How Tiny House Living Can Help You Leave California
This episode’s expert guest joins us to discuss how tiny house living can possibly help you leave California. Ethan Waldman is the author of two books; Tiny House Decisions and Tiny House Parking. He is also the host of the podcast, Tiny House Lifestyle, a show that brings you conversations with tiny house luminaries, builders, and DIYers.
A tiny house is generally thought of as a small house, typically sized under 600 square feet. While they can be built on foundations, most tiny homes are built on trailers. This makes them very versatile when it comes to where you live. It’s a great way to keep costs down and your environmental footprint small.
We cover a few details of tiny living like how to consider state laws, how to make the most out of a small space and where you can go to join engaged communities to meet and talk to tiny house communities to help you decide if leaving California in a tiny house is right for you.

Part 1: Top 5 Most Popular Destinations for Californians Moving Out of State
On this special 2 part episode of Bye Bye OC, we’ll cover the top 5 most popular destinations for Californians moving out of state. We go in reverse order, so we start with numbers 4 & 5 and we also touch on a special mention that didn’t make the list.
We all have different reasons for relocating so we’ll go through the differences from state-to-state. Some locations are similar to California and most of the top 5 spots are on the west coast which could make it easier to make the move. The list of the 5 most popular states Californians are moving to comes from the latest US census bureau's annual community survey and it uses 2019 stats.
Numbers 4 & 5 of the most popular states for Californians to move to are; number 5, Oregon and number 4, Nevada. We’ll go over the cost of living from state to state, weather, tax rates, things to do and wildlife.
We are joined by special guest Micheal Wasick. He is a full time real estate agent who works within Boise and the surrounding areas. He is a former Californian and made the move himself from Long Beach, California to Idaho. Although Idaho didn’t make it into the top 5 destinations, it is still a very popular choice for Californians moving away. Micheal joins Bye Bye OC to discuss his experience making the move and shares with us useful tips to help you make the move.

Uprooted From California to Massachusetts
John Joines is the co-host of the Uprooted Podcast with his wife Christine. Together they talk about navigating their way through life, parenting, and everything in between all alone in Massachusetts. The Uprooted name comes from their experience of leaving everything they’ve ever known behind in California to establish new roots in the Bay State.
John shares his experiences with moving his family from California to Massachusetts and how he found a great job from across the country. John noticed differences in the people between the two states right away and how not receptive they are to people moving into Massachusetts from out of state. He has settled in a quiet, rural community called Middleton located about 20 miles from Boston.
John leaves us with what it’s been like for his kids to move across the country and tips to make the transition easier for families thinking of making a similar move.
