Atascadero and Placerville, California

[SHRED]

These are on my short list for retirement relocation.
Anyone know the politics of these places?
Thanks

1. Don't know about local politics, but state/federal level P-ville trends much more GOP than Atas.

Placerville is in McClintock's district, he's held that seat for a decade.

2. I think they tend to run Republican.

Once you get away from the large cities and the coastline, things turn red quickly.

3. Here's a map that should help answer your question:

7. Are those districts because...

...it sure isn't accurate if so.

Or it's a very old map?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

8. I'm not sure how old it is. I think those are counties rather than districts.

11. They aren't counties

Do you have link?
Thanks

4. Got some puke relatives in that region

Die-hards. All of them.

Have one friend near Sommerset. Very very cold in the winter time. So cold, said person is trying to move after leaving the Bay Area abt. 2 yrs. ago.

9. I live 60 miles south

This area is heavy GOP. We democrats are moving there and we are changing things. Placerville has changed and is very nice. Only 60 miles away is Tahoe....GO FOR IT!!!

10. Consider Lake County. One of the cheapest places in California to live.

I've lived here for 27 years. Largest natural lake in California, world class bass fishing, if that interests you. Used to be pretty red here, but turned blue in the last few presidential elections. Local politics a mixture. Good housing below 300K. On the cheaper side, I live in a senior mobile home park walking distance from the lake in the town that is the county seat and my space rent is below $500.

It gets hot here in the summer, but no snow in the winter if you stay out of the higher elevations. Good medical care, two hospitals, one to two hours to metropolitan areas like Santa Rosa and Sacramento. Agricultural/tourism based economy, with wine grapes and marijuana the main crops. Also pears and walnuts.

PM me if you want more info. If you want to check the place out, I'd be glad to show you around.

12. Thank you

I love to bass fish.
Talking my better half into moving there could be an issue...lol.

14. ESPN has televised bass tournaments from here. n/t

18. Thank you Mr. Bill

I've always dreamed of bass fishing there.

16. SLO County websites that may be of interest

Atascadero and northern San Luis Obispo County lean somewhat conservative. The City of San Luis Obispo and the coastal cities and towns are generally liberal.

Here are some websites that may be of interest:
1) The SLO County Democratic Party, https://slocdp.org/
2) SLO Progressives, https://www.sloprogressives.org/
3) The Tribune newspaper, https://www.sanluisobispo.com/
