Us down here in Socal pay major living expenses to live here even in the suburbs.....
BUT- you cant beat the car culture. Weekly car shows that have TONS of exotics, 80 degrees last week, cruise PCH in February in this stuff is pretty crazy. Car lovers dream out here, wont be moving anytime soon either

Yeah, Last time I was in Seattle, it didnt rain much, it had a lot of variety of food, it was clean, reminded me of LA since it had the 101 and the 5 running thru it, and i thought to myself maybe i should move up there for lower cost of living.....10 years of school, and i can only afford a nice townhome or a crappy old house in LA, definitely not what i signed up for. Friends that got in before the 2002 are set...too bad i was in grad school during that time.
Oh trust me I know!!!! I used to live in Laguna Niguel, Aliso Viejo, and Palm Springs!!!! So I know the cost of living down there very well, pretty much the reason why I live in Portland now, I can buy a house now here vs. down there I would probably have to wait another 10 years or until I got married!! But nothing beats the weather, the drives, and scenery- cars and beaches!!!!

Cost of living isn't that good up here in Seattle, at least not anymore. It has the highest per capita of middle managers and above in the country. Meaning it has the most percapita of people making 100k per year. This makes everything expensive up here. Housing especially was getting bad before the whole country's economy went into the crapper. Still Seattle only started showing signs of slow down in the past couple of months.
Of course, it still costs more in places like New York and Cali, but those places almost offer higher salaries.
