I can't believe everyone is talking about weather and not the fact that all the best jobs (outside of NY) are here. From the financial to technological market, LA and SF are the capitals for those industries. Plus we have the best public univerities in the world, and the population is more diverse than most of the US.

That's the sole reason I am here, along with my family and my fiance's family.

rofl remember the time when it rained like hell for a couple of days earlier this year? During that time, me and a couple friends were discussing the rain, and mentioned "damn i'm not getting my money's worth of living here if it's still raining like this!! arg"

but ya, i already posted in this thread my reason.

I've been to a lot of places in the US (stayed @ NY, Miami, Chicago, NJ (ugh), Bloomington IL (UGH!!!), Hawaii (well, actually, really nice place lol, probably the only place outside of CA that i actually liked) for awhile, but nothing beats the feeling of seeing the LA, SD skylines, OC beachlines out of the airplane window as you approach the airports (LAX, SD-Lindbergh Field, Ont).

I love all the people in cali saying, oooohh my house has doubled in value in the past three years. You may think your house is worth 1million but nobody is going to buy it for that price UNLESS you are in San Fran or LA area. I would say for San Fran and LA including the surrounding suburbs up to say 60 miles out in all directions there really is no housing bubble. The prices will never drop, they may slow down but they are not coming back down.

Even if you do sell your million dollar home, you're going to have to buy another million dollar home (assuming you buy in the same general area).
