Didn’t realize the conservative geezers on here are so bitter abt the housing prices in California
Srsly, Ca has problems like any state but let’s put it in perspective. I lived two decades in the Northeast and I wouldn’t go back if possible. Life is sweet over here, pound for pound. If your job sucks in SC and PA it will suck here. (Geez the SC and PA guys B*tch a lot on this site!) If you make a good living in NY, it will be sweet here and you will have a bigger house. And as the Northeast enjoys a blistering snowstorm, I drove my C7Z yest in January with the targa top off in Northern California wearing a light hoodie until 5pm. When it’s a workday, I drive a convertible. So dealing with a fake ticket few and far between (had 1 total in five years that will be thrown out) and some strict exhaust laws are not really a burden to me.
For someone who actually lives in CA, I am contemplating going to ZR1 and I don’t worry for a second abt the new exhaust laws. Then again I don’t street race and my cars are stock.
Then again you can live in S Carolina, and you only worry a cop will shoot u in the back as you are running away from your unpaid ticket (in that case child support and the cop then planted a gun) warrant but on the plus side, your modded tuned C7 comes with a gift of a shotgun and Chitlins.

Yeah, I'll stick to SC, thanks. Also it's middle of winter, and I'm heading out in a polo with no jacket, so it's not exactly the arctic circle around here. And I'm white, so I don't have to worry about the cops shooting me. Heard about the whole "black live matter" movement? It's not because they're running around shooting white people. And I seem to remember some CA cops treating black folks rather rough once or twice...

Once a thread has CA in the title it's just a matter of time before it goes bad.

Why do cali/florida people always bring up weather as if that's the end all be all of answers to end a discussion?
And didn't cali get rocked with snow like 2 days ago? Like 100 inches???? LOL
Florida people can have a house one day, and it could be gone the next due to hurricanes.
So yeah i'll stay here in the northeast. Normal springs, normal summers, normal falls, normal winters.
Have fun with your crappy laws and possible catastrophic mother nature events that could wipe out everything

The cali guys, unfortunately, can't win lol. Because as a car enthusiast, you can't win in cali LOL

but it means the skiing is awesome in Tahoe and Park City!
Lol, the arguments against great climate places are always abt fear mongering- earthquakes and hurricanes and scary illegals! You’d think we live on the Mexican drug cartel region of Krakatoa and getting expensive traffic tickets every week, the way you geezers talk.
Once I could put several cars in the garage, the missing piece was being somewhere I could enjoy them.

We can disagree that car enthusiasts lose in California. For example, This place is literally around the corner from my house so today I see 720S, F40, 355 Challenge Stradale version, Aventador, GT2, ‘65 Mustang modded by Ridler prize winner...

i only got your part about “we’re into cars.” Guess you’re including the entire CF forum in your views. Or it’s the royal “we.”

Your state wasn't branded communfornia for nothing lol
Never said you couldn't enjoy your cars, unless you like leaving everything stock. And that's boring to a CAR ENTHUSIAST.

So true, I must leave this horrible place. I was thinking of that as I drove to and from the golf course yesterday and today with the top down in my shirtsleeves marveling at the 74 degree sunshiny day. It is so horrible as I arrived at my tiny home. Only 1700 square feet! I can't imagine how I can survive without the 3500 square feet I had in hurricane alley just North of Galveston, Texas or the 3200 square foot house I had in Scottsdale, Az. Lord knows you need those big houses when the weather is 122 deg in the shade or 100 deg with 100% humidity and you have to stay inside. Or worse live in a state where you have to put your Corvette on blocks in November until April. And I am going to have start a penny jar so I can pay these exorbitant registration fees we have out here. Or maybe start a GoFundMe page? Lordy or maybe buy a C8 GS rather than a C8Z06 in a few years. But sacrifices are sometimes necessary.
Seriously, I understand how much you love your hood. And those of us in California really appreciate it that you love it so much that you would never consider moving here. Frankly we have too darn many neighbors already. And the thought of some folks becoming price and tax refugees and going elsewhere is simply music to our ears.
Actually I pulled the tax refugee thing at the peak of my career and moved to LV because of the rather exorbitant progressive tax system we have in California that gets pretty bad for those that have what might be considered a nice income. I liked the no income tax and the very reasonable housing costs and the vibrant car community. But LV does have its seedier side and soon we moved to our house in Scottsdale and did that while working for about 5 years. However having to wear a dark suit and a starched shirt and get in your 160 deg F car several times a day to visit a different client got old fast. Sometimes the grass is greener on your neighbors yard doesn't work out like you think. Houston had no income tax and some of the world's nicest people but gosh, who decided to build it in a swamp? Arizona has a working government that is really good at providing societal services at a reasonable cost with good value in housing. And they mostly lean right, but still you have to wonder why they built their biggest 2 cities in a blast furnace.
No place is perfect but having a comfortable nest and good friends and family is enough to make anywhere home. And don't forget to wave. I see the most amazed looks on peoples faces when I wave at them while they are driving their Corvettes around. What planet have they been living on to not know to wave?

Soooooooooo my post is just completely ignored. We're all gonna troll each other. Awesome. And Bo, Charleston has just as nice weather as SD. And I agree (though I know you're being facetious) that a 1700 ft home is pretty tiny, especially if you have kids (which, thank god, i don't). Mine is double that size and I guarantee I paid less than half of what you paid for yours. Every location has its ups and downs. Let's all just agree to disagree and stop being dicks to one another, yeah?

There is no perfect place to live. And if there is, it isn't in the united states.
But like i said, cali is only great, if you're rich. It's the only way to benefit everything else while you're being subdued by all the negatives of living there.
And weather isn't the answer. The air quality there isn't exactly great either. And what about droughts? Earthquakes??
I mean i can keep going and going lol.
But i forgot, let's not nitpick locations. Enjoy where you're at

One nice thing in Nor Cal is one of the best Chevrolet Corvette service departments in the country is just a short drive away.
