Oh, my dear, coastal Orange County is awesome. Weather is 70 year round, the beaches are nice and you can still BBQ on some of them, and conservatives are just good middle class people along with some wealthy ones in Newport Beach. Life is more beautiful than LA but you don’t have to pay for parking anywhere. Yet you are close enough to LA to still attend events, etc.
Stay coastal and you’ve got lots of choices, though of course home prices are way more than TX. Coastal cities, not necessarily right on the coast. Seal beach, Huntington beach, costa Mesa, Laguna, San clemente, Aliso Viejo, etc.
There are other great places in CA that are conservative but not redneck too. Hope you get lots of choices in the thread. Gov’t sucks here but you can beat the weather and most people are pretty nice.
Thanks Yaelle. Uplifting comments are truly and genuinely appreciated.
We don't really have any Rednecks here. With ten shot magazines, CCW’s as hard to come by as Sandra Fluke's hymen, no open carry, Illegal Aliens (but you can't call them that) driving around without Licenses or Insurance, Illegal Aliens Voting (nobody cares), ridiculous Income and Sales Taxes and the biggest bunch of Morons running the show in Sacramento, California is not conducive to the Redneck lifestyle.
That being said, South Orange County is paradise. If not here, the Central Coast is the place to be if more Rural living is the name of the game. We have Family up there.
