Just know what your getting into moveing out here. The cost of living in cali is alot, especially in NorCal. Traffic gets worse every year, our air quality is horrendous, our gas prices are useually the highest in the country, overpopulation is fast becomming an issue in SoCal with all the immigration and we have alot of STUPID drivers! You can't go more than a year or two without getting read-ended by some 16 year old biotch driving daddys lexus.

Although with the economy in the state it's in now, it's a buyers market as far as real estate is concerned.

And there are definatly certain areas you might wanna stay away from, especially depending on your race. Oakland is not a good place to be if your white and well off. And as someone else pointed out, avoid inland/desert areas well known for there crime/methlabs. San Bernandino, Riverside, Lakeside, Temecula, Bakersfield ect... ect...

I'd suggest looking up "SB 420" on google. You can find specific cities and there own regulations on marijuana cards. Each city/county is different, some allow only 8 ounces, some a pound, and in some instances, theres no limit. Just gotta find the right spots

Also take into account what you like to do, do you enjoy hot weather and surfing waves on the beach? Do you like hot women wearing bikinis with no tan lines? Or do you like to snowboard in the winter?

Cali, love it and h8 it!
