2025 - Our Rides in Words, Photos, Maps and Videos

If it’s any consolation, Bob, it seems every region in the US has its “nature livability" issues…

Fair enough, though earthquakes are unique among natural disasters in that even the biggest strike utterly without warning.

When we closed on our current coastal SoCal home, one of the 20+ documents we had to sign was an environmental hazard disclosure specific to the property. Among the checked boxes were earthquakes, landslides, wildfires, tsunamis, flash floods, the occasional West Coast hurricane, and unexploded ordnance from WWII activities at a nearby airport.

The final item, and I kid you not: The high total property tax.

Holy Cow Jeremy, I guess living in paradise comes with excess baggage!

Yup, you surely pay for the privilege of (mostly) great weather down there, Jeremy! Yeah, property tax… The good news for you (trying to look on the bright side) is that if you ever decide to move, you can probably go anywhere.
