Dennis, SoCal is unnecessarily expensive due to the policies the single party leadership promotes. Some good, no arguments, but many are questionable and the middle class is getting sick of dealing with it. I am solidly middle class as are my peers. Most of us, now approaching retirement age, will happily relocate our primary residence and put up with more weather extremes and limited dining opportunities. We prefer to cook at home our own favorites. We do it better than most outside dining establishments. I will never sell our Santa Barbara house, it’s an easy rental income. But we are more likely to move elsewhere with a similar climate, outside the US works just as well. I got 20 or so years left so whatever. Oops hope my comments did not take this to PARF, if so moderator please delete me post. Best to all!
