I love California. I always swore I'd never leave this state unless it was to move to Ireland or the UK. Unfortunately, the cost of living here is killing me. I'm so stressed and afraid all of the time, terrified of losing housing.

California has the worst homelessness in the USA; I don't think people outside of this state have a clue as to how bad the homeless situation is. People from all over the nation come to Calif because the weather is very tolerable. It's easy for the nation to ignore the homelessness epidemic.

As for your disability, I suggest you start the transfer process ASAP.

I wish you all the best.
