1. People whose incomes have not kept up with the price of housing and they’ve come to the realization that they can never buy a home here. We call these the “middle class”.
2. People who own a home and have decent equity. They can sell, retire, and move and buy a new house for cash and drive up the local housing market at their destination. With their newfound spare time they can then run for HOAs, city commission, and county commission and begin to enact change to make the new destination just like California.
3. People who are fine with living in tiny houses and selling tie dye t-shirts and smoke pot all day. These people go to Oregon, Washington, and Colorado. FYI #2 & 3 are often the same and we call them “Equity Refugees” . You, MACS, are welcome to join my man KOC moving up here. |

Pensacola NAS and the Blue Angels and Eglin AFB in the middle of things. What is not to like? Spend a vacation week driving along the Gulf from Panama City north thru Destin and the panhandle, into Orange Beach/Gulf Shores, then Gulfport/Biloxi, thru Pass Christian and Bay St. Louis. I think you will be pleased with what you see. |

Subtracting 8 hours to sleep, 2 hours of time for meals and clean up and a 2 hour walk of Tank and an hour for a dump and coffee, it leaves you 11 hours a day to build your plan to gtfo of Cali.

One bite at a time. Eat the elephant (not in a sexual way). All good. I'm slowly disappearing things from the house. Salvation Army is thankful. They got a whole lot of clothing recently, and a window AC unit that was rarely used. When the wife gets back from the trip, we'll push the pedal a little harder. Stuff in the garage will be donated... more stuff in the house will be donated... and once we decide how to sell, a "moving sale" will happen. Anything that doesn't sell will be donated. Plan is to keep what she "has to have" for memento purposes, and the new living room furniture and TV's... plus her curio cabinet and my cigar cabinet... then buy new sh*t when we get to where we're going. Wherever the hell that is. |
