I say start planning on moving to LA and also start planning on getting a divorce. Your husband sounds like a racist jerk.

Oh wait and what a treat. The guy has a drinking problem? Lots of other great guys out there who love California and aren't drunks.

I have friends in San Diego and they love me and we had such good times there (some of the BEST memories in my life!!). My husband (I got married after I moved to the east coast) hates LA (crowds and Mexicans) and so I was thinking maybe Burbank or even San Diego (I like screenwriting but I have absolutely no illusions that CA will help me with that. In fact I'm pretty sure that I'll retire a secretary). So, not sure what to do. I saw American History X and it scared the hell out of me since I'm Asian. Looks like neo nazism is on the rise in CA. My husband has been yelling at me about MS13 which is some scary racist gang in CA. He thinks I am completely stupid for wanting to move to CA. He may have a point. But I don’t like FL. NM is horribly hot in summer and so’s AZ. I’m not getting younger, and I need to move to a warm climate while I’m still relatively young. I mean, if moving sucks, it will be ten times worse when I’m old. Any thoughts?
well let me tell you a couple of things:1-if he hates hispanics, do not move to Calif. You will end up divorced or tegether and miserable. and 2-NM isn't hot at all in the summer unless you live in Southern NM. If you live near Albuquerque or north it probably has the best weather and still seasonal changes of anywhere in the country. Yes, the temps climb to the 90s, even 100 a few times a year (rarely) but it is dry. If there is anything I miss about NM it is the beautiful weather, but if hubby hates Mexiacans they are in NM as well. MOst are very different than what you will get in So CA but they are still Hispanic.

Considering only the geographic location and not the relationship issues, has the OP thought about Hawaii or pehaps inland Northern California? Hawaii has that warm year round climate that is yearned for, and NorCal cities such as Redding and Chico are downright hot.

he says that me wanting to move to LA is because I am having a mid life crisis. Am I? I just love CA and the sun and I'm getting old and it's cold here and you live only once. I was just so happy there. maybe it's just me thinking the grass is greener.
I think you both need to sit down and understand where each is coming from: he hates Mexicans, he doesn't want to move to Ca, you keep talking about how old you are getting, he says you are going through a mid life crisis(that doesn't sould old to me) Somehow I see more family concerns than just were to live.

One thing is missing that is really important. Has he ever been to LA and more importantly recently. If he hasn't maybe you should take a trip and hit a bunch of different locations. Maybe even different cities. To me it sounds like he is ignorant.

It's not crazy to want to move to LA, but it's not crazy to not want to move to LA.

Although in my opinion his reasons are a bit strange.
