The choice of state is not random at all, california is closely identified with an iconic style of single-family house that dominated the west coast in the 20th century, it is called the "california ranch" style aka "california rambler" (technically there is a subtle difference but for most purposes it means basically the same thing). It's the single most recognizable style of single-story house, and if you were to ask the average american adult what's the name of a single-story house style, almost guaranteed it will start with the word "california".
In truth, they exist all over the west coast, not just california, and other names exist too, but that doesn't stop the style from being called "california" by most people most of the time.
