Lived in Cali 2012-2014 and lived in Nevada 2018-2019
Economy is definitely not that good in Nevada(kids graduate high school and work at the casinos or fast food restaurants)however you can make it by just working a single job as oppressed to Cali where you need at least 2 jobs AND a side hustle to survive
Cali weather>>>>>Nevada weather by a long shot
Both have dope scenery(I love the desert and the beach)
Cali has more to do as far as entertainment but Nevada nightlife is just as fun(especially if you know where to go outside of the tourist spots)
California weed crushs Nevada weed but you can find some hidden gems(Nevada Wellness Center be having gas and it’s black owned)
I would never move back to California but I want to retire in Nevada and live the rest of my life out there
