They're both shitty but at least cost of living is low

The weather in Southern California is unfair. I'm not sure I've ever seen a better place to live year round. February, August, it doesn't matter. Now, it's not a perfect world, and there are trade offs. Horribly expensive, the traffic is god awful, every thing is overcrowded, and the people are meh. If I made a couple million a year I might live near the beach and never look back, but since I don't, I'm okay with living in Texas and visiting California every now and then.

How much time have you spent in WV?

I'll take the Mountains over California any day. Mississippi is hit or miss for me.

What do you mean by Mountains? Arkansas type Mountains?Topanga Canyon is about 10 miles north of Santa Monica along Highway 1. You know that Yosemite National Park and Lake Tahoe are in Northern California, right?

Southern California native here.
You do realize there are huge mountain ranges that run from the Southern most border with Mexico up North into Oregon right?
The highest point in West Virginia is 4,863 ft. (Nearly 2,000 ft smaller than the highest peak in Tennessee fwiw) The highest peak in California is nearly over 14,500 ft...
CA mountains > Anywhere East of the Mississippi mountains

I look down on MS as a whole over WV. Their only ssaving grace is Bay St. Louis - Biloxi.

I currently live in Mississippi and having lived in Diamondhead (Hancock County) I can tell you that I would much rather visit BSL or OS and live up in Madison. Much more to do, better place to raise a family, healthcare is 1,000x better, school system isn't even comparable and all at a fraction of the cost compared to when I lived in Chicago or St. Louis.

West Virginia as a state is beautiful country. Morgantown is alright.

All of West Virginia is mountains. All of it. And they're thickly and lushly wooded in a way that makes California's look absolutely barren. There is a big difference in actually living in the mountains and having them as a weekend getaway that you may or may not be able to see on a distant horizon because they are tall.
I say that as someone who loves California.

Except that it isn't. Small to mid sized ridges do not equal mountains. Especially in parts of the Western half of WV. I live in Appalachia and see both the mountains and ridges/hills everyday. It's not hard to distinguish between the two.

....When comparing them to areas like Joshua Tree and Death Valley in the southern most parts of CA, yes. When comparing it to parts of Central and Northern California this statement isn't close to accurate.
I have no idea what point you are trying to get across here anyways? West Virginia' mountains (like Tennessee's) are more forested in sections due to the difference in vegetation between the two areas ? OK?

Wut -- So people live in the Mountains in West Virginia, but only look at them from afar in California? As somebody who lived in the Sierra Nevada's that's news to me. FWIW, there are probably more people who live in the mountainous regions of California then the entire population of West Virginia 15x over.

That's an incredibly silly statement. 90+ percent of California's population is clustered on the coast or in the Central Valley.
