The difference in environments has a great impact on the type of people that live in each region. An individual 's race, ethnicity, hobbies, political views, job, etc. all can have an impact on what area of California they live in. Some people, including myself enjoy a lot of outdoor activities that fit well in Northern California areas such as hunting, hiking, snowboarding, etc. Meanwhile, people that live in southern California may have much different outdoor hobbies due to the change in climate. The contrast between north and south almost creates a split in the state.

There are many reasons why no one should be living here and the ones that give a good reason why people should, is heavily outweighed but the disadvantages. One major disadvantage is the water situation.
