i get you, i used to live in socal. emphasis on used to. it was nice when i was right out of college, but quickly realized it wasn't the kind of place i wanted to stay long term, largely due to COL and not wanting to raise a family in such an expensive region, at least on my income.
The CA Bay Area has always been expensive, however I never imagined it would be this out of control. My wife scored a job right out of college in 1989 with the company she always wanted to work for, obviously she's still there today. When we bought our first house in 1997 prices were reasonable, it went out of control 2005-06 and has continued to climb to this day.
yea, i have a few friends from college and prior jobs that are in that area and in tech. even they complain about how insane it is, they all want to leave eventually but the money is just too good in their fields.
That's pretty much it. It's hard to just get up & leave, especially at this point in time. But hopefully when the time comes, the market will still be on an upswing and we can cash out & bail.
given your wifes tenure at her job, is there any reason they wouldn't let her work remote full time?
Not really, she travels around the world, last year was Columbia, Peru, Argentina, Italy, Dominican Republic, Jamaica (off the top of my head). last week was Jacksonville, and New Orleans, next month, Ireland and was supposed to go to China in May, but that one is canceled for now.
ah. that's a lot of airline and hotel points tho.
Off the top of my head:
Kid in HS. I get it.
fuckin' homeschool.
Totally agree, and I'd also be happy to pay a premium to live in a place with that climate. I've only visited the area once but it was spectacular. VT is like that, but to a much lesser extent. COL is high here, but no where approaching the Bay Area. My wife and I are OK with it because we want to be here, but I can totally understand locals leaving the state in search of more reasonable COL.

:does cocaine furiously:Trump report bizarrely claims net neutrality repeal raised incomes $50B a year
Trump economic report relies on "pseudo-economics."
Airline points up the wazoo, she's hit 1K on united 3 straight years. Thats over 100K miles a year.
She has a year in a half left with friends she's had since kindergarten. Wouldn't do that to her.
People are bailing big time, but more are still coming in. Usually job transfers though in tech.
I'm not denying that something needs to be done out the cost of healthcare.
one benefit of single payer is having it all go through medicare will give the medicare system better leverage for negotiating prescription drug prices.
Grammar. It's really hard.
What would be the point? He's impervious to any facts that contradict the Cult of Orange.
This is why we need the rep system back.
Don't forget about that socialist water and sewer service that @Brian HCM#1 is mooching.
