Best wishes with whatever you do.
I have a lot of family in California, but do not want to move their myself.
I will leave New Jersey and I am considering Prescott, Arizona. It is not California, but close enough to family for me. Then again, I am also considering Asheville, North Carolina and Coeur d’Alene, Idaho.
I have friends in Prescott and the Housing is affordable.
Nice place but even AZ is going Lefty. We (as in I) were considering Flagstaff at one time but the Wife put the kibosh on that Plan. Elevation is too high and the Snow thing.
Have some Family in Colorado, but it’s just become California with thinner Air nowadays.
I think we Conservatives are being Herded into kill Pens.
Don’t get me wrong, Southern CA, especially S. Orange County is probably the nicest place in the Country to live.
Great Weather year round, no Bugs and it is just beautiful.
We are ten minutes from Laguna Beach and the Blue Pacific.
Unfortunately toxic Liberalism and their Open Border thinking has ruined it.
When my Family moved here from New York in 1960, it was truly The Golden State and the Land of Opportunity. Hard to believe Reagan was our Governor at one time. You would never know it nowadays.
