Now I'm trying to sell it for $464K and it seems to be getting some interest, but you guys down there (except for New York, LA, and some other really premium places) pay less than half to get a much bigger house with all the same or better finishes.
And you have better weather generally - least in the lower half.
Why do I live here again?

Depends on where in the states.
In South Orange County, $400,000+ for a townhome sounds about right, and normal. You're not getting a decent sized SFH until around $700,000+.
Sometimes I look at places like Arizona and Texas and am shocked by how much more house you can get for the money compared to Southern California.
I do think the weather is better here though.
