[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I gather if you work remote and your kid gets into a UC school, then there is nothing stopping you from moving to CA and then your kid gets residency for Soph - Senior years?[/quote]

You can do that? 366 days before Sophomore year and you get in-state tuition?

I will check myself of course, but this could be a game changer for us.[/quote]

You need to be paying income taxes only in CA.  My DD is a senior at UCLA.  During her Freshman year, DH joined a company in SF and moved there, while I stayed in the DMV because I run a company here.  We both go back and forth and spend about 50% of our time in each city.  But we couldn't get in state tuition for DD because BOTH of us had to change residency to CA, get a CA driver's license, and pay both of our income taxes in CA.  And we both have to live full-time in CA.

BTW - DD LOVES UCLA and has had an amazing experience there even with her first year on-line (she moved there anyway and lived in an off-campus apartment, made a ton of friends and had a blast).  The PP who said the campuses are beautiful and the weather amazing is spot on.  And UCLA on her resume has opened a lot of doors to great internships and job offers.  She will probably be staying in CA after graduation.  She also has friends at Berkeley and UCSB and everyone loves their experiences.

[b]For all of the problems that CA has, you just can't beat the quality of life there. [/b] Whenver we go out into nature for a hike or on a boat in the SF Bay, DH always says we are paying high taxes for this lifestyle and views.  After having spent a lot of time on both coasts, the DMV just can't compare to the life in CA.  I'm sure lots of you will jump in and try to prove me wrong.  But we prefer the lifestyle in CA.[/quote]

I live in CA and get your point, but young people who are not on the property ladder are leaving in large numbers because they cannot afford it and don't see a future there.[/quote]
