This is precisely why I will never move back to Seattle. It's like all the bad parts of CA, but without any of the good weather or hot chicks.UW_Doog_Bot said:Being upper middle class in California is like being mid to lower-middle class most other places. I can afford to rent a decent place but I can't afford to buy one. The truly shitty part is that the state still tax me as though I was in that 95th percentile of income earners. The upside is that it's 70 degrees year round and I'm a half-mile from the beach.
I'd move back to Seattle but it sounds like they are doing their best to transform that into an extension of the bay area.

Completely agree except I don't get the ski resort thing, well except for maybe the bar with a fireplace in the ski resort thing. Skiing is kind of fun, but got tired of Stevens and Snoqualmie as a kid. Cold water blows, but so does cold weather IMHO. Sunshine and a white sandy beach on a shore with bath warm water, laced with scantily clad women who actually give a shit about how they look, lined with huts filled with ice cold beer and cocktails that could put a first avenue bum down for a week are a whole lot more appealing.PurpleThrobber said:

The Pacific is fucking cold. It's not like the Caribbean or the Gulf bath water warm with all-you-can-drink day-resorts everywhere.
And when you do go to 'the beach', you with like 12 million otherMexicansAngelinos.
Just don't get the attraction. Would much rather be near a ski resort in the winter and some boating in the summer. But 70 degrees year round is nice. No question. -
What an entitled, privileged thread.

When you're right, you're right.

Looks just like the Oregon Coast except 20 degrees warmer. Except in October and sometimes November. By far the best times to go to the OC as you can get 70 degree days . Although NYE weekend was pure bliss. I live a few miles from the beach though. And the water is actually colder in the summer than the winter most years.BearsWiin said:
My beach is 340 miles NNW of LA. We get idiot tourists from Fresno, not Angelinos. I don't get in the water, but my kids boogieboard regularly, and we know many families that surf, paddleboard, and kayak. All it takes is a wetsuit. Wife and I take the dogs down for a 2-mile walk once or twice a week, to gain some perspective. You can't put a pricetag on perspective.PurpleThrobber said:

Very few sink holes however. -
I think the key to enjoying skiing is proximity and avoiding crowds. When I lived in Utah I could duck out of work for a few hours on a powder day and have epic conditions. Here you're driving 90 to 100 minutes to get to the slopes and waiting in lines with a bunch of other assholes on the weekends. If I could live in place like Telluride, CO, I'd do it in a heart beat.Southerndawg said:

I can't live there because I hate fucking people and the traffic and crowds in Seattle make me crazy. I live on the southern edge of the greater Puget Sound clusterfuck, so I'm able to jump out to the woods, mountains, coast and rivers pretty quick. I have to venture into the rat race for work so I pay a penalty of having to commute an hour each way, but the traffic is pretty light most of the way because I go the long way through the sticks.
I couldn't deal in southern California. Everything would be cool for a while, but then I'd show up at work dressed in a Winnie the Pooh suit and packing heat. Nobody wins then.
Although I've been in LA a lot the past couple months and I get the sentiment.https://youtu.be/1kj080QCjOg

Agree completely about the Pacific for swimming, unless you are WAY south of Cali. Caribbean > US pacific coast (and Mejico for that matter) for swimming. Both nice to look at.

No $$ in row boat. She should have used her athletic connections and married a hoops guy who could make it in the LEAGUE. Then she could live wherever in the fuck she wanted, and had an affair with row boat on the side.

Unfortunately, her type is tall, slow strategy, Viking dudes, so row boat champion or bust.

If I had my druthers, I'd be in Santa Barbara or Laguna. Fuck you if you don't agree.
Of course, you like Laguna. It's where all old people from one of the Denas have historically gone to escape the heat in the summer. -

Unfortunately, her type is tall, slow strategy, Viking dudes, so row boat champion or bust.

If my wife had her druthers we'd be neighbors down there by the bay of Monterrey. Alas, her dream of living beachfront in California has not come to pass. Life ain't fair I suppose.BearsWiin said:

I think the key to enjoying skiing is proximity and avoiding crowds. When I lived in Utah I could duck out of work for a few hours on a powder day and have epic conditions. Here you're driving 90 to 100 minutes to get to the slopes and waiting in lines with a bunch of other assholes on the weekends.

Completely agree except I don't get the ski resort thing, well except for maybe the bar with a fireplace in the ski resort thing. Skiing is kind of fun, but got tired of Stevens and Snoqualmie as a kid. Cold water blows, but so does cold weather IMHO. Sunshine and a white sandy beach on a shore with bath warm water, laced with scantily clad women who actually give a shit about how they look, lined with huts filled with ice cold beer and cocktails that could put a first avenue bum down for a week are a whole lot more appealing.PurpleThrobber said:
Somebody is gonna have to explain this 'half mile to the beach' thing to the Throbber.UW_Doog_Bot said:Being upper middle class in California is like being mid to lower-middle class most other places. I can afford to rent a decent place but I can't afford to buy one. The truly shitty part is that the state still tax me as though I was in that 95th percentile of income earners. The upside is that it's 70 degrees year round and I'm a half-mile from the beach.
I'd move back to Seattle but it sounds like they are doing their best to transform that into an extension of the bay area.
The Pacific is fucking cold. It's not like the Caribbean or the Gulf bath water warm with all-you-can-drink day-resorts everywhere.
And when you do go to 'the beach', you with like 12 million otherMexicansAngelinos.
Just don't get the attraction. Would much rather be near a ski resort in the winter and some boating in the summer. But 70 degrees year round is nice. No question.
No $$ in row boat. She should have used her athletic connections and married a hoops guy who could make it in the LEAGUE. Then she could live wherever in the fuck she wanted, and had an affair with row boat on the side.
Her fault; not yours.
Your wife has unusual taste. Good for you I guess. -
Not allegedly; it's true. But we're still real pretty to look at.creepycoug said:
