Why I am leaving Paso Robles
-
3/24/2008
My parents are buried here, and I raised my son (single father- mom left)here. I am convinced that I could not have raised him as well anywhere else in the nation. He is going to pursue his masters, and is going back up to Idaho, where he took his minor. The cost of living, and the "gentrafication" of Paso Robles has soured him on this area, and he took his major at Sacramento State, where he became disenchanted with California.
I have no brothers, or sisters, so he is my only immediate family. Although I basically own my house, we are not a wealthy family, and I cannot afford to buy him a house here, nor can he afford one.
If you come with money, welcome. If you expect to make it here, good luck!
Retirement here would be great, if you have a spouse, or children who live close, but this isn't the place for working families.Too bad, the school is very good, and the opportunities for extracuricular activites are the best.Only wealthy need apply.
