My acceptable non-LA SoCal places to live if you can afford to spend $1m on a house:
#1 Santa Barbara. Don't argue here, it's the best place in the country. Just don't.
#2 Big Bear / Lake Arrowhead. Mountain living in SoCal is so nice. There's a bit of a meth problem but I'm from KC so I'm used to that element.
#3 Pasadena. Okay it's pretty much LA but doesn't feel like it.
#4 Solvang / Buelton / Santa Ynez. Wine country speaks for itself. Watch Sideways.
#5 Cambria / Paso Robles / San Luis Obispo. Small town living without the screaming racism and MAGA hats? Awesome.
#6 Palm Springs. Desert and hot as hell but I like that. Imagina Marilyn Monroe laying by the pool in a mid-century house with big white sunglasses on.
#7 Pacific Grove / Monterey A+ schools and family atmosphere.
