8. That is due to the high cost of living...way too high!

A 550 sq ft apt in San Diego that isn't even on the beach is $1,500 a month! Gas is $3.35 for med. unleaded and the list goes on. A person has to work two jobs if he wants to raise a family. But it is that way in a lot of cities all over the country. What we save in heating our homes and not having to deal with bad weather doesn't go far. After moving from the East Coast I always said I would rather be homeless and not freezing than homeless and freezing. It all depends on how you look at it and what your personal preferences and priorities are I guess.
