Ep. 34 | S2 - Leaving California... Then Returning

In this episode of Real VC, we sit down with Nate Bonsignore to talk about leaving Ventura County, spending years in away, and ultimately deciding to come back. We dive into the bigger conversation around people leaving California because of cost, taxes, and opportunity, while also exploring why so many still feel drawn back by the lifestyle, weather, and sense of community. Nate shares what changed in his perspective after living away and what Ventura County offers that’s hard to replicate elsewhere. From migration trends to quality of life, this conversation looks at the tradeoffs people are making today. If you’ve ever wondered whether Ventura County is still worth it, this episode gets into why people leave, and why they return.To stay updated on the podcast, follow @upmarket.media and @katie.connelly.realtor on Instagram.Real VC is a podcast devoted to serving the Ventura County California Real Estate Community.
