You should TOTALLY locate to LA.
Honestly, I could deal with LA. But, I like my job (for once,) city and unless JPL or someone could accomodate equiv salary and housebuying capacity and hire me to manage an archive (which is painful at the moment,) and keep the ground stable, I can't imagine it.
eta: it's really weird. I LOVE the west. It is home. Visiting LA and JTree was just like home. But every time I really think more than a minute about moving back west, there's this gut NO that responds. It's almost as if being an outsider (as I feel anywhere but there) is necessary somehow.
Pasadena is near JPL and has some pretty awesome neighborhoods. And the real estate market's never been better for a buyer.
What. Just saying.

Ahh, but can it be a 3 bdrm for under $200K? (OK, some of those are in borderline hoods.) Baltimore City is one of the few places where prices haven't overall sunk in the past mmph months. Because they were playing catchup to the bubble and hadn't caught up, being a really depressed market.
Minor detail, considering the gut.
I'm just saying, sarameg, we'd love to have you out here. N and G would be in snuggling-with-sara-heaven!
K is still proofreading the school paper. Occasionally she guffaws and has to read aloud.
Oh, so K isn't screaming in agony? Good. Mocking is so better.
I do wish I were closer. To a lot of folk. God, if I were out there, the LA kids and adults would get so spoiled. But what about T??
My brother is IMing me diseased organs. Um?
