Sigh...to make a long story short, my wife has decided that she's getting out of Texas, with or without me.

She's listed California, Oregon and Washington as possible places where she'd like to relocate. Well, I'm allergic to the cold, so that leaves California.

Any input on possible locations in California where she can "Escape the redneck mentality" and I can still live around semi-sane individuals?

Thanks Dog.

Jim, how's Fresno? Got any room next door?

Cheers!

Nah, she’s the love of my life. I’d follow her to Hell and back.

Sounds like you already have the "follow her TO..." part down pat.

Cheers!

Consider Phoenix.

"It's a dry heat."

And Sarah Palin has a house in North Scottsdale...

Cheers!

It's a sad fact that most people who can't stand those around them never figure out that THEY are the problem.

Oops, I guess my "redneck mentality" is showing as well. LOL!!!

I'm sure she will be much happier surrounded by hippies and out-of-work, pot-smoking, college grads living on the tax-payer's bill.

I second the votes here for North County, San Diego and Ventura County if you are looking at Southern Calif., and for Placer County near Sacramento — quite hot in the summer, however. There are other scenic areas outside Sacramento such as Auburn. You might also consider North of SF in Sonoma County — beautiful country but extremely liberal. To generalize: the closer you get to the coast the more liberal it gets. Good luck in your search.

BTW it isnt well thought out to leave a place with no alimony laws to go to one with very vigorous alimony laws while ones wife is threatening to leave. JMO

[amazed]

Sent you PM. Look at Amador, Calaveras and Tuolumne counties—north/central Calif.

[magslinger]

The weather there is nice. Now.

Since they are trying to give CA back to the Mexicans, (I know, I still live here.)why just move to Mexico, if you can find a safe locale.

Taxes can’t be any worse than here.

[dragnet2]

Texas is full of these types...Ya mention ya want to leave or move away from Texas for whatever reason, and ya get this?

No problem, its my ‘redneck mentality’ assshole.

Nice huh?

Don't worry about these guys, as they are likely miserable themselves and are in no mood to be left behind. Many are simply jealous of CA, even with the political morons currently running the show. It's always been like this.

Ya seem them lined up by the tens of thousands during the Rose Parade, when it's 73 degrees in January, as they escape their frozen, frigged icy enclaves.

Is she aware that judges (and later maybe everyone) need to register their sexuality with the state?

Uhmmm he calls me and my family rednecks because his wife isnt happy with him or this state and Im the problem? Funny stuff...

[doorgunner69]

I escaoed Calif. six years ago, no way I would move back. The huge hit on property and sales tax along with the degenerate culture would prevent any thought of that.

Not all of Wash. and Ore. are cold and rainy. Think the eastern area are drier. Rather some rural hill country than the liberal urban areas, of course.

What is the deal with Rednecks? I lived next door to San Fernando Valley whitetrash in SoCal, cannot be worse than Texans. Have to remember a lot of more affordable areas in Calif. are populated by descendants of the Okie Dust Bowl era, and are quite trashy and redneck.

I agree. Santa Barbara IS beautiful. I haven’t seen it in 20 years....I live in Maine now. Another state with high income taxes. And cold winters, unlike southern California.

Santa Barbara didn’t always have the Spanish-style architecture. It once had a mish-mash of Western style false front buildings and numerous other buildings of little architectural note in the downtown business district.
Mother Nature put an end to them on June 29, 1925 just before dawn. A shallow, 6.3 earthquake hit the city.....almost identical to the quake that hit Christchurch, New Zealand last year. The business district and many other areas of the city were in ruins. The city fathers decided to honor the city’s old Spain heritage when the rebuilding got underway, and that why there are so many stucco buildings with the orange clay tile roofs in Santa Barbara.

I’ve heard that real estate in Santa Barbara has dropped in price because of the recession and real estate crash. As I mentioned in my previous post, Santa Barbara has a liberal bent, but the mountains above the city.....the Santa Ynez Valley.....struck me as being very conservative when I lived there.

Last year I got a shotgun and a good hunting dog for my wife, pretty good trade.

I live in the Los Gatos-Saratoga-Campbell area. Surrounded by mountains, half an hour from the beach. Not as rabidly leftist as SF, LA, or Santa Cruz. Nice weather, unless you live for rain and chilliness, like I do. I am only still here for my parents’ sake, when I moved back from GA, I wanted to go to Washington. I just consider myself still an honorary Georgian politically, since there is no hope for any conservative until the state finally collapses.
