Serious answer: Fresno.

Fresno is about equidistant from SF and LA. It's a relatively short drive to Sacramento. But it's also a short drive from Yosemite and Kings Canyon, two of the most beautiful places in the world.

It also has pretty much everything a big city would have other than major sports teams. And it's cheap.

do not move to fresno unless you plan on starting a weed grow op because apparently their electricity rates are crazy low and it makes it the enterprise more profitable

Build all the 20 lane highways you want. They'll have to taper down to 3-5 lane highways/interchanges at some point, and you'll surprisingly get a bunch of backup from the morons trying to cut across the whole thing to get to their offramp.

No surprise that it�s this dude who is seriously suggesting someone move to Fresno.

the best way to reduce congestion is to just have an army of traffic drones to ticket people that switch lanes non-loving stop

"oh traffic is slowing down? let me gently caress it up even further as i cause all the lanes to brake to let my dumbass in as i desperately try to find the fastest lane"

The real strength of a solid public transit system is that you can drink on your way to work. If we really advertised that feature I think a lot more people would get on board.

For me, the real advantage of my 2+ hour Metro commute is that it justifies every Nintendo Switch game I buy.

there's a reason fresno and the other central valley cities are cheap

its because they're hell on earth

They have no jobs, they're hellishly hot and unpleasant all summer, and they're generally in the conservative zones that outsiders don't realize dominate the California inland areas. The fact that you can drive 2 hours in any direction from Fresno and find yourself in someplace more desirable, is more of a condemnation of Fresno than a recommendation for it.

Would you rather they continue to overpopulate SF/LA? All my arguments are valid for why Fresno would be a good place for a non-Californian to move to.

I also forgot to mention that it's also not a horribly long drive to the ocean, either.

On top of this, the air quality is absolutely horrific. You get a combination of smog and particles thrown up by agriculture that make it really awful.

It's cheaper though.
