comment from one of the blogs: “If you are in school right now, stay there; get a graduate degree or a post doc, or something to stay out of the job market for a few years. The pharma industry is flooded with experienced scientists from all the layoffs and re-orgs so give it a few years for the dust to settle.”Participanthttp://www.iguanabio.com/tag/the-graveyard/

Just to get an idea of the different locations.
You can tell a lot about a community just by the rental prices/mix of houses vs apartment rentals.

ParticipantWe don’t see too many posts about North Park. It sure does have a lot of variability. Ghetto to million+ homes (28th St).
We rent in the Burlingame area (pink sidewalks) and have seen selling prices go down about 20% from asking price. A few blocks east is this house (2528 33rd St) foreclosed in October and has been in and out of escrow since. The young couple who were foreclosed paid $740 for it and now it’s lisyted at less than 500K. The further east you go, towards 805, it get really dicey and that seems to be the area where selling prices got nuts in the last 3-4 years. Lots of foreclosuresParticipantWe don’t see too many posts about North Park. It sure does have a lot of variability. Ghetto to million+ homes (28th St).

I can so relate to your ideas about leaving CA. It is especially more difficult for you, as you have lived here all your life.
We have two close (couples) friends who left in the last 1-2 years. All 4 have Phds. One couple left for North Carolina, the other to Portland. They don’t regret their decisions.
The couple in Portland absolutely love it, the couple in NC aren’t wild about NC, but their quality of life has improved enormously. They were able to buy a beautiful home and the kids are in a really good school system.
My husband and I are struggling with the same decision you are thinking of making. He grew up in NC and went to college in Winston-Salem. He would like to live there, but high tech jobs are scarce.
As much as I would like to purchase a house, and in W-S we could write a check for one, I know what I would be missing (the nice things) in CA. Tough choices. BUT, it looks like the state of CA is really circling the drain right now, and leaving seems more like a good idea every day.
If I had kids, I would leave. Stay within reasonably easy flying distance (forget east coast) so that it won’t be too difficult to come home for visits. ie: Portland, Seattle, Salt Lake, Denver.
