Moved from Ventura/Santa Barbara to Palm Beach FL, due to the alot of shortcomings that California has faced. Witnessing several overdoses outside my condo near the beach was the final straw for me. Too heavy to be around. I still miss the contrast of the beach and mountains, but since after the Pandemic, things just didn't feel the same in California. I hope things can turn around in but it seems like there are issues that stem from the highest offices of government and go beyond the issue of homelessness.
Palm Beach is pretty cool, West Palm Beach/Jupiter area reminds me a lot of Santa Barbara. West Palm Beach to Miami is about the same distance from Ventura to LA. You get a lot of the benefits of Miami without being directly in the madness. A lot of young professionals working in Finance and Tech in Miami are moving to West Palm because of the new BrightLine train that goes from downtown WPB to downtown Miami.
I haven't really got out much and explored due to crazy workload, but want to start attending meet ups here and meet some people my age. A lot of the problems that I had with California, don't really exist, at least to the same degree, out here. It's pretty comfy.
