I had to leave my home city I loved so much just because of all of the international business tourists buying up properties and jacking up prices...Atleast in PARTS of California they have a resident law.

A resident law? Please explain.

Yeah, really!! Who revived this old thread, that's long forgotten by its own creator?

Ah, but people are still searching for the Nirvana they imagine CA to be.

[Crystal is a mess]

Any city in California can be affordable.

. Now that I left Connecticut and have spent two and a half years basically homeless [ exception: Kiowa, CO in Oct. 2010] and, on the fourth trip west, ended up in this basically ugly desert dust bowl called Las Cruces; I tell my friend back in Avon [ Collinsville] that Connecticut is basically nice! The scenery cannot be beat; nothing here in this so-called " Land of Enchantment" really rivals Connecticut. Well maybe up in Gila or Lincoln National Forest's highest elevations or surrounding Santa Fe; Santa Fe is awesome killer, artsier than artsy [ similar to Kent, Chester, Woodstock, or Stonington[ Mystic], CT], more liberal perhaps; but like Connecticut's nicer small towns, EXPENSIVE! The cities suck in Connecticut; well Danbury's okay and Bridgeport's Black Rock, Stamford rocks; Torrington-relatively conservative, decent, but now somewhat artsy, same for Putnam. The downside, people in Connecticut seem to be in one big hurry, frustrating on the still-rural back highways/roads; fine on the freeways and parkways. A plus side, lesbian women [ and gay men] can marry in Connecticut since Oct. 12, 2008. Another plus: People are far more educated in CONNECTICUT than in most of New Mexico! The " Land of Enchantment" has a H.S. Graduation reading and math comprehension level of just 17-percent average! And yes, the state's university/community college system [ like NMSU!] is falling apart; thanks to Gov. Susana "Banana" Martinez-Republican right wing moron who's plan for " Creating jobs in New Mexico" is to take away $5,000 per higher education student; offering it to any corporation willing to move to Nuevo México. Corporations and jobs, Susana? Like Walmart at $7.50 starting wage, perhaps? Or maybe more field hands to pick the chilies and not know how to grow them, exactly? [ because the Lottery Scholarship funds were diverted from NMSU's Agricultural Bioscience programs to luring Walmart's Duke Walton with " lavish gifts" from our highly-intelligent Governor Martinez!]

It was Clear Lake, or Lake Almador, I believe; Westwood, CA.
