Oh SoCal... Haven't lived there for 40 years, but my parents lived there all their lives so I've dipped in and out most of my life too. It really is a planet unto itself. Last time I visited, after a long absence, I looked over from the passenger seat of my friend's car only to see what looked like an 8-lane highway directly next to the 8-lane hwy we were driving on, and I thought, oh, my, we really do like our cars don't we? Happy to be carless in Spain... 😀 Enjoy the rest of your visit, Andrea!
Ha! There is definitely no shortage of cars - I can attest to that after sitting in traffic for 1hr 20min just now! A good chunk of them are now EVs, but still. It would be great to live someplace where you could walk/bike to everything, for sure!
I don’t get to California all that much but it does have a vibe. One thing I noticed is people are more inquisitive and feel free to ask what is going on.

Hmm, interesting observation. I haven't come across that, but then again I avoid eye contact and most interactions with people, lol! :)
