The move to Austin/Texas seems to be the best decision then...it’s for the best. California has become unliveable for many. Doesn’t have to be..but it is what it is..
Best wishes to your mom.

Thanks. She found an affordable new construction house, somewhat in the middle of nowhere though.
Yeah. If you don't have Prop 13, which was a one-time bandaid, or you're rich you're screwed.
Furthermore, she had to sell because my now ex-stepfather walked out on her suddenly because of her unexpected disability life event and forced them to sell. He's rich now after inheriting from his family and she gets a pittance less than Social Security when they planned to combine households and retire together permanently. Plus, there's nothing left around but a drug rehab halfway house, disgruntled, reclusive Trump supporters with guns, and some agro neighbors with psychosis. The odds of being robbed or violently attacked are pretty high, and there's black bear.
