Another theater major, French-studying it-getter here.
Also, peeps looking for houses could move to West Sacramento--close to a UC (undergrad, grad, law school and med school, so always some kind of jobs available), Hec's oldest friend and his family (the guy who needed a kidney and it turned out that of all the people in the world, his longtime partner was the best donor match for him, so now they not only share a home, life and child but vital organs) live there, my cousin the cute little babybat who charmed Jilli and Pete at our wedding lives there, and, at least for California, it's crazy dirt cheap.
Plus, traffic permitting, about a 90-minute drive to all the Bayistas (probably less to -t, a bit more to Perkins).
So, clearly, an excellent spot for a new Buffista colony.
This post brought to you by last weekend's random This Housing Market Is Nuts conversation with my dad, whose best friend just bought a 4BR in West Sacto for something like $75,000.
