I’d like to at least have a second home in florida in 10 years or so. Maybe even move there but I don’t know it I could take the climate full time. If I had to choose 100% of the time, actually prefer our weather still.

As liberal as CA is, there ain’t no better weather than Southern CA and the Bay Area. NYC has become the center of the left in the US anyway. CA isn’t even that bad. Not sure if you’ve visited lately but spend a month there and you’ll see how retarded NYC has become even when compared to CA. I laid out in another thread how NYC spends 400% more than LA per resident and NY spends 300% more per resident than CA. That’s all you need to know.

There’s no place I’d retire to in the US other than CA. Ridiculous weather. Ridiculous scenery and nature. Some of the freshest produce in all of the US. Excellent Mexican and Asian food on the cheap.

Best of all if you have a bit of cash, you can avoid the bad elements entirely. Even if you have a lot of cash in NYC, you can’t avoid the bad elements at all.

I have no interest in California because of their gun nonsense. Far worse than here.

Just live or get a residence in a more rural county. It’s a big state and they vote more R than NY or Nj.

Yeah, that may be, but the problem is the same as in NY. The very large, geographically, but not densely populated rural areas may be conservative, and vote conservative, but they're overridden by the smaller, but more densely populated urban areas, which vote liberal, and stick the entire state with liberal policies...........

No shot. I’d rather move back to NY (and may do that once the kids are grown). I love upstate NY, especially the Adirondacks. In New York my pension is tax free, my benefits are easy to use, and I am exempt from any gun laws that manage to survive all the current challenges.

Have to agree. Driven all across the country and there are many great states. California is one of the better ones. Plenty of space to get away from the crowds and politics. Scenery is beautiful.
