9 Unwritten Rules Every Northern Californian Lives By ‘Til Death
Some rules aren’t necessarily written into law here in California, but we NorCal folks take them as seriously as if they were the legal truth. Here are 9 unwritten rules every Northern California lives by until death.
We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life. While we continue to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, please take proper precautions or add them to your bucket list to see at a later date. If you know of a local business that could use some extra support during these times, please nominate them here: onlyinyourstate.com/nominate

The high cost of living and skyrocketing real estate prices are a headache for many buyers, renters, and homeowners. So you can bet people will be up for commiserating.

Stressed out? Yoga. Want to shed some pounds? Yoga. Trying to find your zen? Yoga.

How will you join in the conversation when talk inevitably turns to food? It's NorCal, and we take our tacos pretty seriously around here.

Parking can be limited in many areas of NorCal, especially in the bigger cities. Learn to parallel park. Don't be like this guy in the picture.

When you broadcast to your friends that you're going to Burning Man, are your friends clamoring to hook you up with rides, supplies, and tickets? If so, you're a well-liked person. Burning Man assistance doesn't go to just anyone.

Sure, the majority of the population in the Bay Area may be involved with some kind of tech. But we're also a low-key bunch here in NorCal, and our jobs don't get broadcasted on our chests.

We love our organic food around here, and that means supporting local farmers, sustainable farms, etc.

Some farmers markets may say "no dogs allowed," but many vendors will give Fido a snack anyway.

California doesn't give out plastic bags anymore, so bring your own paper bags or reusable bags. Come on, it's the least you can do for our environment.
NorCal is a unique and awesome place, and if you follow our unspoken rules, you’ll fit right in! We have tons of cool attractions here, too – check them out here.
