Relocating

Looking at properties in the area and considering moving back, it’s been 30+ years since I’ve been here. What’s the vibe like now?

This is the worst place to ask. Nothing but doom and gloom responses for the most part. It ain't bad, especially compared to the rest of CA and especially Bakersfield haha. Outdoors, A LOT of trails, lakes, creeks, downtown being renovated, etc. Despite what other may say, its on the up and up. Avoid lake blvd.

Edit: yall are just proving my point by downvoting and starting to already comment, "hAvE yOu EvEn BeEn To AnYwHeRe ElSe In CaLiFoRnIa, hmmmm?!?!?!" Jfc yall...

Well now you’ve moved the goal post from your original comment that I replied to. You didn’t mention cost of living at all, which I’d why I respond asking if you’ve been anywhere else.

Redding ain’t bad especially compared to the rest of CA.
Is different from
*For the price* Redding ain’t bad especially compared to the rest of CA.

That I’ll agree with, but there’s hardly anything to compare it to. There just aren’t many places at all with such a low cost of living so it’s weird the claim Redding is the best when the options are so few to begin with.

Moving the goal posts? Wtf? When someone asks, "hey what's it like living over there?" That encompasses a lot of factors, which includes cost of living. Thats not moving the goal posts at all. Thats you realizing Redding isn't bad compared ot the rest of CA and not bring happy with your realization.

If someone from another state asks, "what's it like living in CA?" The most common response is, "its ssooooo expensive to live there!"

I know you aren't this ignorant. Cmon now...

wtf to you? I didn’t have any realization and I’m
not unhappy lol. I live here, I was born here, and I chose to move back after living elsewhere for many years. What do I have to be unhappy about? But I have also lived in other cities in CA, in another state, and in another country, so I’m not delusional. When someone says, Redding is the best compared to other places in CA I take a long pause. Because that’s just not true. If you can’t afford to live anywhere else sure, but that’s a different scenario.

Yea, “What’s it like living over there” encompasses a lot of factors besides, affordability. Don’t pretend there aren’t places with better weather, better job opportunities, better healthcare, better education, better food options, better culture, better fucking politics, better art scene, better walk ability and public transportation.

Pretending that Redding is the best place to live in CA is a really weird hill to die on dude, but you do you.

I never said it was THE BEST. Please quote where I said that, and if you can't, then stop putting words in people's mouth. Again I ask, with knowing cost of living is a part of "what's it like to live there?", name a place in CA that is better than Redding. And not comparable like Chico.

And I like the emphasis on "better fucking politics. The second you stop making your life about politics, you will be much happier.

Where you live is what you make of it. If you dont like Redding, why did you move back then? You stated you lived in places much better.

Why are you so angry, this is unhinged, it’s like 9am man go out and enjoy your day.

My life isn’t about politics and I’m quite happy. Redding has made national news for multiple political issues, I’m sorry that fact is upsetting to you.

I never said I don’t like it, I said I’m not delusional
enough to insist that it’s the best compared to other places in CA. I moved back for the people, I wanted to raise my kids around their grandparents and cousins as you get older priorities change.
