Most People I know who left California (esp. because their employer left the state in the early 1990’s) always regretted it dearly later and have spent most of their time wishing they could come back.

Maybe look for another Job ??

Just my two cents.[/quote]

You know I’ve been swimming upstream since moving here, and haven’t improved my lot one bit. In fact financially I’ve probably gone backwards. I have really not even one month of savings (I know, I know). With whatever severance and 8 weeks or so of vacation I’d get by for 5-6 months. As closely as I’ve watched the market over the last year or two, I can’t imagine something suddenly popping up for me. I’d have to retool anyway, which would mean a drastic cut in pay, and likely being broke.

Also I’m told if I went to Orlando my in-laws would move down there (from Alabama). Apparently a ton of family in the area. My parents can’t even afford to fly out and see us, (though I fail to see how a 15 hour drive saves them much money). Hell they’d probably sell and move down too.

Despite all the positive reasons (financial and family) it would be an excruciatingly difficult move. I run a travel ball team, coach a ton of baseball got one son entering 9th grade, one in 7th and in our short time here we’ve “dug in” pretty well.

Another company looking to leave Southern California. There seems to be a trend here.

May I ask, what industry is your company in?

Florida isn’t bad. It’s just a flatter, wetter California. Pretty good cultural diversity (assuming you’re not against that).[/quote]

My company was already mentioned by techyworker on the layoff thread, so you don’t have to add to the grand total… Sorry can’t add much more.

I have no problem with a little diversity, though I tend to not want to live in the the urban hipster type places (at least until I get my kids through school).

Jesu Christo!!! 15K, and my company talking of moving us to the land of the mouse in central Florida. Homes now under $100/sq. foot (and for good reason, it’s hot, humid and yucky)….

15K would go a long way over there where a really nice screened in pool house in a good nabe isn’t much over 200k. Anyone know any Orlando housing blogs?

Actually people from Encinitas also go to CCA.

CCA much like San Dieguito Academy in Encinitas serves as the lottery based school (meaning getting in is not automatic). LCC, like Torrey Pines is the default school for HS Students.

Certain parts of Rancho Bernardo apparently have a choice also about Camino Del Norte. My friends in Westview are opting for the new school instead of RB.

I took 4-5 trips to 4S Ranch this past 2-3 weeks for Little League events, which was at the extreme south part of the community. I really liked the open Carmel Valley road by the way. In fact I would go from Lomas Santa Fe through Fairbanks Ranch to get there, and since the ballfields were down at Dove creek anyway, I found it easier to go right off of San Dieguito. To each his own, I probably could’ve just done 56 to Camino Del Sur, to Carmel Valley road but I really like driving through RSF.

I kind of wanted to go through Santa Luz, but it was all gated, and I didn’t care to sign in. Del Sur, I only made the drive around to 4S Ranch so I am not exactly sure what I missed. 4S was ok, but not really my cup of tea. I understand why some people like that kind of thing, and of course working in Kearney, I might think differently. It just seemed to plastic to me. I think in 10 years it should start resembling something like Eastern Encinitas (when the homes start needing some updates). I like that the prices are coming down, but that Mello Roos just kills it for me (not that I am in the market to buy). I did find the whole Black Mountain area through to be pretty nice (combining down to Santa Luz). A lot of parks, people out riding bikes, walking etc.
