Now annoying native Oregonians by taking up space in their beautiful state.
*snicker*
I sometimes say I'm from "around San Francisco" (I'm ~45 miles from it), but only to people whom I don't expect to have any idea where I mean if I say "Sunnyvale" or even "San Jose". (It also forestalls "Sunnydale" jokes, which I hate with a passion.)
Most of the people I know who have left California did so because it was too expensive. I'm hoping that we can install enotsola into something lucrative enough that with my $57k we might actually be able to *gasp* afford a house (although not likely anywhere near my street, where something currently way undersold for about $860k because the inheritors just wanted to be rid of it, and others are going for ~$1m) or even just a condo, but at the moment I'll settle for being able to move out into an apartment before the end of the year (hello, ~$1500-2000/mo).
