What do you like best about the State you live in

Can't say that I blame you, not one bit. But I'm gonna go against the grain and tell you what I like about California.

I live in a small town in the far northern part of the state. Our county is a bit remote & isolated and has clean fresh air (except during wildfires) clean water, no cities, no freeways, four seasons but a mild climate. Our town got its first & only traffic light a few years back. It's just a short walk up the street to the trails that I put a few miles on nearly every morning. More likely to see wildlife than people out there. We've been here 48 years and plan to stay.

Ive been to CA a few times. Last time was 1977. I probably wouldn't recognize it politically, or physically. My maternal grandparents moved there in the late 50s from here in KY. They moved back and retired here in 1979. Even then I could tell that they were fed up with the west coast. They never went back. I have lived within 20 miles of my childhood homes my entire life. I am a hunter, fisherman and generally an outdoor person. Its hot in the summer, but not unbearable. Winters are mostly mild with a few exceptions. Politically it is a red state with a Dem governor. We do wear shoes, we do have teeth, and not everybody makes moon shine. Taxes are low, healthcare is satisfactory, and places to visit are endless. 10 hour drive to the Gulf Coast, and 12 hours to the Atlantic. Housing, yes we have houses, are cheap compared to Calif prices. My neighbors have listed their house in the high 200s with 1.5 acres. Not a great place, but a really good low crime area where we are. You just better love to mow grass.

Like Stocker says there are some good points about Kalifornia. We too are very rural by choice to separate ourselves from all that nasty stuff you see on the news. Not that it's non existent just very rare. We are too old and too entrenched to up and move so we will ride it out.

One option would be to separate yourselves from the bay area your in now, to a rural area.
The good news is Newsome terms out in 2 years, the bad news is we could get worse.
