If you like smog, lots and lots of people & lots of fancy cars, many various ethnic groups, sunshine, palm trees,shopping, restaurants and an extremely fast paced lifestyle, then you'll probably find it's fine for you. I left 5 years ago. Couldn't take it any more. But I do miss the climate.

It depends> Can you tolerate congested traffic...always. Do you mind "cuing in long lines to do anything." Are you familiar with smog? Do you enjoy the temperate zone seasons? It's always the same in Southern California... except when it pours. There is always the ocean... but then, the Jersey shore had that! Do you like superficiality? That's really not a fair statement... people aren't that self-absorbed there they just seem that way. Actually, there are a lot of people that are highly enlightened... and genuinely humanist in their thinking... they can be very gregarious and accepting of others quirks. No place is all bad or all good. As the ol' adage goes, "Gotta take the hide with the tail."

I've been to PA, Philly and Pittsburgh..I am not going to say EVERYONE IN PA is ignorant or bigoted or racist..that is a BS way of stereotyping anyone or any group of people... BUT...get ready for a VERY open minded people...
this is just what I have seen on personal experience..
my wife is a dark Brazilian (our son is white) and I am white and when we went to King's Restaurant outside of Pittsburgh...ALL of the knives and forks dropped to their plate when we entered the restaurant...
THAT will not happen in LA...interracial marriages are normal and happen everywhere..
It is HOT, there is not a lot of rain..except for the wintertime..and it'll rain for a couple weeks straight and you may or may not see it again..for another 300 days;...Southern California has been known to not even have clouds throughout the summer...there IS always the idea of having "the big one" ( San Andreas Earthquake) that keep you on your toes...and ultimately..there are VERY high priced homes AND condos..
I don't want to discourage you completely...The Beach (not the shore) is our haven, it is clean (in orange county) and we like it that way.. we love our ability to snow ski and surf on the same day from December through April..
There are plenty of sports if that suits you..as well as teams from PA that come through here so you can get a homesick feeling quenched from time to time..if that helps...
Sunsets at the beach are inexplicably BEAUTIFUL..priceless really..
lifestyle is relaxed..but you have to put in your 100% at work..slacking is not an option..too many people can take your job from you if you can't put forward your best..

All of my friends who live there say the same thing...they absolutely hated it at first and now they love it. People either love it or hate it...there's no in between. Give it some time and you will probably fall in love with it.
