.
We teach you guys how to dress. NYC is the Fashion Capital. Fashion week just started in New York yesterday and the images are already pouring out all over the globe.
High culture in this country (arts, society, etc.) starts and ends in New York.
We run the media and keep you all informed.

My guess is its shallow (and correct me if I am wrong Grapico) because a lot of bay area people have this bizarre way of being hypocritical and ironic (maybe thats why there are so many hipsters there?). They talk about how cold a city is and how it sucks, then brag about skiing in Tahoe. The talk about how cool it is to go hang around the beach in Santa Cruz, even though the water is just as warm if not warmer in cape cod, in the summer. Never mind the fact that a lot of people who seem to brag about the multitude of outdoor activities in California, seem to be on the computer 24/7. Makes me wonder if these people have jobs or classes let alone actually partake in the outdoor activities they all seem to champion.
