I'm here Bumpy.... Raising my hand up high!!!! :C

Yes, everything in California costs more, but, the weather is beautiful in the desert from October through May..... 350-360 days of sunshine!

In the summer, it's only about 130 miles to the ocean, 75 miles to Lake Arrowhead and Big Bear Lake. Within 150 miles, you can have beautiful weather anytime of the year. Joshua Tree National Park is about 60 miles east.

Even further north, the Sequoia National Park and Yosemite National Park.

California is such a large state, it has everything you need from desert to forrest and everything inbetween!:D

Safe travels,
MM.

wrong, the issue isn't whether CA is a great place to live. this discussion is in the taxation issues you folks have. if you want your income tax to pay millions to small town mayors/et.al. and to pay for illegal aliens health coverage, go for it.

You're right on this one Bumpy. The Taxes are not high here because of the nice weather. They are high because of the way our politicians spend the money. If they gave me the veto pen and allowed me to cut the waste out of government, I could fix the problem and be able to cut taxes here in half or more and we'd still have the nice weather. But if I ran for governor under that theory, I'd get about 12 votes in this state.

I have done well here in California and continue to survive
in a 'high tax' state.

No matter what we think about the politicians we must keep
an eye on economics.

Here is a link to a very interesting article regarding
deep tax cuts.
