But Rick, would you agree that $3-5 is more of a California thing?

I'd agree based on your data (which coinsides with my limited play outside California).

In my experience California games in part need higher blinds (relative to the buyin) to generate pre-flop action so the, ahem, "legally required front loaded drop" (i.e., the full drop is taken on any f_in flop) doesn't look so atrocious when you have only one or two limpers. In the case of the five dollar big blind game perhaps more players will complete a $3 SB (rather than a $2 SB) to $5.
