I spent most of my 45 year Navy/defense contractor career in CA – Lemoore, Monterey, Alameda, China Lake, Pt. Mugu, San Pedro, Sunnyvale, Lancaster and finally back to China Lake. In a broad sense, there are at least three different California’s – the Bay Area with all its fruits and nuts, LA and all its LA people, and the rest of the state where normality seems to increase the further inland you go.  

   

Move to the High Desert – or somewhere east of the Sierra. You’ll find the state ungovernable, but at least you’ll appreciate the scenery and your neighbors.

I moved to California from Pennsylvania 26.5 years ago.



Having been to all 50 states and several times to Canada, I can say that SoCAL has the best weather in the North America.



Real Estate prices are about 8 to 10 times what they were in Pennsylvania. Taxes are 4 times more.  IMHO, there are too many people.



I can retire in 2.5 years.  I am ready to concede to the RATS and say that the RATS won the Rat Race.  I plan to move out of the People's Socialists Republic Of California so some place where the pace of life is MUCH slower and my money goes farther.



I will be giving up the best weather in the Country, good flying, some of the best friends one can have, and the convenience of anything one could want within a two hour drive.  (IF you are willing to wait in line and pay the price.)



The cost of living is too high for me for what I am getting. I will need to give up a LOT but I believe that the extra money I have to spend will more than pay for it.

I agree with 'too many people'.  Which makes me wonder why .... in light 
	


of the first two.
