Discussion

zacha8782: Napa in C, finally someone says it. Overpriced and hot. Go to Sonoma.

AndreEats: "Yosemite Area" isn't a city

SuperBadger47: Yosemite is the bucket list one. Big Sur in summer is a coin flip on whether you see anything through the fog.

SleepyPenguin5877: Venice Beach is fun for people watching for about an hour

wizardenjoyer6580: San Diego is the most livable city on this list and it's not close
