[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here

thanks to all!  I am going to comb through this post and make a list and start researching areas one by one.  As I mentioned in my initial post, we're both in healthcare (physician and nurse practitioner) so we're very flexible when it comes to finding employment.  Our salaries would likely be similar (if not higher) elsewhere than they are in DC.

However, that is besides the point.  We're moving mostly because we want to drastically simplify our lives.  Also, I'd love to live in a community where there are some white collar professionals (academics, doctors, lawyers, IT professionals) but also the whole range of blue collar jobs.  I don't need to live on the same block as my plumber or hairdresser but I'd like to rub shoulders at the grocery store, attend the same church, have our children attend the same school, etc.  In NW DC our world is almost 99% wealthy and ultra educated.  It's fine and exciting and stimulating but it's just not for us and not what we want to live around for the next 40 years.  Also, in DC (outside of Takoma which we live no where near) there are no hippies, no artists, etc.  Even the college kids around here are ultra preppy (where are the starving artist alternative/grunge kids?)  I hope to find some of that where we move next. [/quote]

Someone else mentioned SF for you, but honestly, I think San Diego could be a great fit for you. Tons of healthcare but not as ridiculous expensive and lacks the NorCal snobbery (think the South Park episode with SF being infested with "smug"). [/quote]
