I love California, but it's absurdly expensive and the public schools are middling. Crazy real estate market and awful traffic. Everything is a 30-45 minute drive.[/quote]

I grew up in California and I agree.  All my family is there and I hate being so far away, but don't feel I can realistically move back.  The CA job market is still not great, at least in my field.  The places with good jobs and schools are crazy expensive and have lots of traffic -- basically, DC with better weather (although, better weather is not nothing).  It is indeed a big state with lots of cheaper and less congested choices, but those tend to be rural, economically depressed, and politically conservative; obviously I can't say the schools are uniformly bad but there are a lot of poor schools and unmet needs.  The one scenario that seems realistic to me is working in Sacramento or in a rural-ish university town ... not sure exactly what we'd do for work but the traffic, housing, and educational mix would be right.  Dunno.
