We're Leaving California! Which Western State is Best? (Vanity)

I just had a VERY conservative friend move from CA to Prescott, AZ.

[Bonemaker]

“Mississippi?

Its been called California for the poor man.”

Not the west but Gulf Coast is very nice.

[Openurmind]

Believe it or not, unlike what the movies display, we have mountains in Az. We can go snow skiing every year!

[Bonemaker]

“Western Oregon. Amen to that.”

Like Portland? Are you kidding?

Reno gets my vote, Mariner. The Wife doesn't like the tiny bit of snow it gets, but she could live with it and is coming around. I can't live with the furnace that is So. AZ.

BTW, I used to own part of a nightclub in Reno called, American Bandstand. I use to be up there all the time in in the late 90's.

Yeah, I here housing costs are going up in Reno, but sure we could make it work since we would be downsizing anyway. Thanks for your input.

Prescott is a very nice microclimate! Not too hot... Not too cold. :)

[Mr.Unique]

My conservative bona fides can be verified by the owner of this site.

I'll trust you on that. Who can vouch for your reading comprehension?

Settle down.

You could try Killeen. Military town (Ft. Hood). A lot of new housing going in. A manageable drive to Austin and Houston if you need specialized medical care. Right on the edge of the Hill Country. Still solidly red - tipped the election for Congressman John Carter (TX-31) when Williamson County went blue.

“Western Washington.”

Seattle...theres a plan. How about Spokane.

[Nakota]

Look at the Dakotas before you make a final decision. Both are conservative and likely to stay that way.

Twenty years ago I would have said Colorado but since then it has been infested with Californians.

[IndispensableDestiny]

Northern Uruguay.

Thanks for the reply, and yes I’ve done some homework on a few locations. I’ve even contacted a couple out state Realtors. I posted this vanity looking for personal experiences.

[A Navy Vet]

Too far, but thank you.

[A Navy Vet]

Thank you for the reply, but too far for our family needs.

[Jane Long]

What about Prescott....somewhere between the hot desert and snowy mountains? It the weather there pretty mild?

[Disambiguator]

Idaho.

[Leep]

It is.
Spent some time there before and after Katrina.

[A Navy Vet]

"I’d tell you “Idaho,” but, if you came here, you’d be surrounded by ex-Californians. So, no, it’s not Idaho. Don’t even put it on your list. Awful place."

Wow, first time I heard that. Californians are ruining everywhere they go. Being hard core conservatives and Constitution advocates, we would be an addition.

[Nifster]

Guess you’re left with Idaho or Wyoming
