See ya CAlifornia, it was nice but....*!*! UPDATE !*!*

[AlienCraft]

OK, I'm gonna do it. The job market sucks here in CA, so I'm headed back to the red dirt of upland South Carolina.
Anyone want to buy a condo on San Francisco Bay?

**UPDATE**
Sold the condo in record time. The second party to look at it bought it on the spot, as is.
Now, I'm pondering should I rent / buy an RV and cruise in style (having sent all possesions including car via Moving Company) or load the car, do the Motel 6 thing, I'm bringing Ginger-furr, the Amazing Talking Cat with me, so I need Pet Friendly accomodations naturally, or fly and just meet it there.
I'm thinking I want to go through Houston so I can fish my friend's bass lake....
decisions, decisions....
^^^^^^^^^^^ Update 2 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^6
Decided on the BUDGET 15 ft van with Car Carrier. Cat goes with me, we stay at Motel 5's and test this Pet Friendly advertising their doing. That means a trip to the vet for Ginger for a checkup and flea shot booster.
Fully into packing mode. Things will be left behind. I never realized I had accumulated aproximately 600 lbs of cableing of various kinds. There are 5 plastic totes fro Home Depot full of this stuff. LP's and Tapes and CD's will be going by Common Carrier Freight. I am packing all the audio gear and studio stuff that will fit onto two pallets and shrink wrapping it. It leaves this week. I close escrow next week. I leave by the first.

I'm afraid that won't do it, but thanks anyway!
You'll need to add a few zeros.

 

[Rage187]

Moved from South Carolina to Reno NV.

Houses here cost 5x's as much...

The studio next to mine sold for $205K in Jan.
I have a junior one bedroom @ aprox 650 sq ft. with a full gym and steamroom, pool, tennis courts, and covered parking.
About $225K OR a long term leasee for $1250.00 / month

Good luck. The job market is so tough at the moment, but relief is on the way. Out of curiosity, do you have a job lined up in SC, or are you going hunting for one?

 

[LongCoolMother]

i have several friends leaving the COUNTRY too!

jesus, i could pay cash for 2 or 3 homes and just rent them out, too bad SC super yokel : (



and yes ive been there, in fact several cousins live greensboro and some live in charollete NC, teh carolinas , virgina, alabama, georgia, tennese, parts of florida all hardcore yokel


and yes my cousins are yokels, if they were white they would be playing banjos like the rest of the population

 

[Rage187]

hmm...

Charleston is missing yokels, although I can think of 1 cousin on my wifes side that is pure white trash.

Not to mention that they have 3 high $ colleges there. University of Charleston, Medical University of SC, and Charleston Southern University.

And OMG the college biotches are fine!

I'm not sure if 35K will buy you a telephone booth in LA, SF or SD.

Medical University of SC: is that the one where they have revivals and use leeches to purge the bad blood from your system?





i believe they play the banjo there too.

DEAH LOWD! :Q

That's borderline insane.. lol

I thought 800$/mo for a 2 bedroom(not sure of square footage.. pretty small, maybe 1250) was quite a bit..

 

[fs5]

the job market is infinitely better in the bay than it was this time last year.

CA housing is like a pyramid scheme, you gotta buy in early, late people in are screwed.

 

[Rage187]

I pay $565 a month currently for a studio in down town Reno. All utilities included. Only thing I pay for is cable.


Kinda reasonable the more I think about it.
