Ummm....is British Columbia a state? 
The Canukistan side of the San Juan Islands (the Penders would be perfect), or Lopez on the Washington side. I love mountains, I love ocean, and can't stand climate extremes (hot or cold)...so I'm pretty much stuck in the Pacific Nwst, just a question of where.

polarbear, IF BC were a state, definitely either Pender Island North, Pender Island South, Galiano, Salt Spring.
Heck, any of the islands between Vancouver Island and BC.
I definitely liked Galiano. Laid back setting.
I know it's against the thread's original post, but California if 29,000,000 people left and went back home.

Believe it or not.......Massachusetts. I've been going to Cape Cod most summers since 1980, and I fall in love with it even more every time I visit. Cost of living is INSANE, but since i!dery asked "if you could," I guess it doesn't matter. If the history of this country holds any importance in your life, and you've never been to Nantucket, well- you don't know what you're missing.

websthes, those campgrounds in BC were fantastic.
Clean. Supplied firewood. Really liked Wells Gray Provincial Park. Man, that was/is an awesome park.
The campgrounds along the Al/Can Hiway, same thing, clean, supplied firewood.
I really enjoyed the Provincial campground at Destruction Bay in the Yukon. A constant 35 MPH wind.
The campgrounds along coast highway 101 are also fantastic, especially from Nothern ca. to Washington state.

None of you apparently have been to Northern California.......Napa Valley, Bay Area, Sierra Mountians, Redwoods, Great Rivers, GREAT WEATHER....There are 3-4 different climates in Northern California.....if you do not like one....just drive 30 min or an hour to a different one.
East Coast is terrible......midwest is terrible too.
I was born in Missouri-lived there 16 years, lived in Colorado for a long time too. I have traveled all over the states. Except for Montana, Idaho, Oregon and Washington. I do not think I am missing much from those though.

I used to think that here in the Seattle area was the place to be, but not anymore. Too many people, most of them jerks, and a non people friendly govt.
I really enjoy the SW part of Alaska, Wrangell, Sitka, etc., so that is where
I envision myself migrating to.

ANAP, I have those different climates right here at home.
I know exactly what you're talking about.
I think most people won't choose Ca. not because of the location, but of the politics and population.
