What's the Palm Springs/ Temecula/ Hemet area of Cali like? I'm thinking of moving to get away from fucking New England winters. Seems to be inexpensive property in that area, is it tweaker country? How's the job market in southern CA? I'm a schooled machinist, but also wouldn't mind working in the auto trades. What about inland of Santa Cruz? I got a buddy who'd go if I moved to that area, he lived in Cruz for like 7 years and wants to go back. I don't realy want to be near big populations, I'd like to be away from people. I'd be looking to buy a fixer upper, main priority would be a big, secure, garage for my cars and tools.
Tons of tweakers down here, worse it's just so damn crowded everywhere. About the nicest place in So. CA is San Diego and they are seriously anti-pot. Northern CA is less crowded Aeronow and others have better info than I do. Further it's expensive as shit here, most expensive gas in the nation, with the new tax on it and our tax laws are onerous.

Concur. Even the Owens Valley (Bishop, Lone Pine east of the sierras) is expensive, even for raw land. Forget any place that's a grape region

I happened to see a decent house with 2 car garage in Desert Hot Springs that started this. There were sand dunes right out the back door, which I thought was cool. Is it really crowded everywhere out there, or is it just around the major cities? Population density is around 800 people per sq mile around here, I'd like to go somewhere closer to half that, or less. I'm about an hour outside of Boston right now and from what I can see the cost of living isn't to much different here to there. Not to worried about pot laws, they haven't stopped me yet, lol. How far north can you go before it gets shitty, regularly, in winters? I'm thinking the Fresno to Sacramento area is where I should be looking. I can't find much on jobs markets out there. Where's the military bases? That's usually where there is good manufacturing industry.

I'm gonna start a thread for this.

Military base + industrial center + supporting commerce = MORE PEOPLE.

I do understand your situation and agree with the idea of living in a sparsely populated area.

Where I live the population is around 100K to about 45 sq mi. Not huge by many standards
but still too many peeps crowding my personal space.



Going downtown is always a nightmare as it is a bustling metropolis, a magnet for the surrounding communities for hundreds of miles.:cry:
