There is "weather good or bad" anywhere you go. Adjust your mind and your days and you can be happy!
Good advice, thanks.
California: In 1974 Howard Jarvis lead Proposition 13 which froze property taxes with a limit of 2% per year increase with certain stipulations attached. A whole lot of us still pay 1974 property tax. You can imagine the savings! That's why moving will cost us a whole lot more plus the annual maintenance fee and bond, etc.
I'm not complaining just making a true statement.
