Tehachapi is a nice quality of life compared to the rest of the surrounding area.

Well, I’m moving to California

idacoug

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

Northwest Cougar

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

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

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

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

Tehachapi is 4000 ft. Elevation

But no trees to enjoy the colors.

There are a lot of trees there.

Sounds like the butthole of California.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

bluelands

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

The infamous Tehachapi Loop.
