“MOVE, Y’ALL! There is a whole great big world outside of Southern California.”
Having been to most of the country being an aircraft owner I haven’t foung any place in the US I would consider living in outside of Southern California at any price!!!
My wife and I are both 5th generation Southern Californians and will do anything necessary to die here!
I know what you’re saying. I, too, LOVE California. And if I could have afforded it, I would have stayed. But I couldn’t afford it.
It’s great if you have money. It does feel like vacation. Until you lose your job, or have a legal problem, or get divorced, or have medical bills, or...... I opted for a slower, easier and MUCH more secure existence. Probably wouldn’t have done it at 30, but at 50 it just felt right. And I haven’t regretted it for a minute. LA is only 5 hours away.
