Northern California was once an escape from the chaos down south. A slice of that Classical California - the California that is all but extinct. I'd always marveled at the beauty of Mt. Shasta.










Take a look at this beautiful town - Folsom. It has extremely low crime rates!

inb4 51st State Of Jefferson

The Bay Area is extremely liberal. If you head north it's more Red.

The north is where it's at I hear

Ironic that it's known for its jail

this is where I live srs


it is very nice. Mostly white people, asians, and indians. Crime rate low, but not as low as you think. I've had my toolbox broken into 3 times since I've lived here. Also lots of reports of catalytic converters getting stolen recently




basically all the big cities are liberal and the rest is conservative. It is the exact same way for the rest of the US.

When people say "northern california" They usually mean the Bay Area, but as someone that was born and raised in Chico, I consider everything north of Sacramento "Northern California"

There's nothing up there. The cost of living is significantly cheaper than the rest of the state but the weather sucks. blistering hot in the summer, and just stuck in the upper 30's all winter, but never quite cold enough to snow (unless you actually go up to the mountains). There are no jobs everyone is either a nurse a crippled tradie hauling lumber or some chit or a "hustler" doing odd jobs. You're hours away from the beach, but its "pacific northwest beaches" and by that I mean there's no sand at the shore its just gravel and the Alaskan current brings in all the cold water so you'll freeze your balls of the moment you step foot in the water, and even if you have a wetsuit, the waves are too calm to surf. Its perpetually muddy and dirty, and its just a cluster of small podunk towns with nothing to do but gamble at casinos. Yet despite all of that you still have to deal with the high cost of living compared to the rest of the country without the perks of living in California. If I wanted to stay in a region of country like Norcal, I'd just move to a place like Idaho because its basically the same damn place in terms of job opportunities and demographics.

Are you tryna grow green in the emerald triangle???

Thanks for the insight. Did chico get hit by the camp fire any bit? Paradise got nuked

2 threads related to complaining about liberals on the front page. You're on a roll, OP.

Chico, Oroville, Gridley, Grass Valley, Redding RedBluff, pretty much ALL of Butte County took a hit because of the Paradise fires. There's been an influx of 20k+ displaced Paradisians who have lost everything and left Paradise flooding all the surrounding cities and towns. All those people basically became a new homeless population because they were already poor as phuck to begin with, and all of this was BEFORE the pandemic. Its still a mess up there after all these years.

Damn. It's a cold world. Is the college in Chico still goin strong? Chico is a college town isn't it? A rodgers went there

My brother lives in Tahoe and loves it. It can be a tourist trap a few months out of the year and a hassle depending on which side of the lake you live, but the weather in the summer is unbeatable. Winters are obviously harsh, but the locals are good people and everyone is very friendly. Good restaurants and bars, and every March is Snow Fest, when the whole lake turns into a massive party.

oh ****, that's where the godfather pt 2 was at

dope spot

Northern California tried several times to split off from "California" but the measures failed every time.

All of California should be nuked and survivors should be shot as they try to flee across the borders ded fkin srs.

Chico is still a fun college town.

Tahoe is one of the most beautiful places I've ever been to in my life

All of it? I'm told there's still good places up north.

Pretty accurate depiction. Basically the coastline is liberal, and you get more conservative the further east you go.

Damn!

Placer County checking in. Still the GOAT.

El Dorado county crew......

Howdy neighbor.

Seems meth's a problem in all small towns that have nothing to do

It has plenty of red areas, but you're still gonna have the same commie government no matter where you are in the state. Gavin Nuisance as governor, high taxes, less rights etc. I would avoid the whole state for that reason

GOAT fishing and backpacking are the only reasons I still stay here otherwise I'd fukc off to Montana or Idaho. Between the ocean and foothills and alpine lakes we have legit year-round fishing opportunities here that's not available anywhere else in the country.
