A lot of people retire to Florida because it is warm year round, but it is by no means just old people.

As for California, it depends on where you are. If you are in Los Angeles or any of the other major cities things will be expensive. Pretty much any major city and its metropolitan area will be expensive. New York City and LA are probably going to be the most expensive out of any of them.
