I just turned down a tasty job offer (nope, I’m fully employed now, but this was technically tempting) in San Diego.
I would not consider it. Even with a substantial raise in salary, I would be left with little, if any, extra funds for myself. So, more work and perhaps more fun - in order to feed the illegals and unions?
No thanks.
Your federal tax money also goes to unions and illegals. The state politicians in Cal are of course corrupt and inept or one or the other. We now have a top state tax of just under 11%. Sales tax over 8 in most couties. Other than that San Diego is a great place to live. Lot’s of active duty and retired military.
