A good friend of mine recently moved from San Luis Obispo (SLO) to Lake Travis (Austin). He is a retired Cal Poly comp. sci. professor with a couple of patents, so it was probably so he could keep more of his money. I visited him in SLO about 15 years ago and loved the place. Stosh
Then I will find it hard to hear you crowing about your desire to be there anymore. What's the old saying...a ton of knowledge but no wisdom. One afternoon in car with me and you shall have wisdom. Wisdom far beyond your beloved zip codes.
people vote with their feet. I for one have lived in 3+ yrs Ohio 3 yrs Nebraska 5 yrs Seattle 2 yrs in Austin TX 1 yr in Chicago 3 yrs in NYC metro including Manhattan 1 yr in Colorado 13(!!!!!) yrs in CA Besides that I have visited EVERY state in the Union, including Florida, which is a cheap, red-neck version of CA with hurricanes and humidity. and I only miss Seattle. The rest of the USA is a fucking DUMP(including NYC). yes I am from Budapest....
Having moving to CO from CA, 5 years now, I can't do Pacific NW. Too much freakin' gloom, clouds, and rain. I spent 2 months there as a kid during summer. The persistent drizzle in Seattle, no thanks. Portland is much worse off I hear.
I believe it was not too long ago, a certain ex president warned Californians against impeaching their former governor (Davis). If you ask me... I believe things got a bit worse with the terminator. Nevertheless .... I still love California. Nice people, the ocean, sun, and almost everthing I want in a place to be. All we need, is to put some good decision makers in Sacramento
Mountains, clean lakes, lush forests, skiing, and still enough sun to not be gloomy - Colorado is one of the most beautiful areas not just in the U.S., but the world. It's on my short list of places I'd consider living in.
So weird .... Right after my last post on California ... just over a minute later, I felt the biggest and long duration of earthquake I ever experienced.
They say it was a 5.0 with a 3.1 aftershock, but a lot of people are saying it felt much more powerful... ...stay safe.
