Amen, I lived in Nor Cal for 42 years and will only go there to visit("too expensive")! My sister lived about 5 miles from the Richmond Oil Refinery and the price of gas was Two $$$-dollars a gallon more than it was in Arizona. As the saying goes "Its a nice place to visit but wouldn't want to live there" holds true in this respect! Plus it's a two day drive anywhere in the state from Havasu!
