Well, looks like California has gone far enough over the edge to push me out. Early retirement is looming. Planned to get in 3 more years but it's looking like I'll have to cut it short and work where I'm going for a while, instead. I have a list of locations that interest me for various reasons and I hereby welcome your opinions if you've experienced any of these places:
1-Colorado Springs area (Woodland Park looks good)
2-Oro Valley, AZ
3-Prescott, AZ
4-Flagstaff, AZ

I have a few locations in NV that I already know fairly well that are on our list. I have a close friend in Colorado Springs area. She recommended Woodland Park.

I'm shocked at how eager lawmakers here are to keep up this constant fight against basic liberties. Can't take it. Won't subject my kids to it.
