Thank you. True Northern California is quite beautiful, we'll be 250 miles north of San Francisco, almost Oregon.

If you make pay check scale income CA pays for your health insurance and has tax credits.

If you earn a generous salary you pay high sales taxes, income taxes, and property taxes. I have three friends that moved out of state to avoid that. I went to Vegas last month off the beaten path and the growth is astounding.

It extends miles to every direction of the strip and notably a whole bunch to the west and south. They are paving the desert. If you go to Vegas go on the stratosphere, sit and have a cold drink for an hour and look out in spiral distances to get an idea of scale.

[We're moving to a little fishing and logging town far north of all that. Oregon is less than an hour north of where we'll be.

Great you sold the house.

I gotta ask this though....being in No-Cal you get all the negatives of the high taxes, enviro-whacko-ness, and over-regulation California has to offer, but none of the benefits of So-Cal like great year-round weather.

WHAT is the upside ?

Uhhhhhh....I don't see that as ANY upside whatsoever.
High taxes, over regulation, enviro-whackos, and lousy (cold) winters.....YECHHHHHH.
