Okay, I will just own this fact that I am a 4th gen Californian, but all generations have been Reagan style conservatives and are from rural CA. With that said, I just retired from Law enforcement and am looking for a safe semi rural place to raise my family. Gun rights are paramount, good big game hunting, and the ability to be left alone. I mind my own business, and don't ever want to turn the place i move to into California. Every state I look at, it seems they are not far from becoming blue. I lived in NV and would not even consider it now since the libs have a super majority there, with Reno and Vegas controlling the state.
The Bighorn basin of North-Central Wyoming. (I live in Hyattville near the Bighorn Mtns.)
There are only 600,000 people in the whole state! - The Freedom grows on you.
I left Southern California back in 1992 when i was 32, and joined my Dad in fishing and hunting. - Got my CDL to drive truck and never looked back - just visit California every now n then. - don't miss the traffic! - Way cheaper to live in Wyoming too - if you can handle the weather - I adapted. - The lowest point in Wyoming is 3100-ft.
And, for what you pay for a house in California, you can spend half for the same quality house n bank the rest.
