The house I live in now is worth over million for sure.
I'm like Magnum PI living in the guest house.

Mountains, deserts, hiking, biking are all available anywhere else in the American West. With a house to go home to that costs half of what it does here, with gas that costs half, with less of a tax burden, and a job that pays less, yes, but not so much less that you don't feel the sting of cost of livingAnd we have mountains, deserts, snowboarding, hiking, biking, etc.
It doesn't rain constantly or inflict massive humidity to the point where it's not even fun to go outside and partake in those activities. There's a reason a lot of people's daily delight in those other areas is mowing their lawn.
Traffic is bad but it's ephemeral. I surf alone the vast majority of the time. I moved to a place that had good schools, minimal crime (mostly punk kids coming from the $2-20M home areas), and virtually no homeless issues. So yeah, not experiencing any said dumpster fire.
If you're experiencing huge downsides to living in Southern California that make it not worth living here, that reflects the choices you made.
I might suggest a winter in North Dakota or Indiana to realign your perspective.
I'll take him in if he takes care of my trees.Bigger question is will Fecal let you have him? Can we livestream the catfight here?
Yeah, I'm about to be real pessimistic for a few days when my mortgage payment goes through. For what I own and what I paid (nowhere near being worth a million though) it would give a lot of you an aneurysm.Grass is greener I guess.
Then again, I just paid my mortgage online so that will give you the attitude I have
That Euc has gotta go firstI'll take him in if he takes care of my trees.
All trees matter.
It's not about the cost, it's about the value.You can justify it to yourself all day long, and honestly I'm 90% not going anywhere, but that's not going to change the fact, not opinion, that it is too expensive here
Guess what, I found out that the area behind my fence where the eucalyptus trees used to be, before HOA cut them down, belongs to me.That Euc has gotta go first
How are you going to be able to handle being so far away from GromsDad?
Or is ifallalot your new crush?

What about family?There's no reason to live in CA unless you surf.
I know surfers who live in California and don’t surf in California. They surf in Indo and snowboard Utah. Their rapidly appreciating homes and businesses are in CaliforniaThere's no reason to live in CA unless you surf.
There really are much more desirable areas to live.
The areas west of the Dakotas are the only areas of this USA that hold any interest to me.
Not year round though. You don't have to remote start your car here because you'll freeze to death while waiting for it to warm up. You don't have to shovel snow. You don't have to worry about your pipes freezing. And so much other bullshit.Mountains, deserts, hiking, biking are all available anywhere else in the American West. With a house to go home to that costs half of what it does here, with gas that costs half, with less of a tax burden, and a job that pays less, yes, but not so much less that you don't feel the sting of cost of living
And the downsides aren't just in Southern California where I live now or where I used to live. They're in all of California in every region.
You can justify it to yourself all day long, and honestly I'm 90% not going anywhere, but that's not going to change the fact, not opinion, that it is too expensive here
I'd imagine it involves an ilking with Marie Antoinette.Can we just cut to the "gotcha"?
you should gtfoThere's probably a bunch on here- guys that are older or inherited something that their parents owned that's now worth a million solely due to California's insanely inflated real estate market
It's simply not worth it to live here
I strongly disagree and surprised anyone would think this.There's no reason to live in CA unless you surf
Bonzer5Fin should serenade him with an invitation to spend a Holiday in Cambodia.you should gtfo
