Moved to SanClemente 16 years ago from L.I. New York, never looked back or regretted the move. If you're thinking about SoCal, my only recommendation would be to stick to the Coast.
Just had dinner at the Blue Danube. It was not bad. San Clemente is cool...
PM me your Cell # and I'll call you when we have the next GT get together...

That is good advice, the central valley gets hot in the summer, but it feels a lot like the midwest in many ways.

Agree! The real steal is the state pulling 10pct in taxes. Good post on the residency, would love to figure a way to "reside" in Nevada.

10.3% top income tax rate with sales tax from 8.25 to 9.75% and probably going to go up in the near future. That combined with a state budget problems second only to IL and NY, why would anyone want to claim permanent residence in CA? I didn't even get into gun control. :ack

You noted a top income tax rate of 10.3% and sales taxes of 9% +/- , how would you like a rate of 43% for top income and a 12% tax on everything in existence here in BC , Canada
If we only had what California has for taxes we would think we died and went to heaven

Paul,
Was the move, business, family, or career related? Like to hea how first yrs went
I love southern Cal.... For the car culture, blondes and large garages....not great reasons, but will make me happy
I hope to make the move eventually.... No one regrets paying omore taxes on their death bed v. Good living
