I can’t really say, I kinda thought CA was a blue State. The wife was talking to her boss who lives here, and said that on top of thier mortgage, they have to pay property taxes of course which is sky high, an HOA fee, AND a 15,000 a year “housing development” fee. Prob not my place to dis someone else’s home state, so I apologize for that… it just seems like the States system is rigged against your average Joe. Most people I’ve talked to say they need 2-3 jobs just to survive…. It’s just not my cup of tea… the views are nice, but maybe just a better place to visit. I went from Coronado Beach and up to LA. There are some nice spots (expensive), but JAYSUS!, the traffic. Rush hour starts at 2:30 on the 15, and if you’re not on the road, it takes 2 hours to go 20 miles ….. and the roads are rough AF.
I did have a nice visit with mi hijo in Murietta, beer and street tacos were pretty awesome.. he’s not closing his eyes here.. it’s sewn shut.. lost it about 8 years ago in a firework accident. This is the first time I’ve seen him in 4 years.
