No doubt the governance and regulations are a huge negative.
QUESTION: Why is gasoline more expensive in CA than in neighboring states when the major refineries are located in California? I get gas at Port Hueneme (The Seabee base) and it is $0.35 cheaper per gallon than the Mobil right outside the base.
Why do I stay?
1) Family
2) Weather
3) Job
One point to note is there are some communities in CA that have the Midwest small town feel to them. We have a place near the Harbor at Port Hueneme, small town, friendly people, more relaxed pace. When the rest of Southern CA is burning up at 100 degrees the temperature is 75 degrees. My neighbors call me “Colonel.” I don’t think my neighbors at our main residence even recognize me after 23 years.
Oh I guess there is a #4
4) The sunsets
