"I have one more week until the moving truck pulls up in front of my rented 850 sg ft crackerbox and hauls my stuff to the 3000 sg ft Texas home I bought on Sunday."
Good for you! Now don't get shot between now and then. ;)
I lived in the San Diego area in the 80's. It's was nuts back then, so I can only imagine what it's like today.
My Uncle lives about 2 hours outside of LA and commutes 4 hours a day. I don't know how he stands it, but he's a film guy for Hollywierd, so he's used to abuse.
But...what happens if everyone on the coast smartens up and moves inland? Ach. It's not my problem. I'll either be dead by then, or the Second Coming will have happened and all of our worries will be over, LOL!
Enjoy Texas, LTowm.
Thank you. SAn Diego was a heck of a town to grow up in. Wish I could afford to keep living in SoCal, but I think Texas will fit me fine.
Put it this way: From 6:30-9AM, 5 south is usually stop-and-go from La Costa all the way down to the 5/805 split. 4:30-7PM, 5 north slows to a crawl around Genesee and doesn't really let up until you get to Carlsbad. Don't even ask about 15. Meanwhile, our TransNet tax dollars are spent building light rail which no one will use from the coast to Escondido.
It already is...in Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, Idaho....
