This is why I'm going to Southern California in the future rather than the Bay Area. Still, housing in California..

Yeah, orange_county is right: you're not going to find much better down here either. If you're not in Santa Monica paying bay area rent for a rundown shack you're going to make less the further inland you go, and the rents don't get much cheaper.

Housing is still expensive in socal with lower salaries. Anything in California is a bad deal in my opinion.
