My wife & I are counting the years till we can escape luney-tune state of California. My first choose would be Washington--still a little liberal but no income tax and close enough to drive to Portland to escape the sales tax. Also we like to grow things and the weather is conducive and few forest fire in the Western portion. Next would be Texas—even fewer liberal and no income tax. Our daughter (junior in HS) is running around the house with a U of T sweatshirt lately. Either state would be better than California and the crack heads running Sacramento.
All my neighbors (20yrs now) and I are from Cali.
Funny all from the same too.
No sales tax in Oregon but if you have half a view the property taxes can kill ya.
Those of us that built here did so without a mortgage (by the Grace of God).
Foreclosures left and right and not just to those who signed a bad deal. No jobs. And they still chose to go with Obama.
