My job isn’t going anywhere. The more folks leave the higher my quality of life gets.
Is there any way we can keep them from coming back?[/quote]
And that’s the problem. I grew up in CA and moved away as a young adult, but the folks I know who’ve done it in recent years seem miserable, and seem to be divided into those who moved back and those who wish they could move back. While the housing bubble took it to absurd heights, California is worth paying a bit more for. That said, I’ll take my cheap cost of living and great schools, and hope that I can get my car in the ice-covered driveway tomorrow morning.
