I live in the Sierra Foothills in California. I've been told by local realtors that the Bay Area bubble is over and sellers are having to cut their asking prices by $100,000. At the same time, city dwellers and valley people are coming up my way. Inventory is very low and prices are rising.

We'd like to bolt someday to a lower taxed area with decent weather....any ideas?

If you're looking for low property taxes, it's hard to beat New Mexico, although their state income taxes are very high.

I've considered buying some land in northern New Mexico, but am a little reluctant because of the immigration problems out there.

I'd sure leave California. Not really...depends on what you do for a living. Housing prices VERY reasonable if you take your time in Middle Tennessee. However, getting a job is nearly impossible...thus the lower prices. Same thing in rural Mississippi. Where a job market exists, housing is disproportionately higher. Real estate agents may be a large part of the problem (flame shields up).

Frankly, we midwesterners are concerned about all you californians going east. We don't mind the conservatives, but is there any way we can keep the liberals on the left coast?

I'm thinking maybe a civics test, or something.

You want low taxes, good weather year round, no ice, snow, or brutal humidity and heat, tornados, etc?

I don't have a clue where that would be, but I'll tell you, if you find it, it's going to be extremely crowded, and expensive!......Hehehe......

Why Wyoming taxes low no snow men are men and so are some of the women.

Well,how about a doublewide with a nice new workshop on 7 acres on a island,about 3 miles in a straight line from the Atlantic Ocean. I've been thinking seriously about selling my place and hitting the road again.
