Can you completely escape that hellhole, known as SanFranSicko?
We could, but we’ve been in our house for 40 years next month and I like our neighbors and neighborhood. I really enjoy getting back there around January for four or five months, then coming back to Idaho
My wife has so had it with CA that she refuses to go back and has made Idaho her full-time home. She loves the winter and skiing. She grew up in the Bay Area so I think winter is still a bit of a novelty to her. She’s been through three winters here and so far loves it. I spent my first 21 years in snowy wintry territory and that’s a big reason I landed in CA after college.
But the nuttiness is growing every day with the push for reparations, charging for utilities based on your income, “free” health care for all illegal invaders, loss of our R1 residential zoning, etc and the time may soon be approaching where even I say “enough is enough.”
This past winter was weird, too. The Bay area was only 5 to 10 degrees warmer than Idaho, but the eleven “atmospheric rivers” kept blasting the area with cold rain and fierce winds. I went through five of the eleven and they were brutal. So there really wan’t much weather difference between ID and CA this past winter.
