Just think of it as unadulterated jealousy and let it roll off your back:B.
It's at least what I would do were I somehow in a similar situation;).

I moved to Los Angeles (work and weather brought me here) from Woodside, Queens about 6 years ago. Funny, I was just looking at my old building on Google on Queens Blvd and saw that they finally added a bike lane. Made me smile. About time! NYC gets picked on as well but it's also misunderstood.

Since moving to SoCal, my daughter has almost 50 Junior Ranger badges and I have a bucket list full of fabulous family memories. We're headed up to San Francisco in a few days in our RV to camp in and around the city. Muir Woods, Golden Gate NRA, Marin Headlands, Point Reyes National Seashore, Pinnacles National Park and then back down the coast through Monterey, a little bit of Big Sur, Moro Bay and more. Exceptionally lovely places. Takes some big time planning but like I said, it's worth it. :)

And I haven't even mentioned Yosemite, Lassen, Channel Islands, Death Valley, King's Canyon, Sequoias, Joshua Tree, Redwoods NP..........................

Come! Visit!

Almost bought and raised my kiddos' first NY home in Woodside; wound up in Boerum Hill, Bklyn, instead. CA remains high on my bucket list with Muir Woods being at the pinnacle:).

Wherever you are at the time and if it's not enjoyable, go someplace else..

Having lived and RV'd in Northern and Southern California, I can tell you that NO cities are RV-friendly.
I also can't think of any West Coast city that I would consider "RV-friendly".
Is there really as such thing as a RV-friendly city?
A RV-friendly town I can believe.

And California state parks overall don't have many campsites for RVs over 25ft.
Plus less than 1 percent of their campsites have any hookups.
They also cost as much as a private parking site.

I think California sux for being RV friendly with that lousy 55 MPH speed limit for anybody towing something.

If the 55 mph towing speed limit is the worst thing you can think of about taking an RV into California then it must be a pretty great state and you can't find much to complain about.

Tennessee is a pretty friendly state in general. Outside of a few areas in larger cities, local zoning is mostly pretty loose. Not a lot of areas with HOAs in small towns.

Roads are generally decent, the state park system is one of the best in the country, and in the east, there are the Cherokee National Forest, and GRSM National Park. COE campgrounds are dotted all over the state.

Boy I hate seeing New England being bunched in with Kalifornia. Gordon, I wonder if you've been to either.

Visited both enough without an RV to know I would take my tourism dollars elsewhere.

Truck and trailer parking heavily regulated, to as far as having to register with some fascist city hall to get permission to park anywhere in the town. No thanks.

I understand folks get very protective of their expensive real estate and don't want some homeless person living in a van in their front yards.
