I was born in Vallejo and lived in Crocket, then Fairfield(15 years there.) I have briefly lived in Sacramento and Redding. For the last 20 years I have lived in Chico, where I went to college.
When I moved here it was really affordable for California. It was one of the rare places in CA that had a decent amount of entertainment and culture (due to the college) and was also affordable. Its unfortunately gotten more expensive in recent years due to a massive housing shortage spurred on by the devastating fires in the area that decimated the housing stock. Luckily, we got into the market before that happened, but the aftereffects of the fires and then to some degree the pandemic really changed the city.
Where in NorCal? I was born and raised in Napa and Vallejo. My wife's from just outside Sacramento, a place called Georgetown.

Oh my goodness! I have an estranged uncle who I'm pretty sure still lives in Chico! I really need to look him up...
