My daughter and her husband just left Warner, moved out of Studio City and found equal paying jobs in Phoenix for a fraction of the cost of living.
They were avid hikers and mountain bikers. Sure, there were trails there, but they are all over the place and easy to get to now.
Oh, and the difference in property taxes, hahahahahaha!
Good for them. And it’s good for Arizona to welcome good people.
I moved out of LA about three and a half years ago. The taxes and cost of living were astronomical compared to where I live now. I live in the southwest suburbs of Chicago, still high but nowhere near what I was paying in LA.
