My new space is at least not in a thoroughfare and maybe it will help me concentrate better if I feel constricted about hopping all over the internet and what not. (trying to have a good attitude!)
You are good at finding the bright side!
Well, if we followed the recipe...should be cake. A demon-violence-free-zone cake.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Our new neighbors moved here from Berkeley. They bought a very pricey house, for Athens GA, but I bet it seemed like an incredible deal to them. (It's a lovely ca. 1850 3-br cottage, very nicely renovated, and I think they paid $450K.)

Is the pay higher in areas with higher real estate prices? Becuase that house, while cute, is fairly modest, and the mortgage is more than I even make in a month.
Yes salaries are much higher here, in general. Unless you work for McGraw Hill!
Hey! I resemble that remark!
I haven't looked since, but, before the crash, SF had the highest median housing prices in the country ($750K), next in line was San Jose ($650K), and then LA and NY were both about $550K. To compare to income, median income in SF at the time was 72K, while NY was in the mid-50s. So there does seem to be some correlation.

Well soon (I HOPE) there will be no resemblance for remarks because you won't be working there!

Thanks, askye! It's 3 years old now and I still love it! The countertops and cabinets are just Ikea.

They have! I probably should oil the counter more often but eh. It's fine!
(Fingers crossed for megan walker!)
