The entire time we were in Santa Barbara I kept thinking about how unfair it is that the cost is so high!!! :( I know tons of people who dislike California, but apparently more people LOVE it! Hahaha. I will try to get close to Santa Barbara or the coast elsewhere. :)Jessiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09125093150749941236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1452723450949689540.post-33971769701396695612013-08-11T19:10:40.598-06:002013-08-11T19:10:40.598-06:00Work has been a little better, but I don't kno...Work has been a little better, but I don't know how long I will "deal" with it.

Hahaha I bet Tahoe is beautiful though! :) I think where you are would be too much population for me. Yes the cost I suppose is based off demand. I figure for me if its meant to work out I will find a way to make it work.

I don't think it's crazy that you don't want to live in London. If you don't feel at home then it's not the right place for you. Traveling really makes you view all places differently. I can't wait to keep discovering new places!

I know some people will probably find this crazy, because it's a dream city to live in, but I just don't feel it's right for me sometimes. But I'm not actually sure where I would want to live.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01990089801562905837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1452723450949689540.post-3000148679290922692013-08-06T10:39:17.952-06:002013-08-06T10:39:17.952-06:00I just moved to the East Bay area of San Francisco...I just moved to the East Bay area of San Francisco and I'm on the fence. I do enjoy that the weather is predictable where I am (currently somewhere between 75 and 85 during the day and 50 and 65 at night, every day for the last month), but I'm sad that I won't see snow without a drive. When I can't take it anymore, I'll head to Tahoe for a weekend. The payroll taxes and rent costs are also waaay out there.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14421343394685941861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1452723450949689540.post-86131512406846937832013-07-31T15:31:12.487-06:002013-07-31T15:31:12.487-06:00California is one of the main places that I want t...California is one of the main places that I want to visit, and I really see myself living there despite never even setting foot in the place, weird right?

I'm from the North San Diego County area. It was (and still is) very nice, but it became SO crowded, and SO expensive. I visit from time to time and it saddens me that it costs so much to live there if you plan to buy a house or property...which is why I can never move back. Like you, I want to live a simpler life, and having a huge mortgage is so scary (in case I ever lost my job) and unappealing. But yes, it is very nice to live on the California coast, that's why so many people want to live there, and drive up the prices! There are some lovely areas in Northern California (inland, closer to Yosemite) that you might consider?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06137598400188395851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1452723450949689540.post-41725777100450545112013-07-30T17:20:43.561-06:002013-07-30T17:20:43.561-06:00Isn't that house so cute?
