Really what I want to find is the phonecia, new york of california. Anyone? And is it possible to throw in a Whole Foods within 30 mile driving distance? Thanks y'all!!!
If you want to minimize the fog and rain, then I would suggest Southern California. I don't think there are many towns with under 2000 people. 30 years ago, you might have had more luck. California is mostly just one sprawling mass of people. I'd probably recommend places such as San Clemente, Rancho Santa Fe, Camarillo, La Quinta, Indian Wells, Simi Valley, Moorpark.

Also, Valley Springs. No stop lights yet. Just a four way stop. Two really good grade schools. Country living within a 40 min drive to Metro Areas. Valley Springs is in the Gold Country, Oak covered foothills. 30 minutes from Jackson, Angels Camp (Home of the frog jumps). Valley Springs homes are mostly on 1/2 arce or bigger lots. Right now homes are really cheap. You can get a brand new home on a half acre for around $230,000. You can get a track home in one of the few gated track areas for $200,000.
