It could be the land of chocolate where you could eat anything that moved with fluffy rainbows and strippers, but what good is any of that if you have a work permit and they still don't let you drive and your family is in constant fear of deportation?
Another thing to consider, this gravy train may not last for ever. In 3 years, it's a very real possibility that CIR or Dream Act won't pass. It's also a very real possibility that DACA will be ended or there will be other limitations on it. This could be your only chance to get out and start a new life somewhere better. You'll kick yourself if you're sitting at home 4 years from now without a work permit or a driver's license and they've made the rules in your state even tougher.
You don't like California? Go to Washington, Utah, or somewhere else. That was just an example of where your parents could have a better life too.
