I’d love South Carolina I think but not confident in the job market. I think Texas or Tennessee would be most likely. I’d want someplace where I could meet a more traditional minded woman to marry(took me a couple decades to find in LA) and an income that could support us with only me working. Living super frugally would be fine.
It's pretty well documented in the documentary called "First to Worst", which somehow is not showing up in search engines,
Also, Tennessee is being overrun by out of state transplants. Native Tennesseeans are leaving because they're driving up the prices.

Don't get married. Do the Goldie Hawn-Kurt Russel thing. Make legal documents saying you'll give her XYZ if you die or leave after being together X many years. Buy her a nice ring... but don't get married.
DO NOT get married.
One more time, have kids if you want, but DO NOT GET MARRIED.

@ad That's all a direct and inevitable result of Prop 13. It's pretty well documented in the documentary called "First to Worst", which somehow is not showing up in search engines, lol.
"First to Worst",
Proposition 13, the 1978 anti-tax law (still in effect) that froze property taxes on businesses and homes and, critics say, cut funding for public schools off at the knees.
Despite California spending is in the top half of the USA, it is still ranked at the bottom for public K-12. Why is that ?

Illegals and thier offspring.

Thank you RC2006 with having the courage to admit this, while some here refuse to admit about California, either because they are too afraid or too Woke (blue pilled).

I'm one of those out-of-state transplants lol. I LOVE IT HERE!

Patrick, yes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1978_California_Proposition_13
However I am referring to the rankings going back around 1997. Prop 13 was enacted around 1978. You can pin this on Prop 13 for the main cause for the drop in California's public K-12 rankings from within the top 10 to a current ranking of 40.
When my cousin Margaret and her husband Bent Davies were in their late 50's and had been in their home about 20 years. Whatever else its problems, it kept their taxes from going from something like $1,500 to $7,500, which would have meant the loss of their home. It is true that a subsequent buyer would not have been protected, but that was beside the point.

the alienation, the aggressive entitlement, the daily, self centered smug narcissism, the litigiousness, the raw, bloody competition for overpriced crap, the high fences, the proliferating squalorous homeless and third worlders, the raving KommieKunt deluded apparatchiks, ... the lousy schools full of idiotic perverts
paying more and more for corrupt bureaucracies for less and less results in governance and infrastructures,
If you like CA 1978 prop 13, you also must be liking Ponzi scheme. If you wanted to be fair, ask for low and uniform tax for everyone who lives in their primary home. It’s even more fair to propose more taxes for business and RE investments who are more “tax efficient”.
Why do you stay here?
So far we are paid in, and we have to weigh the disruptions of moving with the escape from Californication. We are debt free, have paid off homes with prop. 13, don't have to scramble for mortgages, have lots of free time to time our travels, don't have to worry about work to make a living, commutes during peak times etc. etc. In other words, minimize 80-90 percent of the hassles of the State.
We almost pulled the trigger to leave during the horrible smoke years, but a couple of years of nice weather has made us lazy again.
I think most of you know how stupid your state looks, but as an outsider it looks like retardation
No one wants to move there anymore.
Not that you guys made the policy, but outside of CA's natural beauty it's the laughing stock of the country. No one wants to move there anymore.

True enough - all this natural beauty comes with a price of massive retardation.
But Illinois is certainly in the top 3 or the laughing stock category and has terrible weather most of the year. Who wants to move there these days?

I like FL, but hurricanes can eat horse cock. I ain't dealing with that shit every fall.
Saw this dude wearing this shirt at Pizza Port last night.
And if you do get legally married, have the marriage certificate recorded in Alabama. The state is of right mind enough to have pulled itself out of the marriage contract in 2019, and so far is the only state to do so that I know of. You do not sign a marriage license and ask for permission to marry in Alabama, you just create a marriage certificate saying you and your spouse are married and want it legally recognized. No need for a ceremony where you pledge fealty to the state and insert them into your lives either.

You do live in the state responsible for Chicago, which I believe I can justifiably argue, has surpassed SF on the retardation scale.

Guessing that's the newer Carlsbad location? Is he referring to Black's? I don't know every spot, but never heard of Blackies.

Took my west coast salary and profitable LLC with me - after I pay 2015 taxes to CA, the state won't get another dime from me.
Ended up moving to the Southeast. It's pretty nice here. Gas is dirt cheap, tons of food options, lots of jobs, good gun laws, friendly people, low taxes and seems like a decent place to set up shop. While the traffic sucks, I'm near bike trails that will get me directly to work.
I'll be paying cash for a house in the next few months, and then quitting my day job to pursue my own ventures. It's a lot easier to do that out here. No more slumlords.
F U California. And damn it feels good to finally get out of that state after 8 years. I'll miss your coastline, but nothing else.
