15) California

It is no secret that Malibu is located in California.  In fact, for someone not from California, Malibu is likely one of the first things they picture in their head when someone mentions California.  As Californians, I'm sure we've all encountered this.  Whether you are in another state or someone from another state is visiting, most people seems to have a notion that if you're from California, you likely spend most days in Malibu on the beach either surfing in the waves or tanning alongside some palm trees.

"Foreigners" are right for thinking this because in a way, Malibu is California and California is Malibu. Malibu embodies many things about California.  Aside from all of the physical similarities, many other things can be tied together.  Malibu has a pretty open-minded way of thinking and embraces it, much like the rest of the state.  Prices of everything in Malibu, from houses to coffee are quite high, even compared to the rest of the state, just like how prices of things in California are much higher compared to other states.  You could say that Malibu is the crown jewel of America's crown.  Maybe I say that because I'm proud of my state, and I'm sure there are many people out there who would disagree with that statement, but I can safely say that Malibu is the most Californian city in California.
