I started asking about places to live in Cali in jibber jabber , so i figured I'd start a thread.
I'm sick of winters, no.... I'm FUCKING SICK OF WINTERS!
I think I've reached my breaking point, I fucked my back up last Sunday, the first time it snowed, only 4", took me almost 6 hours to do clean up, total bullshit. I've been in a depressed mood for weeks. I'm a miserable fucking prick once it gets cold out, a hermit from December till April, and I'm getting sick of living like this. I can't play with my cars when everything's covered in snow/ ice/ sand/ salt, I can't go fishing( ok I WON'T go fucking ice fishing..
), hiking in the snow? Fuck that! I don't even want to hang outside around a bonfire in this weather anymore. My cars rusty away from the bottom because of road treatment. Commute times double because of flurries. Paying to just keep my house comfortable when it's 20 out for 2 months is getting too fucking expensive. I can't garden for almost half the year. Bitch, bitch, whine, whine... poor me.
In the last few weeks I've, randomly, heard a few people say to do what you want in life to be happy, then my best friend was asking why I stick around if I'm so miserable and everything kinda clicked, I need to go. I'm single, no kids, no financial responsibilities and have some savings. I'm currently unemployed and should be for the foreseeable future. Seems like the next year or so would be the best time to pull the trigger. I have a friend that wants to move back to Cali, so i might have a roommate already, makes things a little easier. I'm spitballing here. Things I want:
Number 1, obviously, no more winter. Occasional light snow is fine. I'd like to keep temps above 40, for the most part. Im thinking below the 38th parallel would work.
The less people the better, but I don't want to be hours drive from basic services (food, gas, hospitals, etc)
I'd like to be around, within an hour or so, good off roading/ OHV parks and racetracks (drag and autocross).
I need a garage, so I'd probably be looking to buy property, but that's not 100%. I could end up renting for awhile to get established.
Pot laws aren't a concern, unlike every other "I'm moving" thread..lol.
I'll add more ad I think of it.
In a perfect world I'd live on 20 acres of redwoods in the San Lorenzo Valley. But that's me.
