I'm thinking about moving to California?

Question

Can someone please tell me some good and bad things about living in California, I have wanted to move there my whole life and I really just want to know a little bit more about the place. I live in Australia at the moment.

Thanks

Answer 1

I have to agree that California does offer a great deal of diversity as far as landscape and culture.  The other responder was correct in that the cost of living here is almost getting prohibitive to those who may want to relocate.  Depending on where you locate in California, current housing, food and gas prices are quite profound.  If you are able to secure a decent position of employment that can allow you to live comfortably in an area you choose, than by all means, welcome!  The Central Valley of California is a bit more affordable, but employment may be limited.  The No. California Bay Area has great weather, but can be pretty pricey to live.  You can utilize Mass Transit into say San Francisco from most points surrounding the Bay Area. We are currently having issues with wildfires as you know. As far as the MYTH that California will fall into the ocean or So. Cal will soon be part of No. Cal as a result of our frequent Earthquake activity is just that...A MYTH!  Yes we are a state plagued by earthquakes.  But if your not too concerned about this other than to further understand our Geology and be prepared in the event of, you would truly enjoy all that the state has to offer.  Word of advice.... RESEARCH before you move.
