Funny you mentioned that. When I lived in southern California 20 years ago, every one back home in Georgia kept assuming how expensive it was to lie out there. Housing, yes was a little more expensive. Depends on where you live. Live in LA or San Diego, yes, because everyone wants to live there. The further out you go, the better. Willing to go into the high desert, even better. But a lot of the time it depends on location. Sure, I can live on the lake here for $300,000, but that's in about 1200 sq ft trailer. It all depends on location.
I took my wife and daughter out to LA a couple years ago. Rented a car and I remember gas might of been 20 cents more a gallon out there than back here in NC where we live. Heck, I can go 30 miles down the road and it's at least 10-15 cents more than where I live. And then there's a town about 6 miles away that may be 10 cents cheaper than where we live. They charge what people will pay...not a ripoff. No one made you pay there.
Would have been cheaper if you told the truth:B
