IDK How You People Do It

Born and raised here. Lived in the mountains near Arrowhead my whole childhood. It was an amazing place as a kid with good weather year round and super safe. Live in Riverside now. I would love to sprout wings and move somewhere else just for a change of scenery. I am encouraging my kids (we have 4 of them) to move east to a conservative state. Our area is pretty conservative and like minded. It really is a pretty amazing state. We have it all. In my line of work (public safety) this state is by far the best. I don’t have to drive the freeways every day to get to work, I NEVER go to LA, stay out of the areas riddled with homeless, and have a great community of people around us. We go to a great church and have the kids in private school so no dealing with the BS trans junk or crazy lib teachers. We will end up settling in retirement as close as possible to where the kids settle so who knows. But in the meantime we have learned to accept our current situation and make the best of it. We have it far better than a lot of other places. Sacramento just sucks and is run by idiots but all we can do is keep voting conservative, and pray for a turn around. This last election was the most red we have ever seen on a map of our state. There is hope! BIANCO 2026!
If you can remain in a bubble / your own environment like you describe and look at all the Taxes and Overcharging as a Weather Tax......It is a lot easier to deal with......I travel for work,....my wife and kids are in the bubble so their opinion is much different than mine.......

If I had the $$$ and could be more set in one place...I would deal with it better.

I love California....I look at it as the white Lambo that Leonardo Dicapro is driving in that scene of the Wolf of Walstreet.........EXCEPT the car represents a BEAUTIFUL California and Newscum is the driver bouncing it off telephone poles and crashing into anything in sight destroying it as it goes down the road.

a guy at work went to cali for a funeral. he's at a stop light and dude walks up with a 5 gallon bucket, so he thought the guy was asking for money.
NOPE, dude drops his pants and chits in the bucket, right next to his car in the median. Charlie said I damn near passed out! I think he was in the sacremento area lol.

The Homless Vagrents have given a whole new meaning to the "Golden" part of the Golden State!....You can smell the "Golden" stench in the streets everywhere !!!
 
Its great that you are still happy with the Golden State after many of the top tax bracket and middle class are leaving for a new start in places without all the homeless corruption and corrupt Sacramento politics. I truely believe the people remaining are going to be either low income and Very High income absorbing the taxes to pay for all the waste...... Finding that balance you have acheived is a tolerance I struggle with.

Living well is the best revenge. I wish I could accept it that good........For me,.....if my wife agrees.....I want Idaho Falls ,,,,,,Ill miss a lot of stuff but I think so many things about California are getting harder to deal with depending of the doses you are exposed to on a daily basi

Haha….. perfect way to describe it. We have all the potential to be the greatest state, but Newscum is doing his best to ruin it. He ruined San Fran, Ca, and now going to try and ruin the country. Real winner he is….
 
Ca is a shithole and getting worse. The Democrats own this entirely on their own. That guy in the tesla that was beating up drivers.....got 5 yrs out in 1 only to do it again in Hawaii. YOU are not safe in CA. If the criminals don't get you the system will. Hit me up next year when the gas hits $7 or $8 a gallon....and the economy evaporates and the Millions of trash people in this state go crazy. I fear I've missed the boat on selling and moving....I will likely have to live in a shitbox house just to get out of this state.

The tax base is fleeing this state in droves....it won't be long until the scale just falls over and anybody with income will be paying most of it to CA to keep the ponzy scheme going.
 
Living in Cali is like cooking lobster. They just turn up the heat slowly and by the time we notice, it’s too late.
 
People visit the state and then complain about how much they don't like it and don't understand how people can live here. It's easy to live here, and gets better as all the cry babies leave.
So were any of my observations inaccurate? Road conditions, traffic and the like? Sorry if I touched a nerve. Glad you like it here.
 
I think I’m going to drive back thru Nevada. It adds about 2 hours but hopefully no traffic. Even if it is 2 hours longer it has to better than I-5 and worth the extra time. And if Glamis is a bust due to wind or whatever maybe I’ll leave early and detour to Sand Mountain to check it out and buzz around a bit.
You would be better served going to Dumont than Sand Mountain. Leave there through Pahrump and take 95 North.

Is that based on quality of dunes? Sand Mountain is closer to my route I believe and have a friend that will meet me there so I’m not duning alone

Dumont is bigger and better dunes IMO. I also believe it's less out of your way than Sand Mtn.
