Southern Oregon is probably better than Northern California.
The State of Jefferson would be a better option, (or Greater Idaho) but given those two choices, I'm guessing you're basing your opinion on the taxes. From what I know, California is horrible as far as state taxes are concerned. Is Oregon that much better?
All of those states aren't cheap anymore. Well affordability is relative but they all have terrible housing and energy costs.
I had an old camping buddy who got fed up with the cost of everything here in the states so the fucker pulled up his doormats, parked his camper at a generous friend's house and moved to Sri Lanka. Granted he picked a complete dump shithole but he says it's ungodly affordable (400 per month out the door) and he lives in a great spot.
i was looking at moving to redding ca on a whim.
income taxes were the same for me making about 50k a year at the time. i think some sales taxes are around 9%. i shit you not, a fifth of midshelf liquor was dirt cheap. like $13 - 17, at an overpriced drug store.
i heard its nothing but meth meth meth in the central valley.
also its ungodly hot.
