        I enjoyed my time there but I won’t move back. The state is in a meltdown phase. Too expensive, too much crime, too much everything negative.

        I was in the bay area for 12 years.

            I am in a blue state, but thinking of retiring. I am considering moving to Flordia. I am 50 and with the way the blue states want to increase taxes, it’s just better to retire and let them ponder where all the tax revenue went.
