Northern California DUers: What do you think of Southern California?

[SidneyCarton]

I say this as the few Northern Californians I have known have all considered living in SoCal to be a sojourn in purgatory. (Or at the very least objectionable) I myself have never been further north than Fresno, so I cannot pass judgment on Northern California, as I've never really been there.

So if you don't like Southern California, let me know why? As a native Southern Californian, I can take it, and I find the outside viewpoint on my home fascinating.
