The lower Puget Sound is beautiful country. No question. Kind of damp and gloomy a lot of the year but there are people that like that. I did for a long timedflea said:"Man, you can't tell me you wouldn't rather live in Shelton.'

I like the south Puget Sound area. It's about as good as it gets for outdoor recreation, and the weather isn't too fucked if you can tolerate the rain.RaceBannon said:

The above is not an endorsement for living in Shelton. -
The Southern California foothills and mountains are as appealing as the coastline, IMO. In either case, you can’t wing it because you will get overwhelmed by traffic, parking, crowds and idiots if you haven’t planned out exactly what you want to do or experience.Southerndawg said:In addition to getting hot as hell in the summer, Pasadena can get very smoggy. Agree on the classic homes, but not a fan. Love the coastline in Southern California, but IMO, the inland areas suck until you get a fair distance north or south of LA.

It's a beautiful state, with outstanding weather. The San Gabriels are nice, one of my dads was a big fan, but IMO, the mountains are much more impressive in northern California, and nearly the entire California coastline is gorgeous from Crescent City to San Diego. At my age, I have no interest in living in or around LA. Places like Pismo Beach/SLO are more my speed.CirrhosisDawg said:

Elimination of the estate tax means you can throw this into a Perpetual Trust tax free keeping it within your Caste forever!BearsWiin said:

It's crazy to me how much extra people will pay to just exist somewhere. Most people don't take advantage of the local scenery or events. They get up, go to work, come home, eat, and watch Netflix until they pass out. On Saturday they lay around all day and might go do a little something that night then spend Sunday getting ready for the week.Swaye said:
When I retired from the Navy I was living in Maryland and became a resident. I owned a small townhouse at the time. I got a letter in the mail telling me that the local county government had just determined the square footage of my roof for a new rain tax that had been passed. I thought it was a joke. Turns out it wasn't. They wanted about 200 bucks a year for the only rainwater runoff tax in the United States. Maryland, being a land of leftists, already had some of the most absurd taxes ever, but taxing rain took the cake. I moved to Virginia 6 months later. No tax on rain here. Will these idiots never learn? People leave when you tax the absolute shit out of them for useless feel good crap.oregonblitzkrieg said:They should be taxed for every piece of toilet paper they use, and made to account for each seperate piece. Tax them every time they drink a glass of water. Tax them every time they eat a sandwich. Tax them for every breath they take.

You really need to spend $500k on an 800sq ft condo to do that? Not to mention the tax ass fucking they get on top of it.

I don't need to go to the beach every day to get the benefits of living next to it. Never too hot, never too cold, laid-back ultra-bluestate surfer hippie culture with a bunch of tech mixed in, million-dollar price tags keep out the riffraff. I've lived elsewhere. Never again. -
Since you ride a skateboard you don't have to worry about the ridiculous vehicle registration rates. I just don't understand how you live in your parents basement in a state where basements are not common.CirrhosisDawg said:

There's only one thing from California that I give a fuck about:
Technically, I guess that's two things from California that I give a fuck about. -
