One of many reasons why I will never move back to Ca. High prices in everything, commutes (the cities that pay a lot, like Los Angeles also cost a lot. I lived in the High Desert near Victorville where I only paid $600.00 a month rent for a three bedroom home, had to drive 30 miles to the train station, take a one hour train ride to Los Angeles, and the return drive took me twice as long as it did to get there), the insane rules (like one city that banned smoking on your own property, can only smoke inside your house), and the fanatical liberals, insane gun laws, restrictions on off road vehicles and the taking away of places that one can ride (Like Pismo Beach where hundreds of acres of prime riding space is blocked off for some stupid bird called the Snowy Plover) I can go on and on. Colorado Springs is the place I'm going to retire to. Nice prices on everything, fewer restrictions on riding off road on public land, lax gun laws (I can obtain a C&C permit by only paying the fees since I'm in the military and know how to handle a weapon), easy commute, you can pretty much smoke wherever you want, even inside some bars, my extra curricular activities are affordable (snow boarding, rock climbing, off road riding, etc...), and a good mix of liberal and conservative people.
