3 Things To Know Before Moving To California

March 25, 2020 by Annie

If you love the idea of warm weather, the absence of rain, and plenty of beaches, then it’s a no-brainer why California might appeal to you. The Golden State is a great place to live for many reasons. However, before you pack your suitcase and make a sudden move, it’s important to know what you’re in for.

Anytime you make a big change in your life, it’s important to weigh out all of the factors. By anticipating what you’re up against ahead of time, you can avoid regrets. To help you get an idea of what would be in store for you if you were to live in California, here are some of the most important things to know before you move.

It Can Get Really Hot

California is known for its mild winters, which is incredibly appealing to people who have been living in a colder climate. Long and grey winters can start to weigh down on you over time. However, It’s important to know that along with mild winters also can come extreme summers. If you’re not used to the sun and heat, you could be in for a shock.

Some California days call for much more than a fan or shade. You’ll need an air conditioner. If your AC breaks down in the middle of summer, you’ll be miserable. Between the heat and humidity, you may find it’s too much for you after a summer or two.

You’ll Need a Car

Many major cities in the United States don’t require you to have a car. Many people are able to get to their jobs and appointments on public transportation without having to worry about hefty parking costs or pricey gas. However, depending on where you live in California, you’ll probably need a car.

Los Angeles is not known for an efficient public transportation system. In fact, most people who live in LA can agree, you need a car to get things done, or you won’t get them done at all. This doesn’t only stand true for big cities like Los Angeles. Even if you move to a rural area, the lack of public transportation will leave you in the same predicament. If you’re one of those people who doesn’t love the idea of driving, then it’s something to consider before making your move.

Don’t Jaywalk

California takes its jaywalking laws very seriously. If you cross the street in an undesignated area, you’ll get ticketed without a doubt. If you’re used to living in a place where anything goes when it comes to getting from one side of the street to the other, then it can be a rude awakening. $200 isn’t worth crossing the street prematurely. Do yourself a favor and only cross the street where you won’t get stopped by a cop and humiliated in public!

Hi! I'm Annie and I have 3 kids (all in their teens - yikes!). My mommy blog isn't all about lunches and DIY - it's also about humour. Like how my kids make fun of my texts as if I don't know how to use emojis (I DO!). Now that I have a bit more time - since my kids don't want to hang out with me (teenagers), I have taken up blogging.
