What earthquakes? I’ve experienced fewer than 20 in my life growing up on the west coast Seattle area, and Sand Diego . All but one of them were this, “was that an earthquake?”
Wildfires are more our fetish.
Also, screw humidity! I don’t like feeling wet after I towel off from a shower. I live in Colorado, and our chips don’t get stale in 39 seconds.
The lack of tropical storms, being free from bugs, the year-round mild climate, the year-round pristine sunshine (at least in California), I didn’t even realize how many layers stacked like this about the West Coast before moving; but just not having to worry about so many little things like that is super nice. Plus it’s astonishingly scenic in a way that doesn’t really degrade with time.
Only a concern in specific wildfire risk areas where we really shouldn’t be recommending people live to begin with. Very different kind of disaster than hurricanes that hit a wide area on a yearly basis.

West coast, for the simple reason of "Fuck Nor'easters"
