hello. the choice is between the Mt. Shasta area, the coastal area, the eastern foothills, or nearer Sacromental and San Francisco. you have to be specific about your lifestyle, or if just good cable reception is important. do you grow food, or need groceries nearby? do you like rivers, lakes, tall trees, or plains, mountains and colder weather? or would you rather be closer to the vineyards? the cost of living is pretty expensive. is it just the weed? you could help bring that to your state.
