I really like it here where I am in Southern California. I have the beach 10 min away, the mountains less than an hour, Los Angeles and Hollywood is 35 min south of me if I want plays or night life, I have fresh fruits and vegetables grown around me all year round, the weather is perfect, not too hot, not too cold. Only thing is, it's expensive!
I would love to build a house on our property in Pagosa Springs Colorado and live there 5 months of the year to really be out in the country!
