I need to move out of the Bay Area CA!!! :)

I'm in the Bay area CA. I've been employed for the last 9 years at the same company, and work as a Shipping supervisor for a major medical device company. Housing is out of this world, and we're thinking of moving. Need suggestions! The average house in San Jose is over 1 million. My rent is going up, and it's just too expensive to live here much longer.

I'll plug Kitchener Ontario. Lots of work available, nearby minor airport, close major airport. Commuter trains to Toronto all day. Very vibrant city, but not big and congested.

Lots of gaming including a&a minis.

Warm summers with beaches close by. Winters cool enough to have outdoor fun but not killer.

Thanks for the ideas so far! I think Canada would be too much snow for us. I wouldn't mind it as I almost joined the Canadian Army in 1986. However, for several reasons...that story is for entertainment purposes only!

Arizona is a possibility.

We don't get that much snow here for the most part.

The part of Ontario I'm in is in a large depression that keeps barometric pressure high thus snow away.

Just enough to have fun.

Though if you're trying to escape a liberal culture, Canada may not be for you lol

We don't usually have to shovel sunshine here. However, sometimes we do get earth moving through the air here, it can get some altitude with it as well. The rains can come after that event & then everybody has a brown car...
We do have places that get that frozen rain ober just mentioned though.


No more Llama dramas either, today it was a small white dog on the freeway...it ended well though, dog got off the freeway & went to a mobilehome park.

PLan B! No or little snow,college town, med/lg. airport, 3/2 house around $200k (with land for a horse a plus), no desert, gamers in the area, Hobby Lobby, a job in retail Hobby Lobby/warehousing as a supervisor/ trainer. Or employment with a resin craft company...must have health insurance!

Canada is not possible
East coast is out

I was thining the same thing, but I don't know how long the Illinois state income tax can stay below 5%. Personally, I would recommend people leave Illinois before things get worse due to their unbelievable, incredibly high debt and unfunded pension liabilities (similar to California). Might be jumping out of the frying pan into the fire.
