I think you're right--taxes--property taxes have got to go sky-high in California--I know my uncle who lives there is real worried about that. I can't not believe how enept the State Legislature has been over the years. They don't know what to do--& no one is willing to make hard choices. It's spend-spend-spend & worry about paying the bill later. Sounds kind of familiar doesn't it--especially with our federal government spending money like it grows on trees.

At any rate--off the coast of Santa Barbara there is a known natural gas reserve that is large enough to heat everyone's homes in America for the next four years. Think of the state revenue that would bring in. But--heck no the enviromental wacco's are out in force on this one. It's just unbelievable--but I agree with the author of this post. I would not live in California today. So I imagine there will be a mass exodus to other areas of the country--that actually balance their budgets & prefer to cut spending versus raise taxes. Good luck to the author--but you may want to look at my state Colorado for your re-location.
