BINGO!
We left 10 months ago and RE was the only reason. I was hanging on waiting with most of you Piggington folks until they announced the Land Bank scheme there in San Diego. Once I realized the govt. and corps. were going to do everything they could to keep the fraudulent house prices sky high, it was the last straw.
Now we’re doing much better. Our standard of living is 3-4 times better than what we could afford in San Diego. Plus, I can even afford to get my pilot’s license too. Yes, there is a whole big world out there besides CA.
Looks like I got out just in time too. What with all your new taxes and cuts coming down the pipeline. Oh yeah, the DMV still tried to send me the registration/smog renewal to my NEW address out of the state. Let me tell you what a joy it was to write across that notice in bold letters “I am no longer in California as of …” before mailing it back without my check. My 14 year old pick up would’ve been a guaranteed smog failure this year too. Looks like they lost out on squeezing those extra few $$$ out of me too.
