After having lived in CA since four years old, I've reached that point in my life where the politics and other ills of this state have begun to affect me at the personal level.
There are many things I've found that you can't legally do here that you can do legally in other states neighboring it.
I've recently warmed up to firearms and after going shooting in places like Utah and New Mexico, that insatiable taste for weapons ownership is strong.
Apart from that reason, the housing costs in this state are still far beyond what I would call affordable in this obvious post-housing collapse economy.
I feel that if I want to get a place of my own and get it paid for in a realistic amount of time, it's better to seek out different areas with better prices.
With that, I've had the luck and pleasure of hauling loads across the states mentioned in the title for the most part of this entire year.
All of them are great, but the thing is I need to pick one and just shoot straight for it and now I narrow it down to costs.
Colorado has some nice places in the cities like Denver, Aurora, Grand Junction, Fort Carson and in between. Housing costs are generally affordable there.
Winters get tight, but not as nasty as some places and at least the sun still shines during those months.
Utah has a one large city and many small towns scattered throughout the state.
People like to criticize the prevailing religion in that state, but the colleges/universities there are quite affordable and student-teacher ratios are good to work with.
New Mexico has an awesome mix of desert, mountain, and plains scenery.
In addition, they appear to have educational opportunities in small towns and it is also quite affordable as well.
In the end, housing prices and college-affordability/resources seem to be what I'm pushing for.
