Thanks to everyone for the information.  I plan to be out there in July and will check out these various areas.

Santa Paula and Fillmore - A very agrarian area.  Lemon and orange trees.

Main artery - Hwy 126 goes E / W from N/S Hwy 101 to Santa Clarita.  It “T’s” into N/S Hwy 5.  Older homes but beautiful drive from Moorpark (Hwy 23) to Fillmore to Santa Clarita.  Santa Paula has a private airport.  No Control tower.  Von Dutch’s last days were spent there as well as Steve McQueen’s. 

Hwy 126 is fast and rather dangerous but no “blood alley.”  Just every so often.  Very little E/W traffic.

Moorpark is nice, much newer (1980’s) and centrally located between Hawthorne (home of the Beach Boys) and Santa Barbara.  At 4 a.m. its one hour from Moorpark to LAX.  At 4 p.m. its fourteen hours.  (approx.)  Terri and lived in Moorpark (named after the Moorpark peach) for 25 years.  Great Amtrak commuter to downtown L.A.  Recommend that over the 126 towns.

Just my opinion blah blah blah

On Santa Paula and Fillmore, do they have flooding issues due to being at the foot of a mountain and on a river?

I'm in Santa Barbara, and agree with the smog dissertation.... it is nice to be able to see the mountains when I lived in Hermosa Beach.

 

As far as affordable, you might look at Lompoc, Buellton, Los Alamos, slightly closer than Orcutt and Vandenberg, and then Santa Maria - slightly farther away.  Give or take the nearly continuous coastal fog in May and June comment the average temperature in these places is going to be about 68° year round

 

All these cities are going to be approximately two and a half hours from Santa Monica.

 

Slightly closer would be Santa Paula, Fillmore, Moorpark which also avoids the coastal fog and get much hotter (probably 110deg last summer)

No, he works in Hawthorne and lives in Santa Monica.  What do you think of Vandenberg Village and Orcutt?  Desolate but affordable, it seems.

Kalifornia?  Who lives in such a place?  The cereal state?  Land of nuts and flakes?

The Eagles wouldn’t write a No. 1 hit song about any other.

Ahem – we do.  Thousand Oaks.  45 miles NW of the Los Angeles impact zone.

Kalifornia is a state that you can drive all day long . . . and still be in Kalifornia.

Why the “K”?  Well Kalifornia came up with special laws like emissions and taxes imposed on the residents.

In many ways Kalifornia was responsible for emission laws.  It wasn’t that long ago there were “49 state” cars then Kalifornia only.

It was/is the tail that wags the dog . . . emission wise . . .car sale wise . . . world wide.

In retrospect – not a bad thing.  As youngster, I recall days that looked like London Fog – but it was emissions and take a deep breath and your chest would hurt.  Smoke + Fog = Smog.  The only time you could see Mt. Wilson looking north from Inglewood under the LAX flight path is the day it rained.  Then Mt. Wilson disappeared again.  Now?  You can see it anytime from the same vantage point.

Or you could look at this way – forcing science to come up cleaner emission made way for tricks that allow 900 hp out 4 liters , , , for a street machine.

Look on any older cars emission plate . . . something like “complies with all states AND California.”

So there’s the Teutonic spelling.  Rob lives another 30 miles or so up Hwy101.

So go to your grocery store, go to the cereal isle, look at all the flavors and types of nuts and flakes, and those are the areas you can choose to live.

We like it here – a lot of retired air line pilots do too.

So you son works in Santa Monica – but where does he live?

Onward

Doug

Having observed the sanity levels on this list I am somewhat hesitant to ask this question but here it goes.  Who here lives in CA?  I suspect there are several..

 

My son moved out there a little over a year ago.  I am going to give him three years to see if he is going to stay there.  If so, I will likely move out there to be closer to him.  So I am starting to research areas.  I don't mind downsizing and I already live a pretty simple life but, still, I need to be able to survive the cost of living at the tail end of my working years and through retirement.  My son works at SpaceX and lives in Santa Monica.  No way am I going to pay those prices.  So I am looking north and south of LA.  I hate extreme heat and my wife hates cold so the desert is out.
