I'm with Pakrat and Demon on this one:
Kalifornia is just rediculous. If I graduate and make the
average salary that a PA makes (i.e. 65K a year) I'd STILL have a hard time buying a house in CA. That just sucks.
But, you gotta love the weather and the land. It sure is a beautiful state...too bad about the concrete sprawl, though.
P.S. My brother goes to school at UCSD and lives in school-subsidized housing. He's paying ~600 a month for rent, and that's a STEAL!
Edit: Oops, almost forgot! Congrats on the new house!
