The problem with California, for me, is income taxes.  I wouldn't mind at all living in much of eastern California.

My wife said she did not like San Diego as a place to live, we've been there a few times for a week or so.  The part of SF where our son lives is quite nice, and his apartment is not bizarely expensive.  He's near the baseball field, a mile or so.  Still not very green.

You could stop to chew on some sugar cane.  Or pick an orange.  Or watch some good high school football.

When it comes to lists of states, you don't want to be near the top of any list headed by West Virginia.

They produce a lot of NFL talent for their size, that's for sure.

As a small note, I assume you mean more northern CA? Where’s it’s forested and such.

Just because a lot of “eastern” Ca. is hit and deserts.

The area east of San Francisco, though the north would be nice in spots as well.  I spent some time in Calaveras County and liked the area a lot.  Even nice houses were not overly expensive.

I didn't like Palm Springs further south.  You are right, eastern California is a large swath.

Out of college, I had a couple chances to live out that way, east of Palm Springs and east of Bakersfield. 

Those were not taken for various reasons. 

If I dropped you there blindfolded, you would not know you're in Florida. When people think Florida, they think of the coasts. Belle Glade is not that.

I mean, that’s how states are, right? They’re usually many things. 

Yep. I had a choice between Fort Wayne IN and San Jose CA. That was an easy decision.

If it had been between Fort Wayne and east of Bakersfield or Palm Springs, I might have taken the Fort Wayne job.

I can imagine points in my life where I’d pick Fort Wayne. 

(I also assume this was a different San Jose than the one now)
