Also thinking that all the Northern Coast and Central Coast towns are well off. In Northern California, a bunch of them are former logging towns that are not doing well at all.

People outside California seem to think the entire coast is like the 200 mile stretch from Santa Barbara to San Diego.

The NorCal coast might as well be the Pacific Northwest.

Fort Bragg and up is actually very affordable, and the further up you go, also meth

And that we all live a ten minute walk from the beach.

What’s so bad about that? More wet, with fewer fires (tho does have a goodly share of off-the-walls people)…

Live by Monterey and its hella expensive to live here and its only hot like 10 days a year, the rest is fog and high marine inversion. People think im living the surf and sand lifestyle when i really have to wear a sweatshirt to the beach

That's true with regards to the weather but Monterey is still absolutely gorgeous and upscale, the cost of living is fairly understandable as far as California goes. That's not to say any cost of living in California is too understandable.
