But California's average salary isn't that impressive (as I said 15th best in the Country) meanwhile the cost of living is ridiculous (second highest in the Country) and you put those together and mix in a high tax rate and you get a shit ton of homeless people and people that can't afford their housing.
Yeah, we all know California has some beautiful parts and the social scene can be great no doubt. But unless you find a great job and you're making really good money it's not that nice when you have to settle and overpay for property not getting good value for your dollar compared to other states. While breathing shit air and dealing with horrible traffic rofl!
I'm good, I enjoy DE which has some of the lowest taxes in the country, there is no sales tax, and property taxes are sixth lowest in the country. It's also one of the banking capitals in the U.S. and 70% of fortune 500 companies are incorporated in DE. I can get a good size house at a reasonable price as the cost of living is reasonable, while being centrally located with an easy drive (30 min to 2 hours) from some of the biggest cities in America: New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington D.C. Oh, and we have some of the cleanest and nicest beaches in the U.S. (and our water is warmer than California).
In terms of climate and significant natural disasters, we're pretty lucky. Out west, you have earthquakes, punishing droughts, and gigantic forest fires. In the Midwest, they have deadly tornadoes. We get hurricanes, but we're not nearly as at-risk as the Gulf states. We get blizzards, but they're rare, and we have the infrastructure to deal with them. Summers are hot and winters are cold, but at least it's not hot all the time or cold all the time so we get to enjoy everything. So i'm good, plus I love the beach (i'm there almost every weekend) but I also love the snow and I love snowboarding even though I always fuck myself up.
Serious question though, have you ever seen snow in real life?
Bro I like how your trying to make living in Delaware Airport Storage Room sound nice because the rent is low. LOL earthquakes are non existent in their effect on day to day life and when they happen usually just results in a broken Vase, fires are usually in the hills or far north, places not many people live, & we don’t have to deal with severe heat like the AZ & Texas etc or your shit snow plowing & ice roads of the East.
I’m not gonna repeat myself in regards to what our influence is with respects to culture, LA, technology, & agriculture, but just know, we are also the best there too.
Low cost doesn’t mean better, prices are set by supply & demand. The demand to be the next tech giant of the Sillicon Valley, to be the next entertainment icon in LA , the next Movie Star, to live in the sunniest chillest waviest place is there baby. But your right, People are having trouble affording Cali so they are moving out. That’ll definitely help our affordability problem, but like any real estate agent will tell ya, location location location 😉 you can remodel that house but you can’t change the neighborhood baby.
& yes nigga I have a buncha fams in Jersey & New York.
