Sure, hook me and my wife up with a job making what I'm making now with the same perks/benefits and I'll be all over it like a bum on a ham sandwich.

See what I mean?

People love to beat on CA, but there ARE reasons people are attracted here (and stay here). Sometimes the overall positives outweigh the negatives. I'm with ya' though - I certainly wish the CA RE market WASN'T so f*cked up and my wife and I could attain what virtually everyone else everywhere else SHOULD be able to attain based on our incomes and work ethics, but such is life. I guess I'd rather rent and be happy than "buy" and be miserable.
