Haven't we met?

I am a young traveler heading west towards San Diego with some road kids and my warrior kitten, Luna. Greetings to all squatters! Hopefully I can meet some passerby who could lend me an ear and vice versa. Connections make the world go round. I am taking some first steps to begin an intentional community in Costa Rica this spring. Any advice on networking to create a successful sustainable community?
 
Not currently in Cali, no plans of going there. I'd only go there if the gal I want to marry said, "OK fine lets get hitched, but we gotta live in California." then I'd probably suck it up.

I'm in Portland, Oregon until Friday
 
Luckily, or not so lucky, She has already given me several reasons while we are incompatible, so no California for me...haha! I guess Love just isn't enough sometimes
 
Don't let my cynicism deter you from going to California, there are beautiful places there and there is a lot going on. Everybody has their own experience in a place...
 
Portland is a nice place. I lived in Salem for a couple of months. I'm guessing that you might not feel so enthusiastic about being there either.

Of course there are the dark and light aspects of every place you go! Cali isn't really street kid friendly (so I've heard)
 
But there are street kids everywhere! I wonder if there is a corelation...hmmm
 
if you go to san diego just be sure to stay out of north county, especially coastal towns, its one of the worst places to get caught up with the law ive found, high fines, cops suck more than ever around there , gentrified and getting worse as time goes by if you look slightly out of place , cops are on you like flies on shit. definitely not a place to go if you've been going up-river..
 
I have a soft spot for California. Not much money to be made, and blown up, but that changes quite a bit if you stay out of the cities everybody else goes to. And this time of year, I'm still enjoying 70+ degree sunny days. Actually, that should continue into the winter.

There are towns in California where I know I can fly a sign and make $60 an hour, and other towns I know I can busk and make over $20 an hour. No, I won't say which towns, but there are places you can find where it's actually pretty cool and not loaded with homebums and oogles.
 
Big cities no smaller towns yes. I've had the living dog shit beat out of me by the cops more times than I care to recall in the greater los angeles area. But I am extremely fond of big sur, has to be one of my favorite places.
