Worst case scenario, we foreclose. If things get that bad, I'd likely have more things to worry about such as nuclear war or smallpox pandemic.
porkchopexpress saysShe's just confident I would always have a high-paying job. The fact is I'm in a very high demand technology field and would likely always have a job, so I'm fairly confident I'd be earning.I know, but can I continue to live my life that way? I want to own and I'm so tired of renting for so many goddamn years, but we all know the markets are fucking nuts and we're SO due for a recession.
That's an angle. Ask her what would happen if the job market tanked.

Nobody knows where to pay for a fake jab? Maybe a local clinic in a poorer part of town.
I'd take my kids out of school for a year and eat beans every night before having them take those shots. Your wife sounds like the type who would blame you either way. If you let them have shots, and their health suffers from it, she will blame you. If you insist they don't take the shots, she'll blame you for the results to a few life conveniences and opportunities. Whining and shrieking AFTER the fact of the jabs is too little too late. Also, there is a serious ethical question about how you deal with your own children knowing what you know when you let them take the jab but you had the opportunity to spare them.

File for a religious exemption. I think it's the best path forward.I've thought about that. I did it for my new job and avoided the jab, but I'm not sure how CA schools would take an exemption, but it's definitely an option.

Is it a hard number? I'd think that you may be able to lower it, perhaps a lot, without sacrificing your current living conditions. Or is it not so?Look at Franklin and Brentwood, specifically houses zoned to Ravenwood HS or Brentwood HS.
Everyone is bidding up homes like crazy. One is listed for $1.35M and has been bid up to $1.6M just in the first weekend. It’s nuts.

He admits interest rates are rising, but he doesn't entirely believe that's going to drive prices down...granted, he's a realtor.Your filter is for sold homes. For sale? Much different story.

In that case, here's what I think.
Instead of move vs. stay issue, reframe it into buy vs. rent issue in which move vs. stay is a smaller variable. This is your starter home, right? You do not currently own in California, right? This bit is important. Because prop 13 and other whatnots which make it more difficult to leave if you already dropped an anchor here.
If you haven't dropped that proverbial anchor, and you expect that this house will be a substantial part of your wealth, then look for a market with biggest growth potential. California is not longer that IMHO. It's expensive in California, and it still goes up, but so does inflation. Many markets nationwide way outperform CA in terms of growth. I just learned that Nashville is one of them.
If you look to buy, and that house is a substantial part of your net worth, and your employment doesn't depend on you being in San Diego, then moving is totally justified. Financially, that is. With or without your vaccine concerns.
Now, weather is a different thing. Leaving San Diego would be tough. Because weather.

As someone who has moved out of state before, that's is patently stupid, but don't say that. You don't know the area, and no matter how much research you do, you won't have enough info to buy before you move. Rent for at least a year so you can have an idea of where you want to buy, then buy.
On the last point, alot of people thought it wouldn't crash in '08. If economy doesn't crash this year, I'd be really surprised. Too many indicators that it will. I've been passively looking at El Centro and Yuma, and I actually see rents starting to stabilize, or go down. Have you considered Yuma as an alternative? 2.5 hours away, and Arizona has no shot mandate. Although neither does California. What's currently in place requires FDA approval, which seems really doubtful given what's transpired. There is another bill that wouldn't require FDA approval introduced in January, but I haven't heard that's passed, and again, seems doubtful.
You will save money if you move, but it's an adjustment, so make sure you're doing it for the right reasons, things that will actually impact you.

In that case, here's what I think.We don't own a house, so no Prop 13 anchor. We also have no family here. The only thing keeping us here is inertia, weather, and our kids being in a high school that they like. So as you can see, leaving California shouldn't be a huge hit to us.

We're not really interested in AZ...too, too dry. We need to have a sizeable city and int'l airport max 30-45 minutes away.
I agree on feeling like there's a crash coming. We're even seeing signs in the stock market. I just wish I could wait a year and see what happens, but this fucking mandate. Plus, it's much harder to move my kids with only a year left in school vs now where they have 2-3 years left in HS. So, it's either move this Summer or wait until they're done with HS in order to minimize the damage to them socially.
porkchopexpress saysCalifornia has a mandate for 16y/o or older. They're just waiting on FDA approval for younger, which I believe will happen since they're all corrupt anyway.

We looked in '11, but even then, couldn't go see a house, think about it, then make an offer. We won't be rushed into buying, so we passed. Don't regret it at all. We've been able to choose how much to spend or save, never had to pay for repairs, and are paying one of the lowest rents we've ever paid, in Alpine, which I love WAY more than the city. We've used the extra money to put our daughter in a private school that didn't require a mask all year, sent her to camp to make up for her missing it last year(awesome!), and have taken trips to Florida, Arizona, and Michigan. And we're going to Big Sur in April.
Don't spend so much on housing you never have money for living.

Novavax announced their Phase 3 trial success (pediatric expansion) for kids 12 and up in February, they will apply for authorization in this quarter. If your kids are old enough or your wife can wait til they're 12, then you can go with that jab as a much safer alternative, in case you can't convince her to move out of state and must jab.

Are you planning to rent until you die? Rents ever increase, a mortgage stays the same or goes down if you refinance. Meanwhile your house value went through the moon in the last 14 years. Your mortgage on that 2011 house price would be a joke compared to your rent in 2022. I am sry man. Thats a really sad story.

With all thats going on in CA the vax mandates were not even our biggest concern when we bailed. I just didn't want my kids growing up there. The writing is on the walls and if there are any failures in the US CA will be one of the ground zeros.
With mandates in CA is it also enforced with private schools?
komputodo saysporkchopexpress saysI didn't mean to seem like it's an insurmountable problem, just a tough situation to be in. It'll get it figured out, but I wanted advice from other smart brains. Personally, I'd just rather get out of dodge instead of finagling the tyrannical system in CA. If it's not one thing, it'll be another. And who knows what CA will do when we have our next plandemic, which we all know is going ...For once in my life? No need to be a dick about it, but thanks for the idea.
well you act like its an insurmountable problem like metastasized cancer in your whole body....hell, this vax thing is hardly a speedbump...if you are uncomfortable asking around, get one of your buddies to do it..i'd find a POC nurse in a poorer clinic......one that could use another $1000 cash.....theres a lot of those

When you have children, this is your most important motivator in life. I have paid some price while raising my 2 girls. I will always know that I did the best I could for them because I put their wellbeing first. No, I did not do everything the right way but I know my intentions and actions were always believed, at the time, to be the right decision.
WineHorror1 saysI feel very bad for you. Seriously, good luck.Thanks man. I think about the shit going down around the world and my problems are miniscule. I just have to keep things in perspective, and ensure that my sons getting the jab is an absolutely dealbreaker no matter which path we go down.

I think when you leave CA, you'll feel significantly less stressed and be blown away at how different the world is, vs how California perceives it lol.
Franklin TN is suppose to be a good area. I have friends out that way and they love it. Food in Nashville is outstanding too! Check out Chattanooga as well. Smaller city, cool area and probably a bit cheaper.
Buy now or catch a falling knife if it collapses? That's a tough one. We have been looking for a second home and have seen things flatine and have been seeing price cuts where we are looking in Florida. It's stupid expensive right now, and most of my friends are just sitting on the fence right now as they are beginning to refuse to participate.
For what it's worth, my bro in law is a realtor. He is trying to convince my parents to sell now, rent and then buy again when it gets cheaper. My parents are staying out but I wonder if even he sees a crash coming.

Check out Maryville, TN, a suburb of Knoxville. Vonore, and thereabouts if you want to live near the water.

Why is the alternative a 1.4M home in TN?
If that's what houses cost there now I wouldn't move.
Did I miss something here? No way local fundamentals support that type of price for an average house in Nashville.
So, I'm stuck between stretching ourselves a bit to buy a $1.4M home in Nashville area,

If denied you can sue, I believe. Buys you more time. Eventually this coof shit will be forgotten and there will be much less zeal to enforce these mandates.
RWSGFY saysFile for a religious exemption. I think it's the best path forward.I've thought about that. I did it for my new job and avoided the jab, but I'm not sure how CA schools would take an exemption, but it's definitely an option.

What about home-school? At least they'd still get to see their friends.We can't. My wife is going to school remotely and has zero desire to home school them.

Private schools would be much more receptive to religious exemption requests. Especially Christian.

Then wait for the housing bubble to pop before leaving.

We all decided that the Nashville area (i.e., Franklin/Brentwood) is where we'd all agree to move this Summer, but the house prices are INSANE. We've only ever rented and she will NOT agree to moving to another rental; she wants to buy. So, I'm stuck between stretching ourselves a bit to buy a $1.4M home in Nashville area, or staying in our current rental but making our boys get the vaccine to stay in school. My boys are already bummed about the thought of switching high schools, so they'd be willing to get the vaccine to stay in their current school. I feel like I'm alone in fighting against the easier path, which is clearly staying put in our current place until they finish school.
What would you guys do?
P.S. Given the no state income tax and the down payment I've saved up, I could theoretically make a $1.4M work but it's beyond what I'd prefer to pay. I'm also scared shitless that housing is going to crash, but what if it doesn't?
