Stumbled across these forums so I thought I would join. And no, I'm not leaving California even though sometimes I wish I would! :roll:

Hey, I'm from Cali too!!!
Great climate, great natural beauty, great state..... except for that pesky lack of water.
Which state would be better?
Welcome to the forum.
 
Thanks. I don't know, but somewhere west of the Mississippi. Lot of nice states between California and the Mississippi.

Why not leave if you want to?

Why would you ever want to leave California? The greatest state in the nation?

Like Where? I can't think of anywhere between California and the Mississippi that I would even consider moving to. I might (MIGHT) consider moving to Oregon or Washington....Hawaii.....maybe even Chicago, but never to any of the fly-over states.

Some of us are mighty happy that there are folks that think the same way as you in California. Honestly, as a Golden Son myself, you haven't a clue what you're missing.

And welcome sittingduck.

I have traveled extensively throughout Oregon....so I know full well what "I'm missing". Oregon is a beautiful state. The Portland area and suburbs are a great city. I especially love the Seaside/Cannon beach area. Traveling the California Coast up through the Oregon Coast is probably some of the most scenic beauty in the country. Portland has a lot of great brewpubs and I love craft beer. The politics of the state are great. The ONLY issue that I have with Oregon is that its a little too cold and rainy for my tastes....but I conceivably would consider Oregon in a decade when I'm considering retirement.

Oregon is great. I lived in Portland, Corvallis and we have a vacation cabin on the seaside cliffs in Lincoln Beach... Oregon is amazing both sides of the Cascades.

Welcome aboard. I grew up in San Diego. California is the most beautiful state in the union, but politics has spoiled it somewhat. I now live in Ohio, and like it very much. But if I had my druthers, I'd be living in a wilderness area of the Sierra Nevada. :)
 
Countryboy, that's where we are now. Ohio would be nice though I think. Love it up here in the Sierras. Yeah, politics has messed up California no doubt, but we do pretty much anything we want up in the mountains anyway. Laws and politics don't apply to us. :)

I live in the Sierra foothills! So hi, neighbor. :lol:
 
I lived the first five years of my life in a logging camp on the flanks of Mount Lassen miles and miles away from any paved road.

It's been all downhill from there.
