I was thinking the same thing  :2funny:

Well, you never know. You hear about those teenage brides overseas...

Not one of the proudest moments for Hmong men or men in general.

i end up in california once or twice or even five times a year depending on the job but i wouldn't want to live there. i guess if you were born and raised there then it's all gravy. america is as big as it is wide that i have no need to insert myself in the californicatio n of things.

i'm fine with my southern roots and east coast pedigree

True. For me it's the mild Winters, the dry heat and a little bit of nostalgia.

Nothing against the east coast, I'm sure I'd just be just as enamored by the Atlantic coast as I have been with the Pacific. I'll let you know after next years trip up the east coast into Canada.

Yes they do have flea markets and this farmer's market but it is only on Saturday.   This is like how they are doing it in the motherland.  Set shop and sell.  No pay for spots, no tax and no bullchit, all profit. 

Totally illegal in all sorts of ways.  Fines in all sorts of ways if convicted.   >:(

Skirting the system huhn?

I guess local residents should start brainstorming.

Dear Penthouse...lo l! I kid, I kid.

I really could care less about it although for the sake of my significant other, I try not to. As far as I'm concerned being together is mutual and when that no longer is the case, we'd part ways. It's that simple.

Question.

It's obvious vendors and consumers want this to happen. Is there not a local daily/weekly market? I guess I've gotten spoiled having access to the local farmer's markets here in MN/WI.

Someone explain this phenomenon to me. I understand it's at a park and that's about as much as I know.

there's property tax for cars?  :dontknow: :dontknow: here we have property taxes for our homes and it's about $4k for mine....

my coworker recently cashed out a $800k home out in the city of El Dorado Hills, CA. And although his house is paid for, he's still paying monthly taxes and miscellaneous fees and his monthly payment is around $2k.

Rich people problems *sighs*

He'll keep paying until he sells it and no longer owns that property. All they've done is decrease their monthly payments by paying off the loan. He still has insurance, property taxes and utilities etc...

also what does car tags mean in the Midwest? car registration?

car registration just went up to offset for the cost of road repairs here in cali aka senate bill 1  :P...my car registration alone this year is $300+  :o >:( it used to be about $200 ish only

Makes sense. Although the newer the car, the more expensive the tabs/tags. I paid about $45 this past year but have paid as much as close to $200 on a newer car.

That would work in theory, IF, domestic production cost wasn't so much higher.

Companies are less likely to produce goods domestically at a higher cost and eat the loss when sold on the market. Consumers will bear that cost in the end. Until business owners are willing, this isn't the answer.

If you think welfare was bad, just you wait...

I am in the central valley.

I bought my 1st home during the recession...an d now my mortgage is way less than what people are paying for rent alone....

according to google ...

The average living wage in California is $8.83. Adjusting this for the cost of living in XXXXX gives a living wage of $8.50...job growth is evident in industries like technology, construction and health care; Sutter Memorial Hospital and UC Davis Medical Center employ a large number of residents. The government sector — the region's largest employer — also continues to remain stable. Unemployment is close to the national average and the lowest it has been for more than a decade.

COST OF LIVING

Housing 167.7
Median Home Cost $317,600  :o :o :o
Utilities 98.4
Transportation 132.8

----
If you want to move here, central valley it is. Cost of living in the nkes area is too high, let alone, the commute and transportation cost...you're living to work only...if you can find a reasonable job here in the central valley, you're ok. Cost of living in California alone and taxes are crazy but manageable. I've been here all my life for over 30+ years and there's no place like California. You get the snow, cold, heat and nice weather all year round with just a few hundred miles of driving. Good luck.

I worry less about work and more about not having the support system I have in the Midwest. I have some family on the west coast but I'm too proud to beg or rely on them.

Thanks for the input.

You can live in the central valley but work in the bay.  It is the norm for a lot of people who are commuters.  It is an acquired art too.  AT first, it can get you because of the traffic but if you think about it, you are not the only one who is stuck in traffic.  We all are so it is the norm.  We are talking about the valley min wages about $11 hr and just going over a hill to the other side and you can see $14 hr right away.  A person at 11 hr to start will take them at least 5 years to reach that level.  5 years?  heck nah because your goal is to hit it at 10 years.  So the best option is to go where they money is at while you can reach your goals faster.    O0

I can barely live comfortably here making more than that. How do people manage to make it on $11-14.00 an hour, yikes! I would think you need to make an upwards of $19.00+ to even think about living in the boonies of some small CA town.

Thanks Duma.

Bay Area is fine but too $$$ for me.

I've thought about moving back to somewhere in the central valley or either Nor Cal.

Just a pipe dream for now.
