the price of living has come down a bit, but is still expensive, and people do not move down here cuzz its cool, or just to say there cool! the reason why people move here is because the city is where the jobs pay, due to the price of living also. so say you live in L.A., or maybe antioch, just some where besides the bay. a job there may pay you lets say $10 or $11 hourly.......in the bay you will recieve $15-$16 starting, and not only that its beautiful here! its perfect, never toooooo fuckin cold, or toooo fucken hot! your so close to the bay, reno, L.A. etc. it never snows, never 125 degrees, no tornados(thank god), sand storms, blizzards, etc.
Only earthquakes, and i must say ill take an earthquake instead of any other natural disaster!
