    Got to love bubble-pimping touts like the arsehole below:

    “These markets are very expensive by any measure, and they’re forecasted to get worse,” Jonathan Smoke, chief economist of realtor.com said in a statement. “That’s why consumers looking for affordable options need to act as soon as they can.”

    Yay for SD. However, after traveling abroad, I have to say, our definition of affordable is very skewed.

    Like anything you can bend these stats anyway you want to IMO.

    LA is definitely more pricey than SD for what you get.
    But in LA city workers make probably close to twice what they do in SD, then you have the studios.
    And the list goes on.

    I would say for a software engineer or self-employed person SD is better than LA as far as what you could afford (I would add San Jose as well), anyway IMO.

    I watch certain LA neighborhoods as well as some SD neighborhoods that are fairly comparable. It seems to me that you get more for your money in LA, and that’s before taking into account the MUCH better job market up there for anyone who isn’t in biotech and telephony (outside of those two fields, the job market in SD absolutely sucks!).
