I have not been on this forum long, but I have enjoyed it immensely. I apologize for sometimes poking the bear to frequently, but how can one help themselves.

I have been told, if you don’t like San Diego and the high home prices, then go somewhere else. Ultimately, I have always wanted to move back home to Minneapolis. The land of responsible people, cheap beautiful old homes and neighborhoods, and cabins galore. But so far, the S. California wife has not been terribly receptive.

Well the time has come to say bye bye to this speculative environment, hopefully it will bring me one step closer to Minneapolis. I am moving to a place with a better jobs for both of us, better recreation, and cheaper living.

If San Diego were filled with saner people, we would have gladly stayed, bought a house, and raised some kids. Maybe in a 5 years and a few SD bankruptcies, we will be back again.
