[QUOTE="moreluck, post: 361738, member: 1246"] Keep in mind that in California, "closeness" is a relative term. With our gigantic freeways, we go everywhere......even if it is at 4AM to avoid traffic. Anywhere in CA. is still going to be closer than a 3 day drive from Ohio to CA. I've seen new homes in Victorville (high desert) advertised for 250-300,000........right off the I-15. To get the exact home you have in Ohio, you'd be looking at 2-3 x more. Remember to take into consideration the "other expenses" some of which might be more or less than Ohio. In OH., we didn't use to pay property taxes every year when licensing our cars. In CA. we do. It's based on the make & age of your car. Heck, we used to pay $20 for a license plate in OH. (been a long time). Ca. property taxes are quite high (IMO).....but not as bad as Hawaii's. I believe sales tax is 7 3/4% depending where you live. Wish I could help you more. Living in CA. has been like living in paradise to me. I "pay" for the beauty I see everyday with the flowers along highways instead of dirt and discarded cans. I also pay for the perfect moderate weather I enjoy......lots of sunny days and not that "gray" stuff that Ohio has so much of.......and don't even get me started about snow. We tossed our studded tires the day we moved from Utah to CA. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
