The NJ/NY area is very stressfull, but if you grew up here it is what you know, and what you are used to. I personally found San Diego to be beautiful, and an awesome place to vacation, but living there was weird. Sunny with blue skies every day can actually get old and boring fast, especially if you are used to 4 seasons.
It may be great for you however, so don't go by my experiences. When I was young everyone I knew wanted to move to California. It was just something everyone had to try out.
If you have the time and money, I suggest driving there, as the cross-country trip is fantastic!
I initially arrived in LA and hated it, as it didn't look anything like the Beach Boys vision I had in my head, so I headed south down the coast until I found somewhere that looked like my California dream.
When I got to Ocean Beach I was instantly surrounded by dune buggies, bikini babes, surfers, and pretty beaches, so that's where I stayed. Like almost every other NJ transplant I know however, I eventually moved back to stressland.
