    jstoesz – you have to do right for your family. Don’t feel bad about leaving SD. Those of us that live here love it and try somehow to make it work, but certainly some of us make sacrifices and compromises to do it. Perhaps the new job will work out well and allow you to pay off bills, save money and in the interim, maybe prices will further stablize in SD and might be better opportunities in the area you seek in the future. Or maybe you will find things are nicer up there and you establish roots, make friends and enjoy it more. Don’t stress about it. You never know what the future brings. You could win the lottery or something. Okay. Far-fetched. But just saying, there’s a lot of twists and turns in life. Roll w/it.

    Nothing much matters except having enough money to set a good table and a family that you have fun with. How much time in ones life is spent in such a way that it makes no difference where you live? The majority. Personal grroning, sleeping, at the table, in an office, watching movies, Being in your yard. that makes up what percentage? it really doesn’t make all that much difference. Take care of your health, get a hobby, hang out with your kids.

    BTW, you’ve obviously never used the freeway on ramps east of downtown LA towards Pasadena. They have stop signs at the end of the 30-foot long on-ramp and about 15 feet from stop sign to the end of the lane in which to merge. Nothing remotely as dangerous in San Diego.[/quote]
    So true. 110S on-ramps around Highland Park for example.

    Ima picked some of the most touristy areas in the city and then complained they were too touristy…

    Two more takes:
    How *about* that weather we’ve had the last 2 or 3 days? It has been just AMAZING. Yesterday I could see San Clemente and Catalina islands from the Encinitas library. The former is over 40 miles offshore I believe… Today would make anyone want to be a winter surfer the water looked so inviting.

    San Diego real estate will NEVER be at comparable valuation to Kansas City/Dallas. Please. Does anyone know a lot of folks who save up to vacation In Kansas City? There’s a reason – it’s not inexplicable by any means. I had colleagues in Dallas tell me they do no recruiting in the summer – they found it very hard to close on candidates who came and experienced the heat/humidity. Also don’t they have big flying cockroach things there? Please.
