Want to get away from the big city but where?
I am a LA native with a young child. I am so tired of inflated property values for crappy homes, the noise, violence, attitude, gangs, bad kids no green space, no nature, bad air, air heads, fake personalities, new money entertainers, actors, paparazzi and the fact that family and marriage is not important anymore.
Where in Cali can I get some peace, pretty decent weather, acsess to streams or ponds, lakes or the coast, take a beautiful walk with my family, rent/buy an affordable house, and send my child to a good school all while living amongst other nice families.
I want to live where there is a local food culture, farmers markets, co ops, independent restaurants. I would even consider Oregon
BTW we are black and would love a diverse community or at least a progressive one.
Well I grew up in San Diego, so my question is do you want to stay in Cali? If you do, it might be worth it to check out Julian or around that area, or even Tahoe. Nice country feel, but can’t say it will be cheaper by much. Both areas are similar to what you say you are looking for though. If you want cheaper all together consider relocation out of state. I had to, and moved to Texas. I can still drive to SD to visit family in under 2 days, really it only takes me 19 hours or so. Not too bad. And everything is more affordable here in New Braunfels!
