Nate1647545505 Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 I recieved an interesting job offer out on the west coast between San Fransisco and San Jose. Is there any reasonable affordable areas to live out there? Looks like the cost of living is double here in CBUS. Hooray liberls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Karacho1647545492 Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 I NEVAR LIVED ON TEH WEST COAST BUT I'M POSTWHOARING BECAUSE I HAVE AN OPINION AND YOU ALL SHOULD HEAR IT. actually i've got a friend that lives around there...he's not completely loaded, but his family does well and they live in a decent place...most likely you're gonna pay out the pooper to live there.

excell Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 You couldn't pay me enough to live in Cali. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wease Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 You couldn't pay me enough to live in Cali. Same here. To keep my standard of living I have here in Ohio, I'd need over twice the money I make now to live in San Jose. Here is a good Cost Of Living caluculator to give you an idea of what it's like out there. Enjoy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojoe Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 I moved to CBUS from Sacramento. I spent some time down in SF though. Cost of living was the same for both cities. Put it this way, I worked 3 jobs and couldn't afford to enjoy all the cool things around me. As for certain areas being more affordable, I don't know. I would not got back out there if I was making less then six figures or had a very good hook up. I moved to Columbus 9 yrs ago with no car, no job, and $300 in my pocket. Yeah, I like Columbus.

turbosi44 Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 With the laws on modding cars I would never live there.You can get your car impounded for lookalike hid head light bulbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate1647545505 Posted August 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 Thanks for all the guidance. Its something that I would love to do and the compensation with the cost of living is about the same as my current salary. I think it may come down to "chasing you dreams vs working a job".

Guest hotrodmama024 Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 I lived there 18 years, and left my family behind. I would never move back! Its horrible for having or enjoying fast cars, cost of living is atleast double, and there is way to many people and different races crammed together. How is that. The women are hotter out there though, if you like ditsy, fake women. hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
