[quote=spdrun]Unless they find a massive strike of oil there, northern CA will still be sleepy, quiet, and relatively cheap in 20 years. Too far from SF or Portland to become really suburbanized.

Absolutely, spdrun. Even the masses of boomers retiring from now to 2020 want to be close to a big city hospital and/or trauma center. As “bucolic” as it is up there, it is attractive to live in only to certain types of individuals (ex: the scaredycats and bearishgurls of the world) :=]
