Pick a state
Bought a house in arizona, 1/2 mile from the river. No smog checks, five years of registration at a time, for less than one in california . Over an acre, bigger house, eight car garage, four more in a covered car port, plenty of room for a pool and another garage (both planned), for a quarter of what my house in california is worth.
Its hot in the summer. Air conditioning in the house, cars, and garage, no biggie.
Nice people too.
Oh, forgot. 1/2 mile up the road, i can shoot anything i want.
