[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The job thing, I agree, is out of control.  People massively overestimate their own importance, and need to relax more, spend less time in the office, and generate self-worth other than through their jobs.

The high price for housing thing is just a reflection of the relatively high incomes and the fact that lots of people want to live here.  [b]It is still a lot cheaper than other places like London, New York, or San Francisco.[/b]As for your question of whether people are happy raising children here, the answer is of course no. If we wanted to be happy we wouldn't have had kids.  We would be on a mini-break now on some Caribbean Island.  But we were idiots.[/quote]

actually, it isn't.[/quote]

I have to add my own "so there" to the chorus.  San Francisco is most definitely more expensive.  And you get less for your money.  I like the Bay Area a lot, but the housing is amazingly expensive.  And you will be living on or right next to two major faults, with no hope of buying earthquake insurance.  Also, as a PP said, California due to its budget problems is screwed.  [/quote]
