Goin' to California ...

[ThisBitch]

No, this isn't an ode to Led Zeppelin. I'm planning on moing to the west coast in March when my lease is up. I can pretty much choose where I want to live/work from the following list. There are a ton more locations in SoCal, but I think I'd rather live farther north, as I have friends in OR.

I know a lot of you are from or have lived in CA, so I figure maybe you can offer some insight around what the best places to live are (proximity to tracks and decent roads). Cost of living is also a minor concern. I make decent money, but will be moving out there alone. Thanks in advance!

Burlingame
Marin
Palo Alto
Roseville
Sacramento
San Francisco
San Jose
Sunnyvale
Walnut Creek

Palo Alto and SF are real nice but be prepared for a huge
difference in cost of living.....but i think you already know that

Redwood City is nice too, Steph lived there for a couple years and loved it.

[Sheppo]

I don't know much about living there. BUT Marin and PaloAlto are nice country I have been there on business. Good luck in your endevor.

[slammp]

Sacramento is also very nice. I would not recommend San Francisco as that is basically the highest in cost of living. If you can pick other locals as well you might want to consider Oxnard (very nice are, lower cost of living, beach community)

[ThisBitch]

I can live anywhere, but would have to work in one of those places.

My 'rents live in Burlingame right now. It's nice there, Infineon is about an hour north and Laguna is about 2 hours South. Weather is always nice up there, but traffic is garbage...

The thought has crossed my mind, but I have a roommate who still needs to live in the house. I guess I could ask her to find another roommate sooner, but its not really fair to her and the lease is in my name.

[snowborder]

FYI a 900 sq ft condo in San Fran is about $1.2 mill+ vs $175k here.
Rent wise aka $4500 a month vs $1200

[SoxPrincess83]

You're leaving me?



Who's going to say out loud the funny things I'm thinking but am too shy to actually say?

*sad*

[BostonSVkid]

I would NEVER live in Cali. I have travelled out there so many times. Between traffic, earthquakes, stifling heat in the south, and Santa Ana winds in the north alway keep it cool that place is just not for me.

Ugh... the least you could do is be more inventive than Jim. I'm so disappointed in you.


And seriously, I've never even been to CA, so I actually need some on-topic answers/opinions.

Jackie -

I'll be heading out there in a couple months to set things up for the wedding.
If there's anything I can do let me know.
