What is it really like to live in Cali? Up here where I live, we hear many things about Cali. Beleive it or not its mainly bad things, like cost of living is real high and the laws are real strick. No guns, well thats what I hear anyway. I like to be able to go in my back yard and fire off some rounds from my rifles if I want to. We hear that the employment there is real bad also. Then everytime I see pics or video's of people in Cali they seem to be happy and enjoying life.
