Well for better or worse I am probably stuck in Cali. I am 2nd gen Californian and I own a local business, have roots, friends and family here. It rains 10 days/yr, my heat/AC bills are approaching zero and I own a comfortable home overlooking a golf course. There are 5 Porsche friendly road race tracks within a 2 hr drive and I do like the beach and mountains.

The down side is cost of living is up, government regs have seriously impacted my business over the last 20 yrs and I have no meaningful representation in either Sac or DC. Sac has painted themselves into a fiscal dark corner and since I am approaching the end of my high earning years I am unlikely to help them dig out. That will sadly come on the backs of my kids and grand kids.

For all it's promises and problems, bright energetic people can always make a go of it here. Space-X Technologies might be one good example of this when so many said it could never be done, and certainly never in California.
