Try living in California. The reason we have our housing prices jumping through the ceiling is NOT because of bad spending or any such thing, it is because you have what could simply be distilled as supply and demand ON CRACK. You have people wanting to move to prime real estate in large numbers driving up the prices of said real estate due to low supply and high demand. The good jobs have the same situation, forcing people into jobs that can't pay for the housing. It has little to do with that kind of thing, for one.

For two, I LIKE the idea of living in the state in the Union that has the MOST pro-labour laws in the country, not to mention being one of the few, the proud places that resisted the red tide of November 2004. I wouldn't want to move to a state that went solidly for Bush with the state gov't going the same way, there are some people in that part of the country who would consider me firewood, thank you.
