Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

Bagels.

 

No doubt some good things, but I always have to ask myself (with anything) at what cost? To me not worth it. Ymmv.

 

What's up TW?
Recently moved to the peninsula (Brisbane) from Arizona. I'm driving a 97 4 banger with 220k. Any meet ups / shows in the area?

 

i do enjoy being right in between everything. Although the prices are insane to live here long term. I dont plan to leave but it would be nice to be able to save more because of less taxes elsewhere.

 

I was just about to post mine on CL, but i have a set of 265/65/17 with the TRD sport wheels that I'm trying to sell

 

Negatives about cali
No water

Traffic

Positives:
Family and friends are here
mountians, valleys, ocean, desert, forests

 

It would be nice to save some more money, but it's just an economic fact of supply and demand. People have a demand to live in this state, the state/local governments control the taxes on supply, and property values reflect the high demand for limited supply. Can't do much about that in a capitalist society

 

Monfuckingtana is calling my name

 

sadly. Im already "established" here so i can deal with it. But if i were to be moving into the state, i dont see how i could survive being fresh into CA.

 

A whole lotta moola!

 

I'm "established" here as well. But there's only so much bullshit I can put up with. I don't live to have the shit taxed out of me, over-regulated, and told what's best for me.

I might be a little extreme on that but I for the lost part leave people alone and want to be left alone as well. If it weren't for the scenery and 4 seasons, I wouldn't live here.

 

honestly cant think of a time where the gov has really limited me on how i want to live or what i do.

 

Welcome to TW! Haven't heard of any meet ups coming though. Perhaps other members know.

 

^^^ 3 seasons lately. Been about 4 years since the last winter.

 

That's probably because you pay along the way. If you don't pay, the govt will limit you. Don't pay car registration, or income taxes, or property tax and anything else that involves a fee or tax and see what happened.

 

2009/10 nov-January was the last good snow storm I saw there...

 

Why wouldn't I pay them? Follow the guidelines and nobody gets hurt. I don't see the issue with paying registration like I need to or taxes. Failing to see your point.

You'd like to not pay anything and keep receiving the luxury of everything?

 

I pay for everything... Smog checks, recycling fees( paint, tv, cans, bottles, packeges, condoms), annual long and short gun certificates, extra tax on acohol, additives in my gas, 6 dollars to cross a bridge, paying registration on a midsize truck that is considered commercial for some reason, paying to register guns that have been in my family for generations, paying crazy high property taxes even though my city has no librarys, police stations, fire stations, high schools.

Or the best one I have recently learned... We have a house in the Tahoe basin.. It's called the green belt or something...
We can't have a true wood burning stove but since we are in placer county I can register my cars there and be smog exempt...

Go figure.....

Oh and I then can get a burn permit and have a fire outside...
