I was in Idaho last year and spoke briefly with someone who was leaving Idaho for a couple of weeks to vacation in California.
I was incredulous, but didn’t say anything other than have a great trip.
Inside I was thinking why on earth would you leave this gorgeous state to visit California unless you have relatives, never been to the beach or kids begging to go to Disneyland?
Rural California might be great but I’m stuck here in the SF Bay Area.
We moved to Oregon from the Bay area almost 30 years ago, We own several commercial buildings in Marin county and the CA state board of equalization made our lives hell for several years. Our CPA solved the problem years ago and it all went away. The only time we hit CA is on the way to Texas!
