I’ve been sailing Misa all over the SF bay. Even up to Benicia and Vallejo. Spending some time with GF. Still looking for a new place to hang my hat. Hope to spend more time on Misa before I go back
Enjoying NorCal

Gorgeous!
Such lovely images. I'm so happy you're enjoying your time in the Bay Area. We are really lucky to be so blessed.

I've been thinking of buying some property in Northern California @Lily & @Seamajor .
Not San Francisco or the Bay Area.
Around the Redwoods area.
It's not very far from Vancouver. A person can get there in 1/2 a day.
Any recommended towns in that area?
Why is Northern Cal north of San Francisco near the Oregon border so inexpensive?
I've seen lots or properties there for less than $50,000.

Anything is more affordable than Vancouver...except maybe San Francisco..
Which I suspect is owned by the same people/money launderers/land hoarders aka China Inc

Is it true there is no sales tax in Oregon @Admin. ?
ar things much cheaper there?
If so do you get a lot of shoppers from neighboring states like California & Washington state coming in for weekend shopping?

Yes it is. Vancouver Washington for years has been considered a tax shelter for people that work in the Portland Metro Area, due to Washington State having a lower property tax rate, and since Oregon has no Sales Tax those same people would drive back over the bridge into Oregon to buy groceries and appliances and furniture etc, there is a large shopping mall on the oregon side that primarily serves SW Washington Residents....with the slow death of malls, it's not as busy as it once was though.

Joe, check out Sonoma county. Lots of it is expensive, but there are pockets that are reasonable. I’m speaking of Boyes Springs and the hwy 12 corridor to Santa Rosa. It’s smack dab in the wine country too. I might pull the trigger on a property I’m looking at before I go back to CR, on the 13th. $550,000 for a 3 br, 2 bath home, in a nice neighborhood. Some Realtors feel prices are dropping in the golden state.

Yesterday was unreal. Sailed under the Richmond San Rafael bridge up into Raccoon straights. Spent the night in a marina in Richmond. Expecting more of the same weather today
