Geeezzzzz... I grew up in So. Cal and have been living here in AZ for quite awhile. I had no idea it's gotten this bad.
This is the first chance in many years I've had to get back to the coast. I have friends and relatives in San Diego, Santa Clairita, Morro Bay, San Fransco and Redding. Which place would give me the best chance?
I don't require much space and could live in an efficiency apt or guest house. What's the prices like on those? I will also need to find a good enough job to send an extra grand from my wages back to AZ EVERY month...

Do I have a chance????
I appreciate your ideas and candid comments.
Thanks
