ThunderRam Posted July 8, 2018 Report Share Posted July 8, 2018 I love living in CA, but have always disliked the SF area. Just not my cup of tea. I always want to leave as soon as I get there. I tell friends visiting from out of State that aside from seeing some of the historic landmarks, it's a vastly overrated city. It's filthy, windy and cold. This article just reinforces how I've always felt about it. However, I enjoy trips to the North Bay, especially Napa, Petaluma, Santa Rosa, Sonoma, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, California and the Bay Area are crazy expensive! I like the Folsom area, my Dad lives farther East up Hwy 50 in Placerville, quaint town. It’s to bad Blockhead has appointed himself as Folsoms representative and put a bad taste in everyone’s mouth. Love Placerville. Beautiful and historic. We always stop there and eat at this dinner right off 50. I want to say it's a girls name, but it's like a Johnny Rockets type theme set in the 50's. Everytime on our way to Tahoe.

Blueliner Posted July 8, 2018 Report Share Posted July 8, 2018 Folsom is pretty tight. Love living here. It’s grown a lot in the 15 or do years I’ve lived here. Hot as shit in the summer though...but it’s a dry heat🤣 It still has that small town feel, but it’s not Mayberry. ...haven’t run into block yet. I like being close Placerville and the mountains. Getting down to Sacramento or the bay is getting tough with the massive increase in traffic. Especially now, with so many people working. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also smack their lips, so as to almost taste the fart ... They believe their farts are satisfactory, and should be eaten/smelt instead of left to dissipate.

That dinner tho is tradition for us. Gone there since like 1999 or something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly all 3. No they just live in a state that extorts it's residents. The ratio between income and cost of living is ridiculously disproportionate in the NE states and most places out West. When flying to Vegas, I had a guy sitting next to me who made $19.50 an hour washing dishes in the Red Rock Casino but was broke as a joke due to the cost of living in Vegas. The dishwasher at Blue Sky Grill in Moultrie makes $9.00 an hour and at worst he lives an equal lifestyle as the Vegas guy. Here in GA, state employees (at least DHR employees) use to receive a yearly raise to account for the increase in living (in addition to their standard raises for years of service) depending on their zip code. Typically those employees receiving raises were in and around ATL. I'm not sure if they are doing this any longer though, as they cut out standard raises a while ago as well as changing their retirement policy. I've turned down a couple promotions in the past two years because I would have to move to larger cities and the increase in pay did not offset the increase in living expenses. On both occasions, my standard of living and expendable income would have decreased dramatically. Factor in the headaches of traffic jams, a bunch of people I barely like, and longer distances from family and friends... And it was not just a no, but a HELL NO!! I actually drive about 100 miles a day round trip for work because it is much cheaper than moving. A couple years ago I purchased a 1600+ sq ft 3 bedroom home on a 1 acre lot for just over $60,000. I've put just over $10,000 in it doing some minor cosmetic updates (paint, flooring, tile, light fixtures, etc) and it is now valued at just under $130,000. A comparable home in CA or NJ would cost me at least $300,000-$400,000 if not more considering the size of my lot. Here, I pay a whopping $437 for my mortgage while bringing home over $1200 per week (after taxes, insurance, 401K, charitable donations, etc). Money goes a lot further in South GA than it does in the extortion states. I may not be rich, but at 27 and single I've got all I need. I don't have to penny pinch and can still put 25% of my earnings monthly in my savings account. In 10 years I might just cash out the 401k, sell the house, and pay cash for a little hut on an island somewhere while the extortion state "middle classers" work until death just trying to pay for the necessities. While they do that, I'll be sipping adult libations with the senoritas somewhere further south. If I'm feeling ballsy enough, I might smuggle some dope to LDT while he is still working 100 hour weeks in that shit hole place up north.
