Why I want to move to California…

People ask me quite often why I want to move to California. The first thing that they normally spit at me is in regard to the cost of living, as if that is something to be feared. Apparently, the millions that live in California, failed to get that Memo. Even though I lived there under the Military, I experienced enough of the state to know that I wanted to live and grow there. Not only that, but it is one of the beacons for game development careers. With my dedication, motivation and passion, I’m confident that I will fit in well. But, one thing steps out in my mind for wanting to move there…

I love rain storms… But I will not miss the snow and ice. At least when you are in California, the snow doesn’t typically come to you, you go to it (big bear). But, yeah, I hate it, and pray to god this incoming storm doesn’t decide to kill my power, and/or my short Christmas break. Doesn’t look pretty, that is for sure. Est: .5 to 1″ ice + few inches of snow; 6PM tonight to 6PM tomorrow.

Anyway, off to code, while I have power. ;

    You could always move to Australia – most of our cities get no snow either (with the possible exception of Hobart). Although we don’t get a large amount of rain either…

    The great thing about Australia is that it ‘feels’ a lot like the U.S., which I really liked. If I ever did move out of the states, I would definitely go there. Great people (from what I experienced), and just a great atmosphere.

    I’m sacrificing the Rain. California seems to go between slightly rainy, and bone dry. That was one thing I missed while I was there (the thunderstorms in Kansas).
