Photo: Scott Strazzante, The Chronicle 2020 Editor’s note: California love isn’t fleeting for many of its residents — whether they’re born and bred in the state or transplants looking for a sunny slice of life. It’s a feeling that swells in our hearts every time we watch the waves crash along the state’s sandy beaches, when we look at the sparkling lights of the city skyline or when the fog rolls over the Golden Gate Bridge. For those claiming the sun has set on the Golden State, especially those who cry that the Bay Area bubble has burst, these love stories aren’t for you. Instead, we dedicate this Valentine’s Day to the Californians who have stuck it out and plan to stand by their piece of the land for years to come.
