Moving back to CA after 20+ years...what do I need to know?

[Whoa_Nelly]

Going to move to (OMIGOD) Central CA about 45 miles south of Fresno to be near son and family (They want me there :-)
Should I infiltrate Freepville and drive it to ruin?

7. I don't know much about the Central Valley

I grew up in Contra Costa County. I remember 20 years ago how there were construction sites everywhere. It was non-stop, build, build, build. At least in the Bay Area anyway, anti-growth forces are a lot stronger now than they used to be. When I go back to visit I don't see the non-stop building that I used to.

Oh, and remember to register to vote. Central Valley needs all the Democrats it can get.

[Whoa_Nelly]

8. Where I'm moving to it's still a contractor's dream

homes being built all over

Not much has changed from what I've heard. I haven't lived there in quite a while myself, but overall it's still the same from what my friends there tell me.
