Relocating: Small, leftist affordable town?
Hey there,
We are currently Denverites, wanting to relocate to a smaller (not tiny!) town in California that has a strong Leftist, Democratic, Liberal, Peacenik, *****, Hippie element but is still affordable. Are there any? Within 1 hour of beach would be nice, and not desert climate -- that's a big part of why we want to move. Two young kids in tow, good (public/charter) schools are a plus.

How about the People's Republic of Bolinas. Don't know how affordable it is. Bolinas 2 Miles (broken link). Might be hard to find since the locals keep taking down direction signs along the highway to keep people out  . |

What line of work are you in? (Where can you work?)
What is your rent budget or housing price range? |

Bolinas is not affordable. Try Humboldt County, Eureka, Arcata, McKinleyville. Right on ocean, certainly not a desert!

Leftist and affordable? That's funny. Leftists tend to pass laws that restrict building and heavily regulate (adding costs) to what building they do allow. Less supply + added costs = not affordable. Enjoy!
