Beaches & Sun - YES - But that is not all- Traffic no matter where you are going, if not between 10am and 2pm then after 9pm, do not leave your house. Example: Irvine to LAX in the morning is less that 35 miles and will take you from 1.5 to 2 hours. If raising a family you will need to live in the South Bay (Manhattan Beach) or Newport Beach in the OC or Santa Barbara for a good clean quality of life, and before you head there know you should be making a combined income of $500,000.00 or more. Highest sales tax LA/OC combined in the US, and crime is on the rise in all of SoCal. Bottom line is that if your quality of life is more important than beaches and sun year round don't move... Life is more than beaches and sun- 30 years ago i might of had a different view. 50 years ago a very different view.
