I wouldn't leave SoCal. I grew up in N.Y. which is nice but there is no better weather and economy than SoCal. Most folks I know that left wanted to come back but can't because now they cant afford the homes they used to own. The weather here is the absolute best. Try living in a real winter for a year and you will be real sorry you left. Not sure what area you live
In but there are many different areas from city to suburbs, rural farm land, mountains, beach, yuppie, bohemian, you name it. Do your homework because leaving is generally a lot easier than coming back.
