My last employer used betterment for our retirement. I still have that retirement and have a HYSA already collecting 4.5%. No issues so far.

Yes, though I would think it's common knowledge. In case it isn't: bank rates for savings and CDs, as well as Treasury rates, are by convention stated as an APY (Annual Percentage Yield). That is to say, if the interest rate remained the same AND you kept continuously reinvesting your money into the same account for 1 year, you would make the stated APY in interest.
If you live in a state without state tax, you can make a direct comparison between the Bank and Treasury rates over the same term length. As most of us don't, we have to consider the tax benefits from state tax exemptions (in my state this include state income tax + SDI [State Disability Insurance]). If you are willing to jump through the extra hurdle (which isn't much), T-Bills will curently give you a better realized rate of return than savings or CDs. In addition, you can ladder them to get interest every month if you so desire.
These are the rates of Treasury T-Bills as of their latest respective auctions:
26wk at 5.483%
17wk at 5.442%
13wk at 5.409%
8wk at 5.361%
4wk at 5.318%
That said, if I lived in a state without state income tax and my bank offered a 5.25% 3 month CD, the convenience of dealing with a local bank might outweigh the minimal difference in interest. In the case of Betterment, I'd also have to take into consideration that it isn't a local bank and has only been around for 15 years.

I used to live in California up and down North to South. Crowded is basically anywhere it's desirable to live. If it isn't now, it will be soon anyhow.
I don't mind weather at all, and the winters are the best. Nice, cool and breezy.
I do wonder though, where would you rather live?

Everyone's financial situation is different. I do 4 week T Bills ladder weekly so I have liquidity when needed. Plus also rates hikes coming that keeps that allows me to get in on higher rates with short term maturity
