Three words: Cost. Of. Living.

A house there costs like 17 times what it does here. Friends of ours who moved there briefly several years ago said that a home the size of ours would cost over $500K. It cost us just a little over $100K.

Plus, you know, there's the earthquake thing. The fall into the ocean someday thing. Those tend to put me off a little.

Great place to visit though!! Have a good time! I've always wanted to see San Francisco, but airfare from coast to coast is god-awful expensive.
