We warned him, but hey, the area he's going is kinda rural and nice. Unfortunately, it's the Capite censi to the South he'll have to worry about.

i.e, guys like me.

I'm from Texas and Andrea is from New York. So we've been around and seen pretty much everything. Between the two of us we've lived in 51 cities/towns and 5 countries in the past 30 years. But together we've shared the same recent 6 towns and 2 countries. I've always had a rule that if you go to or want to go on vacation to a certain place don't EVER live there. You will never have the correct mindset to live there. Neither of us has ever wanted to vacation in CA.

We've only been to CA for work or stuck there on layovers. But, have got to experience the cities and we'd never live there, EVER!

But, Redding and the northern NorCal area are completely different than the central and south CA city areas. It has a Oregon and Washington feel to it. More outdoor life than anything. In the woods camping, fishing or hiking in a matter of minutes. Beautiful scenery and wildlife and the people are not what you know or expect of CA.

Welcome to The State of Jefferson..!! :clap:
 
I grew up in that area (Dunsmuir / Mt. Shasta) and love it, especially the wheeling. As long as you stay say north of Sacramento, you'll be fine and it's affordable to live there compared to so-cal. Redding has gone down hill in recent years, but you can easily live outside of town and not deal with the B.S. East side of town out 299 towards whiskey town lake is pretty rural, I lived out there as a kid. Good luck with the move

Thanks for the notes. We have already gotten worn out on the North/NorthEast side... We like simple and slow and this area is where everyone wants to be. We are ANTI-Starbucks, malls, outlet/strip mall shopping and a majority of the national chains (Walmart in particular)

The homeless issue is a problem for some but, as long as they don't mess with us I'm fine and won't have to turn into a early morning vigilante retaliator.... :poof: Its not near as bad as some places we visited, especially Chico. We have a large Union Pacific rail yard and have dealt with the growing transients population here for the past 9 years.

Its cheaper to live and rent/own house and shop in Redding than it is in WY. Same shop size and amenities would be 5 times more in WY (approx. $6-8,000.00 per month and they'd want a 3-5 year lease) I got my shop for 1450.00 with a month to month lease and all utilities paid. Housing rent is about the same but to buy or build is about 30-40% cheaper in Redding. Health insurance, business and personal property premiums are less in Redding as well.

I would like to build on a few acres. Just need to find that property and this will be on our priority list once we are there full time and can scout out the area better. Main thing on this is the water/well situation and internet signals. I can run TT from the shops internet, but Andrea downloads large amounts for her work (up to 6-7 GB per day sometimes) so this is a major concern with any new/rural area for us.

But, if all works right, we will have the Redding shop running from late Aug - April and then move to a secondary home on the coast for cooler weather, shipping from a secondary stocked warehouse on "in-stock only" items (no building during this time) and fish the summers away and travel.

It'll take a year or two to figure it all out, but the plan is set.
