    Quoted from xsvtoys:

    Basically, it’s around 70-75 here about 340 days a year. It’s around 100 or so maybe 15 days. On the other 10 days it rains.

    Well you can't really ask for much better than that...

    Quoted from PtownPin:

    Your not wrong....in the Bay Area land is whats really expensive...empty .25+ acre lots (which is a big lot for a new home) sell for over $1M in my area...and then if u want to build a custom home your talking $300-$400 a square foot....it adds up pretty quick....areas that are close to job centers, and have good schools are pricey. That being said there are many parts of California that are far less expensive. My buddy in Utah has a nice home thats 4K square feet and he paid $400K....he laughs at our home pricing.

    Utah is nice. They have dinosaur fossils and tracks, Zion National Park... You want to have some fun? Day trip to Vegas...

    Quoted from xsvtoys:

    We appreciate it. Unfortunately rain isn’t going to happen. Later in October is when the rain will show up, if it decides to come.
    The best we can hope for in SoCal is that the Santa Ana winds do NOT make their appearance. Unfortunately they are due. If you get a combo of high temps and the Santa Ana winds together then that is when true hellfire comes.

    Here in Florida it has been raining every f'n day for the last 4 months and I've seen way too many tornado warnings for my liking. I wouldn't trade you, but I don't really enjoy this. I should move to Asheville.

    Quoted from Elvishasleft:

    Ashville floods all the time...

    Even Tryon? Like high up on a mountain?

    Quoted from Elvishasleft:

    Oh I dont know, Im not a geologist I just know that area has flood issues.
    I was there years ago on a golf trip and towns were impassable in some areas after a good rain.

    I would not be in a valley. Up in the mountains with those awesome views is where I'd be. Tryon was kinda neat . It was like BF North Carolina but with waterfalls and horses. Spartanburg just down the road and Hendersonville/Asheville just up the road. And all in all a pretty temperate climate.

    Quoted from ralphwiggum:

    Fun fact, what you are experiencing is the bounce back effect. People from the north move to Florida, find out it gets really hot, and then bounce back up a bit to the mountains of NC. My family moved from Florida to Hendersonville NC when I was in college, and there are tons of Florida relocates all over the western part of the state.

    I believe it. I was mostly in Virginia as a child and loved it. Go fishing whenever I wanted. Go hiking or fossil/arrowhead hunting. It was great. Move to Florida and it's sand, palmettos, and heat/humidity. As a teenager I was glad to be in Florida vs. BF Virginia, but as a kid I hated it. I'm just tired of the f'n humidity and crazy weather. Florida does have nice, flat, pot hole free highways though.

    Man that just looks apocalyptic! I wish those folks could get our rain. This is the first rain free day I've had in awhile, but more to come tomorrow.

    I think the way it works in California, they get the fires out, then it rains so much they have mudslides and flooding. F that!

    Quoted from Blitzburgh99:

    Is that what makes the drivers so horrible? They love clogging up the passing lane. Gotta drive like Frogger to get anywhere in decent time.

    It's a combination of all the old timers and the folks who drive like they are playing Frogger

    Interesting article on climate change in the US.

    Quoted from IdahoRealtor:

    I don't find propaganda interesting at all.

    I don't take that article as fact, but I do take it as a possibility based on science. You immediately take it as propaganda, and that kinda says it all doesn't it?

    Quoted from fosaisu:

    So now the climate scientists are selling carbon credits?

    To the Russians I bet, or maybe ANTIFA? They do need to offset the carbon from all those forest fires...
