Re Colorado: thought about this one pretty seriously, to the point of flying out and staying for a while (been there several times before as well). The Denver burbs would be nearly perfect if the landscape wasn’t so ugly and the air so dry. That awful 3am wakeup, mouth-breathing, dry-as-dust feeling was the deal breaker.
In the end, we realized that we’d get a better deal on a house in Temecula, the weather is better, and we’re still close enough to the ocean that we can make a day of it once in a while.
THEN we realized that San Diego is actually becoming affordable. We’re probably not moving anywhere, but if we did, it would be Greece.

July 28, 2008 at 9:33 AM #248120mixxalotParticipantIn 2 years time, I hope to have stable work at a good tech company and that prices will fall another 20-30%. Then I can afford to buy a place here in San Diego.
I am also looking at places in northern California- Sacramento is a lot cheaper and I lived there a long time it is nice place. And close enough to San Francisco for weekend getaways and to Reno/Lake Tahoe for summer and winter snow ski times.

July 28, 2008 at 7:01 PM #248385Nor-LA-SD-guyParticipantSD is starting to become cheap just now, if it comes down enough I will rent out our Temecula home and buy a place nearer the coast,
Temecula is becoming so cheap these days, I can’t figure why anyone would wait anymore at this point if they were interested in buying there. It beats the heck out of Phoenix or Vegas.
Austin is OK but just too Cowboyesh for my tastes and too damn hot or cold most of the year as well as too far from the coast.
Good luck
