Mostly said in jest, but we have talked about a possible migration to HongCouver for other reasons. Affordable housing wouldn't be one of them sadly...

I think that's probably the plan. We're kind of two minds on this. Well, maybe three:
1. Find somewhere in LA that we can afford (i.e. give a mortgage that is close to what we're paying in rent, ideally less) and won't kill me commuting. Sadly that is a small pool of places unless I change jobs.
2. Find a place that would be a vacation-isn place that would be a long term place to live. In that case it would have to be cheap so we can afford to pay rent here and mortgage there.
3. Just continue to rent in SM as long as my job stays intact and hope that my 501k doesn't implode before we retire.
