im retired , my girlfriend has 5 years leftand then we are out of here

This is an idea often floated in states mainly as a way to tax electric vehicles for their road usage since they don't pay tax on gasoline obviously. Many states are looking to future and are concerned about shrinking tax revenues to fund highway maintenance and construction as cars get better and better gas mileage or in the case of electric or hydrogen vehicles no gasoline use at all.

With its traffic, high gas prices, expensive homes, fire season, Lakers......who would want to live here right?

Everytime they raise the gas tax they use the excuse that the money will be used for road repair. We probably (still) have some of the worst roads in the country. :mad:

Have you ever been to NYC? It's tough to swallow a $12 toll for a short expressway that is covered in pot holes.

welcome to 2018

It will be everywhere soon as the national trans budget is wearing thin. I work in the industry.

How about this one in Floriduh? The state senate is considering a bill to give parents $7k a year if your kid is getting bullied in a public school for them to attend a private one!!! Like bullying doesn't happen there. Just another waste of tax payers money. Fix the GD problem in public school and with shitty parents.

California, a great place to visit.

I can't stand living in California. Rent is crazy expensive in the Bay Area. 3.5-4K a month gets you 1100 sqft. If you buy here expect to pay 7 figures for a starter home. Roads suck, traffic sucks, lines for everything, rude people out number courteous people 3:1, taxes keep going up and this state has the most corrupt politicians walking around like their $hit doesn't stink. We have a pay for use lane on some freeway sections. I really hate California....

Come and compare to S'pore,still consider very Cheap.just imagine a Mazda 6,2.5[370z no more selling here],we are paying over US$120,000 for it,on top of it,expensive parking,daily Road pricing,Yearly Road Tax of US$1300 & finally US$1.60 per Litre of Premium Gas...

:icon17:Lakers.......Well at least you have a real pro football team this year!

So, why stay?

I'm in SoCal...born & raised here. I've lived in other parts of the country but, I always come back home. Sure, there's stuff to complain about, where isn't there? Are there some rude people? sure, again, that's not just in Cali...there're jerks all over the country.

I've got a huge 1 bd rm in Los Feliz, $1350 a mo....pool, jacuzzi too and Griffith Park and The Greek Theater within walking distance.

Yeah, there's some bad roads around town but, we also have AMAZING twisties to run on with the Z. There's great food, plenty of hotties, great weather, beaches, snow sports, etc., etc.

Corrupt pols? again, that's a 50 state thing.

I say if you're not happy where you're at, bail.

Cali for Life!:tup:
