O/T Who used to live in Calif?

Anne, my wife, was down in your sucky San Diego beach area last week, for a photo shoot. Now she's hinting at a vacation there next year. We won't tell anyone else how nice it is down there. I'll guess we're going to "Sucky Town"

 

I'll take pine trees over smog (and the laws that come with it) every time. And that goes for your sales tax, too!

 

I lived in California from 1957 till 2005. I hope I never have to go back to that overcrowded, crime infested, smoggy, socialist, excuse for a state again. And to those that think cold is bad, I can always put more on, but when its 120F well.....

 

Just curious who used to live here, not your view of the place. Thanks.

 

Mike I just moved to Iowa last year from Brea-We loved it there-I learned to ride my Night Train in the canyon just up the road from you-We miss it-could get to the beach or the desert pretty quickly!

 

Lived here just outside Sacramento for the last 19 years. Lots of sunny days. I took a 100 mile motorcycle ride on saterday and it was beautiful out. Clear skys. I would like to move somewhere that wasnt full of so many liberals, but everything else is great. Lots of sunny days, And you can buy a 3 bedroom house in a decent area for 140,000 now!

 

Come on I've got a nice house all picked out for you..... sure there's snow and ice and humidity but a lot of car guys here.
Yes I miss California but!!!

Grew up in the Puget Sound area (Puyallup). Have lived in California off & on since 1972, left the state for different jobs over the years, but have always returned! Now that I'm retired, I can travel anywhere I desire, but this will always be home!

 

I was stationed at Norton Air Force Base back in the 80's....
