To OP if you are planning to live within 15 or so miles of the Pacific Ocean getting to where the tracks are with enough time to ride is nearly impossible getting off at 3 p.m. Maybe just maybe make Perris for night practice. Pick your poison, be close to the tracks or be close to work???

I'm in Houston, Texas 1500 miles away and my neighborhood is starting to look like a Californian refugee camp. And I don't even live in a trendy/popular part of the State like Austin or the Dallas/Plano/Frisco area. There's a LOT of people from California moving here.
Clearly there's something wrong with California and there's thousands of people fleeing it by the truck load every day and headed west. There's no denying it. 1/3 of the State's budget goes to supporting illegals, it's massively in debt, it's pilfering State employees pensions, it's the most highly regulated State in the US and a sue happy goldmine. You can't even get a one way U Haul out if there because there's none. If they have one, they charge you an arm and a leg for it. You did not mention any of this. USA Today ranked DEAD LAST for "quality of life" two years in a row. The fact that BBQs on the beach, snowboarding, camping and surfing are your biggest worry tells me either you're really rich or you're about 20 years old.
No surprise that California is low on those items. Also no surprise that Texas is right there with them at the bottom.
FWIW, just checked Uhaul online and it looks like hundreds of trucks are available one-way from the Los Angeles area to Houston for pickup today, no advance reservation. So, not sure where you got that narrative, but it is surely made up.
and start to believe everything they hear
I'm in my 30s and my wife and I both make a good salary working full time. It's not for the faint of cash. We are doing good though because of the area that we are in. Paid 360k for a three bedroom house with a lake view. Gas is expensive, but everybody usually makes a higher salary. I would rather make more and be frugal when I need to, than get paid less.
*Edit, we also have mountian biking near by.
An old Yogi Berra-ism comes to mind: "The place is so crowded that nobody goes there anymore."
Its been said all over the thread... California is whatever you want it to be, so long as you can afford it. All 34 years of my life here, still love it.
.
That said, it's one of the very few places you go to the beach, ski, moto, mtb and hike all in the same week without going very far. Tons of fun stuff to do. And no winter!!
But there's no doubt the state is a hot mess financially,and politically. And they love to tax, charge fee's and regulate.
I wouldn't want to move there. My wife and I prefer the Southeast. But to each their own. Hell, look at all the people that live in states where the winters are brutal. They love it.
That's why we have the best country in the world, imo. When it comes to places to live, you can find just about anything you want.
Born there anyway, But on your comment that people love it
Maybe some do , but i would say 9 out of 10 people i Talk to hear say they hate winter , wich is strange right?
They live in a place with brutal winters, but seriously most say they hate the winter, its like a very large amount of people just stay where they where born, wether they are scared to move , or just make friends and have family there etc.
But i talk to a lot of people , and most here say they want to eventually move to a warmer climate even though most never will.
I definitely am moving to a warmer climate personally.
I haven't decided for sure where yet.
