As much as I'd love to live in CA for the weather, I don't think I could ever live there. At least from what I can observe, it seems like people care way too much about how much you make and how many nice (ie, expensive) things you have, and I cannot stand that mindset. And I still cannot figure out how the fuck anyone can afford to live there. From what I can see, real estate is at least 2-3x more expensive compared to where I live, but wages aren't 2-3x higher. How does that work? I honestly just don't get it.

Good idea, stay out of CA and tell all your friends that too. I'm tired of east coast transplants in CA (I also married one).

It doesnt work. I think figures in LA were 1/3 of monthly income goes to housing. I believe that rate is rising also. We have the worst income/housing expense ratio.

I'm sure it is, too, but after your first week here you're going to realize why there's not a snowball's chance in the LBC why you'd ever leave :P

It's funny, non-Californians think California is the place to be, and deluded Californians think California is the place to be, but real people that are not caught up in the appearance game of trying to be conceived as cool don't give a fuck about that hellhole. I truly don't think I could ever go back after being a Native, multigenerational Californian. I guess it's just different strokes for different folks.

Hey guy moving to El Centro, there are many better places in this country than the vortex of fake that California represents.

Even if this doesn't pan out, you won't regret trying. This is awesome. Good luck!

Thanks for the encouragement!!

good luck finishing that collage...sometimes it can be difficult to get all the pictures to fit together..............

Ring ring...


Hey Nick, Southern California is calling.

It's ringing loud and clear!

^I know how you feel. I've been wanting to do what you're doing for quite a while. I'm tired of having maybe 3 months total of good, comfortable weather. I'll miss the east coast's history and charm though.

'Grats on the job.

Yea man, the Midwest is a great place but I'm ready to try something. When you get a chance, absolutely do it!
