Do not buy any property in SF or the immediate surrounding, the leftoids have destroyed this city.
The amount of homelessness I've experienced in CA is staggering compared to anywhere I've ever traveled. Austin has its gutter punks and other homeless (I'm sure they're enjoying it now....lol) is about the closest. Seattle actually is close too. Didn't stop in Portland summer of 2019 and hadn't been since I was a kid. I know that's probably just as bad.

Definitely not claiming IL is better. $$$$$ speaks loudly though. I'd hit the 13% progressive income tax in CA. It's a flat 4.75% here in IL after deductions. My monthly nut is $1,200/mo PITI. Same house in CA and everything else the same I'd easily be approaching $4k/mo. Sure there's potential appreciation, but Uhaul rates are showing otherwise on a level I haven't seen. People are leaving in droves at this point.
Work aside, I can travel to CA one week a month with the income tax savings alone for a year in my situation. So 2-3 months of visiting? Factor in the cost of living and I've got even more money. I've researched the hell out of this as we looked into moving out there very seriously. Income in CA for white collar jobs is no different than any other part of the country. It simply isn't. ...
