We all hear people saying that California is one of the best places to live in 2021.
But do you know the cons of living here? Stay tuned with me to clear your views about California.
Hello and welcome back to my channel Nowhere Diary. Today I'll be covering the ten reasons
why you should never ever move to California. This video is particularly for those who consider
California heaven in the world. So make sure to watch the video till the end.
But before that, hit that subscribe button if you are new to the channel and seeing me
for the first time. Also, turn on that notification bell to keep up with my upcoming videos. With
that said, let's jump straight into the video!
10. High Mountains I know you might not consider it a big reason
for not moving to California. But let me clear my point before you start commenting about
it. So, I was saying that high mountains are the reason why you should never move to Chicago.
I know most of you love hiking and rock climbing. But on the other hand, most of you are afraid
of high mountains.
In California, you’ll notice the mountains are higher than you see in other states. If
you move to places other than South California, the chances are that you see mountains with
a bit lower height than these. However, I don’t recommend moving to California if
you are scared of watching high mountains.
9. Nuclear Waste and Illegal Drugs Nuclear waste and drugs both are injurious
to human health. If you are looking to move to California with your family, you have to
change your decision right now. California is not the best place for your little kids
as it is home to nuclear waste. But what is the ratio of nuclear waste, and where did
it come from?
The Diablo Canyon Power is an electricity producer, which generates 7% of the electricity
for the state. As a result, it throws away 20 tons of nuclear waste that pollutes the
environment. People have been complaining to clear off that waste, but its quantity
is just too much. The same is the case with drug addiction. Many people are victims of
consuming illegal drugs. As a result, they face physical and mental weaknesses. Who knows
if you or your family member become a victim of these drugs? So don’t move to Chicago
as health is wealth.
8. Unpredictable Weather and Natural Disasters Which season do you love the most? I love
winters because I don’t like sweating as I face on hot summer days. Predicting weather
conditions today is pretty easy now. However, the case with California is different. I am
not neglecting the fact that California enjoys sunshine 99% of the time. But you can’t
predict the climatic or weather conditions, especially for the places near water.
It is the reason why California faces natural disasters consistently. As a resident of California,
you have to be prepared to face disasters such as storms, floods, hurricanes, and earthquakes.
According to my research, these disasters haven’t dealt much damage to human life.
But anyway, you are in a state of constant fear. No one wants to live a life like that.
7. High Taxes Money doesn’t grow on trees. It is indeed
a correct saying, but only those people can understand it who are in the stage of earning
money. Before I stepped into my practical life, I didn’t think that earning money
would be that hard. Now, what would happen if you have to pay heavy taxes with a low
income? Yes, California imposes high taxes on its public, making them live an uncomfortable
life.
The taxes in California are much higher than in other states of the United States. But
what would be the reason? Of course, it is because of the luxurious lifestyle that this
state offers to its residents. Another reason is overpopulation. The government’s expenses
are more than its revenue, which is why it imposes heavy taxes to keep the circle working.
6. High Crime Rates High taxes are somehow manageable as you might
win a high-paying job in California, or start a profitable business. However, what would
help you if a thief puts a gun on your head and steals your wallet and mobile phone? No
one wants to face such problems, but you are not safe from these crimes when living in
California.
Reports show that California is a state with high crime rates. It is the reason why its
residents can’t enjoy a comfortable and fearless sleep at night. Not all the cities
in California are unsafe. But wait a minute if you think that high crime rates might only
be in small cities. You’ll be shocked to know that four major cities Los Angeles, San
Francisco, Oakland, and San Diego have suddenly faced an increase in thefts like homicides
and car thefts.
5. Pollution and Overpopulation I know I have covered the pollution topic
at point number. There, I discussed only the increase in pollution because of natural wastes.
However, it is not the only cause of pollution in California. For those who don’t know,
California is an overpopulated state. The population of the entire state is over 39,466,900.
With such a heavy population, the number of vehicles on roads is countless. If you live
in San Francisco, you’ll see countless cars moving here and there. These cars increase
the pollution in the state. The reason why the people of California prefer private travel
is the poor quality of public transportation, but the government is trying to sort out the
issue. However, no one can say about overpopulation.
4. Terrible for Small Businesses Whenever someone moves from one place to the
other, he strives to establish a source of earning for survival. The source of earning
could be anything, a job, or a business. But if you are looking to start a new business
in California, you probably are in the world of dreams. If you think you can run a small
business in California and generate a handsome income, you might not have complete details
of the state.
There are many reasons why you can’t run a small business in California, but the major
cause is the heavy tax system. If you are passionate about running a small business,
I recommend moving to Texas or Washington.
3. Brutal Police Whenever we face a serious issue in our society,
we pick up our mobile phones and call the police for help. Police in every part of the
world is indeed performing responsibility with honesty. However, the same is not the
case with the police department in California. Yes, sit back and think about why the crime
rates are growing at a faster rate?
If your police department has honest officers, they work hard to control violence from society.
The reason why crimes are increasing in California shows that the police officers are also supporting
the criminals. People have complained about the brutal and dishonest behavior of the police,
but nothing has changed yet.
2. Expensive Schools Nothing is more important for parents than
their kids’ future. It clearly shows that they can afford to pay as much as they can
to provide their kids a quality education. It is not the fact that you can only get a
quality education if you pay a high tuition fee. This concept is wrong. But let’s say
that you have to put your kid in the best school in your area.
You can afford the best private schools in almost every state except California. You’ll
be shocked to know that a college-level student has to pay over $20,000 as a tuition fee.
So what do you think?
1. Expensive Housing Now what? A state with expensive schools,
high taxes, and high crime rates also has expensive housing. When moving towards another
place, people first consider its cost of living. A place could be perfect for you if it offers
low living costs, even below the average value.
California is a state that has high housing costs way above the national average. The
census held in 2019 shows that the median home price in California is around 2.5 times
more than the national average, which is indeed expensive. I will never go for a place where
I have to spend all my bank balance on buying a house.
Thanks for making it this far till the end of the video. Today, I shared the ten reasons
why you should never move to California. You can share other reasons you think I missed
in this video.

states as well. I’ll see you in the new video. Till then, Be Sound!
