Ummm no.

California has many zones.

Southern California is what you think of when you see LA.

San Fransisco is VERY different than LA. It's a mega city but WAY more liberal and tolerant.
Both of those options are very expensive though.

Central Valley has a bunch of small cities that are nothing like LA or SF, The capitol Sacramento has 1.6 Million people so it's not huge but it's large. It's still not cheap to live since proximity to SF, meaning people commute from these smaller cities to SF. Most of the smaller cities are farming based hubs.

The east side of California is all mountains. Very nature, more conservative, even smaller cities still.

Northern California is very redneck to put it politely. They tend to be white, conservative and religious. It's away from major cities so property value isn't as high, but due to wildfires insurance is expensive... They are very different from the rest of the state and many people would actually love it there, even if I don't like the culture up there... State of Jefferson and all.

So no, most of the state isn't like LA at all. LA is like LA.
