The uncle that had breakfast with us a while back came to California in 1968 with the shirt on his back. He is very mechanical, and got a job as an apprentice machinist.
As a single guy he bought a 4 bedroom house and rented three bedrooms out. He got that one paid for and bought another one and another. He now has rentals both here and there. He just bought a place out west of Corona with a large fenced lot and nice shop. He is renting storage for boats and RV's now.
He had planned to move back here when he retired, but he has a young son he is trying to help get started in the excavation business, so I doubt he will ever move here.
The son actually asked if I thought he could get a business going here. I told him you can operate a business anywhere, it just depends on what you want out of life.

And he'd better be ready to bust his butt doing it, in either place. Some people get a silver spoon in their mouths and don't have to bust anything. Some of us were lucky to even have a spoon.
