I'd permanently feel like I'm not in Kansas anymore. Cost of living is worse than here, and that's saying something. I think the only way I could take a job in CA is to be like fozz and almost never be there. Love to visit, couldn't live.
I hear you. It is quite expensive to live here, but that is actually getting much better than it has been in the last four years. I'm seeing costs of just about everything dropping right now. But who knows how long that will stay around. I suppose that in the end, it comes down to what is most important to you. It took me about a year and a half before this place started feeling like home. I was just an extended stay tourist before that. In any event, I continue to wish you luck on the job hunt.

Yeah, yeah. I will update FM with the new stuff (and get rid of the old stuff) presently.
