I love CA - especially San Francisco, Napa Valley (LOVE), and San Diego. I really want to go to Big Sur though

LOL Mine was San Bernardino to Tujunga. It took me 2 hrs to get to school and 2-3 hrs back. LOL no fun.

California is ok. Many love the weather here. I live in the southern part and there are too many people!!!!! I'm a little negative on our state right now. Driving anywhere on the freeway is a often a nightmare. Everytime I have to do it, I want to move. The unemployment is a problem and our state is broke for various reasons. My husband and I would love to eventually retire some place else! However, our children are here and they like California. So....we will stay. We often vacation in Lake Tahoe. It is beautiful up there in Northern California! There is good and bad.

Good Luck with your decision.

this is sooooooo true - it is a nightmare getting to events on weekends too and if there is an accident forget it might as well go home lollll

Just kidding! I love driving, and to me traffic is not that bad, maybe because I'm nuts!!!!! I had the worst commute for two years and I didn't mind it at all. I went from Downtown to Watts (110-> 105), Watts to Santa Monica (105-> 405-> 10) and then back to Downtown. As long as your outside the downtown area, it's not that bad. I moved to Irvine for 3 years, and I swear I was spoiled! Higher speed limits, very little traffic, and the entire city is doggie friendly. I made so many doggie friends it was like a mini meetup every night after work.

how about the 405 lolllllllll

Ah yeah...accidents...I remember many times traffic crawling on the freeway at less than 5 mph. Time to use the cell (a no no here when driving) and tell whoever you are going to be late. California

Never had an issue with it in Irvine. The 405 stretch from the 105 to the 10 is a nightmare, so anything compared to that is nothing.

I guess Cali isn't for everyone. There are more rural areas with less people and less traffic. You can always get a hands free headset for your cell.
I love it here and never ever want to leave. I've had the chance to visit TN and AZ. I will NEVER set foot in TN ever again. It's great for some, but it's not my cup of tea. Have no real complaints on AZ.

You are a true road warrior girl lolllll What do you drive a hummer ? Brings up another point - GAS PRICES YIKES

We moved to Oregon for a couple of years when we first got married. I still love visiting there and also Colorado. "The grass is always greener in someone elses backyard" I guess. I would probably miss California if we moved, but our state does have some serious problems that need to be resolved.

sarahheartmaddy · 05-14-2010, 07:44 PM

We might be moving to Cali as well. My husband's job might be asking him to relocate there -- San Jose area. I am begging to live in San Fran, but I guess we will see!
