The ex grew up in RP and his dad commuted to Torrey Pines which could take upwards to an hour and a half. There are portions that are absolutely gorgeous, but the incorporated areas just aren't my thing for the most part. If I were to pick an area to live, it would be Temecula. Ramona wasn't bad when we looked at it, I have no idea what it's like now, though.

All these pics of Cali are making me miss that damn place. Haven't been there in 2.5 years.Comment

I guess I was just lucky. I got a raise moving from CA to TX in '05 and now 6 years later I make about 50% more than I did when I left CA. This is all with the same company (telecom).
For me the price of real estate, car laws, and gun laws were the main things that helped me decide to leave.
I lived up in wine country in Sonoma County near the ocean. When I left houses were 4-6 times as much as an equivalent house here. Now they are down quite a bit but still about double the price.Atlantic Blue '00 - '03 Cobra motor and TKO600, solid axle, full MM suspension

Does anyone know the answer to this? I would think I would not pay state income tax until my physical address is in CA, but I have no clue, have always lived in TX.Originally posted by UserX View PostComment

They tax non residents for California sourced income. You probably need to contact the HR dept that handles the CA payroll.Originally posted by UserX View PostComment

Thanks, I will. I'll be pissed if my paycheck gets reduced and I'm still living here.Originally posted by ComeAgainJen View Post
I think I found the house I want... no HOA, big yard, palm trees, lots of windows & only 2 miles from 24 Hour Fitness. I hope it's still on the market when my house sells. The property tax there is the same on a $350K house as it is on my current $150K house. http://www.zillow.com/homedetails/30.../52502892_zpidComment

Beautiful house! My ex father in law was a resident of CA, consulted in WA, and paid income tax in both states.Originally posted by UserX View PostComment

Sweet, thanks Jason. I know I'll be working up that way quite a bit, one of their problem sites is in that area. I know there is no way I can afford a house anywhere near there though. And I prefer to live south of LA.Originally posted by gat0r View PostComment

Yep. I've been working in san diego for 2.5 years now (while i live in the DFW area) and i get the honor of filing a california state tax return and paying quarterly tax every year. But it does come off the federal, so that's ok.Originally posted by ComeAgainJen View Post
I currently live in a hotel so i don't have any real estate advice except to save your pennies. I've not really run into any rude people out here. Every parking space is tiny so sell that suburban - you will not be able to park it, and if you manage to park it you'll be crawling out the windows.
The weather is hard to beat. Right now we're having the "may gray" which will be followed by the "june gloom" - overcast weather, but the temps are nice.
Traffic between SD and LA is insane. We left LA one sunday night headed back to SD and the traffic was completely solid going north from SD to LA! And i hear that's normal.
The liberal politics and liberal people may drive you crazy
but if i was offered a permanent job out here i would seriously consider taking it.
