Hi gang,
I'm looking for anyone who can advise me about living and flying in
the Santa Barbara, CA area. I'll be retiring in May and have been
considering southern Cal for several years.
I would love to talk to anyone who has lived and flown in the SB area.

Seems like an expensive place to retire to, and now that CA is
"broke"....but it's probably is a bit warmer than PA  Have you
checked into New Mexico? A bit desolate, but things seemed pretty
cheap, leaving more money for RVing. Do not archive.

Coastal Southern CA is really nice. Suggest you try it out and see if it's to your liking. Cost of living is a factor, of course, but if you can swing it go for it. This just may be the time to buy???
Many airports, friendly pilots, a multitude of servfces available, great weather, lots to see and do. Life is short, do what suits you and your family.

If you like taxes, come on over. Weather is nice, but taxes are hell here and going up…way up. You get taxed on everything here in CA --- airplanes (1% of the County’s appraised value), hangers (1% again, even a rental hanger here in Santa Barbara County at Santa Maria Airport SMX), personal property (1%), real property (1% again), sales tax 7 ľ% to 9 ˝% depending on the county, and the biggest one, State income tax and capital gains tax, roughly 8% to 15%. I repossessed a RV9A that I built’ from a friend who couldn’t keep up with the payments and the California State Board of Equalization (California’s IRS) is after me for sales tax!!! It’s actually worse than the California liberal media will report. Roads are terrible, medical services are overrun with illegal’s, school class sizes are increasing, and neighborhoods gangs are taking over. In all, the quality of life here on the Central Coast is declining rapidly and steadily, and probably statewide also. Weather is the only constant.
I’m a native Californian, but we’re leaving California in the next year probably for Nevada (no income tax) or Oregon (no sales tax). California can replace me and my wife with an illegal Mexican couple. Adios.
PS My hanger and home will be for sale. If intereted, contact me by email, chuck(at)chuckdirect.com

Indeed. I live near Sacramento, and it’s a good life in spite of all the
doom and gloom news, much of which is exaggerated. If you have the money
(Santa Barbara IS expensive to live) it's a great place to live, though I
can't give you specific info. Sounds like you have a reason to consider SB,
maybe you've spent some time there before.

So Ralph, how you doing with all those state taxes? What did you pay for
sales taxes on the RV9A after you put your blood sweat and tears (and labors
of love)into your very own creation? What do you pay for hanger rent and/or
hanger taxes? What's your annual home property taxes (Prop13: One percent
of the sales price or County assessed value, whichever is HIGHER)?
We pay exorbitant annual DMV fees here in California. An example: I drive
a ten year old Ford Taurus and my fees went up $18 dollars this year to
$108. Not down as it should have; and for a ten year old car! SUV'S
commonly see $300 to $500 annual DMV fees! And what are we doing with all
the taxes (and more to come)? The DMV funds have been hijacked from the
highway fund and redirected into the general fund. The California welfare
system is now five times larger than New York's, we are now the largest
welfare system in the nation by far! And our roads are an embarrassment
with potholes galore, even on the Federal Freeway System!
In short, how do you feel about all the taxes with little or no benefit
except to the California welfare programs (including illegals)? Nothing has
been exaggerated. You've been reading/listening to too much liberal news
(which is about all we've got here in CA)...and believing it apparently my
RV9A brother. It's going to get even worse!

At least I don't mind turning off the tv to avoid the media. I don't want to unsubscribe from this list too. With all due respect, can you please take the political rants offline? I subscribe to escape all that nonsense as much as possible.

Heck I think it is RV related also. The price of operating a RV here in SoCal - well OK California. I can retire in 4 years and thinking Texas (lived there for a while way back) might get me more RV fun for the money  All this info relates to the operation of RV's IMHO.

OK, for all you guys that can’t afford California:
Delete yourselves from the state, and leave.
Quit whining about it here. Pretty simple I think.
Me, I can afford it, and my RV build, and my current certificated airplane, thank you very much. So I’ll stay.

Ok, I'll stir up the pot. I have lived in South Central TX forever and would like to retire soon. Since we listers are scattered all over the place, how about some discussion on a good place to retire with one's RV? I'll start by saying that here in the San Antonio area, the cost of living is moderate, the weather is mostly vfr, there is a moderate amount of flying activity, avgas is lower than most places and the summers are awfully long, hot and humid. Any suggestions on where to retire that include all of the above except the last?

Just about anywhere in New Mexico, Arizona or Nevada. I don't know
about New Mexico and AZ but at least Nevada has $0 state income tax like
we have here in TX..

place, how about some discussion on a good place to retire with one's
RV? I'll start by saying that here in the San Antonio area, the cost
of living is moderate, the weather is mostly vfr, there is a moderate
amount of flying activity, avgas is lower than most places and the
summers are awfully long, hot and humid. Any suggestions on where to
retire that include all of the above except the last?

I recommend Minnesota. Winter flying is great. And you can drive to oshkosh. What else does anyone need? (g)

Heck I think it is RV related also. The price of operating a RV here in SoCal - well OK California. I can retire in 4 years and thinking Texas (lived there for a while way back) might get me more RV fun for the money All this info relates to the operation of RV's IMHO.

Please, use your delete key instead of trying to censor the list. This subject is very important to some of us, and it is definitely RV related.

At least I don't mind turning off the tv to avoid the media. I don't want to unsubscribe from this list too. With all due respect, can you please take the political rants offline? I subscribe to escape all that nonsense as much as possible.

So Ralph, how you doing with all those state taxes? What did you pay for
sales taxes on the RV9A after you put your blood sweat and tears (and labors
of love)into your very own creation? What do you pay for hanger rent and/or
hanger taxes? What's your annual home property taxes (Prop13: One percent
of the sales price or County assessed value, whichever is HIGHER)?
We pay exorbitant annual DMV fees here in California. An example: I drive
a ten year old Ford Taurus and my fees went up $18 dollars this year to
$108. Not down as it should have; and for a ten year old car! SUV'S
commonly see $300 to $500 annual DMV fees! And what are we doing with all
the taxes (and more to come)? The DMV funds have been hijacked from the
highway fund and redirected into the general fund. The California welfare
system is now five times larger than New York's, we are now the largest
welfare system in the nation by far! And our roads are an embarrassment
with potholes galore, even on the Federal Freeway System!
In short, how do you feel about all the taxes with little or no benefit
except to the California welfare programs (including illegals)? Nothing has
been exaggerated. You've been reading/listening to too much liberal news
(which is about all we've got here in CA)...and believing it apparently my
RV9A brother. It's going to get even worse!
