I fully agree with you abour CA being an "unfriendly" retirement state. We fully researched things, since our daughter lives in beautiful San Diego, but taxes are EXTREMELY high, and housing is expensive. CA offers no tax benefits for retirees; even NY offers tax breaks for pensioners.

Only thing holding us back from FL is the heat and humidity of the summers, since my wife has MS.
