  I enjoyed my time there but I won’t move back. The state is in a meltdown phase. Too expensive, too much crime, too much everything negative.

  I was in the bay area for 12 years.

    Wow man. Oh yea I know. You’re either rich or fuckin poor in CA no middle class

    I was born and raised moved to a red state with actual decent jobs lower cost of living when I was 24 best decision I’ve ever made

    I hope you made it to red state that’s taking care of you ❤️ (As in has opportunities, jobs, low cost living, nicer ppl)

      I am in a blue state, but thinking of retiring. I am considering moving to Flordia. I am 50 and with the way the blue states want to increase taxes, it’s just better to retire and let them ponder where all the tax revenue went.
