Although I am jealous. I can't say things have gone poorly for me in LA County but if possible, doing what you're doing would have been my likely choice too.

Well, I’m moving to California

Don't worry, the taxes will still feel like California

Northwest Cougar

7/24/21 8:34am

Right. 😔

idacoug

7/24/21 8:35am

Yea have fun with that extra 12% of state taxes

Chefcurry

7/24/21 8:36am

Plus higher gas, property, sales, utilities and any other tax they can hide

Nat Gas Man

7/24/21 8:37am

9.3%, but whose counting. Going from 0 to 9.3 is a kick in the shorts.

idacoug

7/24/21 8:39am

Hopefully getting a pay bump that may cover that amount?

TheLoneCougar

7/24/21 8:43am

Hopefully. I'd say goodbye to a job if they were transferring me into a pay cut

Quite the commute.

Chasicle

7/24/21 8:36am

Not too bad. No traffic. Tehachapi is a major commuter town to Bakersfield

Those "good things" people were lying to you.

That part of California is less liberal but freaking hot and dry

Turnpike Lane

7/24/21 8:41am

Tehachapi is 4000 ft. Elevation

idacoug

But no trees to enjoy the colors.

There are a lot of trees there.

Sounds like the butthole of California.

It is. I think Edwards AFB is awful and ugly. Antelope valley is better than

HarlemCoug

San Francisco is great. I’d rather go to Hell than Bakersfield.

TCuz

7/24/21 9:06am

There is a reason many people live in tehachapi and commute to Bakersfield.

idacoug

Your misread the command to “Flee Babylon. Flee to Zion.” 😉

Choke

You would rather drive 10 hrs a week then live in Palmdale?

claw

7/24/21 8:52am

100%. Lots of people do it.quality of life is greater in tehachapi in every way

idacoug

So in a few years, now you can be one of THOSE Californians moving to and

Nat Gas Man

Vegas will be in the rear view mirror the rest of my life.

For that commute to Edwards you could just live in Santa Clarita. Way better.

valleus

7/24/21 8:56am

Santa Clarita is much further, way more expensive, and LA county.

idacoug

7/24/21 8:58am

North Santa Clarita is 2-3 min longer commute than Tehachapi.

valleus

7/24/21 9:09am

You are right about distance. We want country life. Bought 2 acres with a barn

idacoug

7/24/21 9:11am

I would have picked Tehachapi over Santa Clarita as well

bluelands

7/24/21 9:21am

I didn’t have a choice. I work for the military and signed a mobility agreement

idacoug

7/24/21 9:26am

You will enjoy. We lived in Inland Empire for ten years

bluelands

7/24/21 9:33am

Yes! I was just thinking a goal is to do a kings canyon backpacking trip

idacoug

You're golden then. I've got a friend that lives out there with a similar set up...Stallion Springs area....I dig it.

I guess we’ll see where we are at in about 2-3 years. You live near Sacramento?

That was my first reaction as well. Honestly though

Welcome you know what they say. One life gives you lemons...

I have a great recommendation on where to get your truck slammed if you want it.

The infamous Tehachapi Loop.

Why move? Was there a gun to your head or something? 😜

I lived at Edwards for three years. Tehacapi is nice. Go to Conans bakery.
