What is it that particularly attracts you to northern California? Is there a way to replicate those experiences where you are?

AYRT—more than 10-15 inches (in a good year) of rain a year, redwoods, fog, family friends who still live up there, land is cheaper...

I’m down to 2 blood relatives, one in Phoenix, where much as I love him I’d rather saw off my head than move, and one nearby who I’d be sad to see less often. If I could make coastal southern California have the same climate as coastal northern California I totally would.

I’m used to most of the state catching fire every few years anyway; we’re hardly exempt down here. It’s just subdivisions and chaparral and oak and piñon pine woods burning instead of fir and redwoods and vineyards.

I’m on a 7,500 square foot lot and not much of it is house, but I was salivating over a 160 acre lot that included bluffs overlooking the ocean and a couple of springs. And then there was a 17 acre parcel with 2 springs and a bit of beach and the option of buying the adjacent 8 acre parcel with a 3 bedroom, 2 bath house with guest house.

I want an orchard and a huge garden and goats and a cow and alpacas and maybe a horse. My neighbors freak out about my legal chickens and they may not be thrilled when I finish my MLIS and reward myself with (also legal) goats, but here I can only have a pair. I want a herd. If I wanted to buy the same amount of land and house down here I’d be looking at $4 million+.

The 160 undeveloped acres was $995k and the house and beach lots combined were $1.5 million. It’s an insane amount of money, but despite my inherited house being ready to fall down, the house across the street from me on the same size lot went for $1.5 million two years ago. Only thing aside from my job and one relative keeping me from selling and splitting is that if I left I could never afford to move back.
