It is a cool place to be, there's a crapload to do, places to hangout! My wife has a ton of family there! But, damn, it's freaking insanely expensive! My wife's old 1957 track home, 1400 sq. ft. in the Valley off of Shoop & Sherman Way is appraised at $650,000! In Atlanta, you can get at least a 4,000 sq. ft house! Taxes out there are outrageous! People and companies are fleeing California because of them, the electricity cost 2X as much as it does here!!. It's a shame, because it's a cool place, you know? :(
