We have a son and his family in the SF Bay Area. They ask us to move there all the time, and as much as I love them and our grandson, there’s little chance of that ever happening. I try to explain to them that the cost of living is way too high. I don’t bother telling them about the politics of it. They know better than to bring that up to me.
We keep hoping that their situation will change to where they will want to move further east. So far, it’s not happening, but God has a way of handling things that maybe He can nudge them in this direction. I say my prayers that however it goes, He will bless and protect them.
Best of luck!
If I were 40 years younger and not a couple of years from retirement, with a pre-prop 13 house (my property taxes are 1/20th of my next door neighbors; the house my folks bought for $17.5K is now worth $750K, a 2 bed, 1 bath 90 year old place on a 1/10th acre) I would be out of here to a free state. Of course it was not Democrats but the Bush Crime Family that opened the borders and turned this from the land of Reagan to the land of Newsome...
