We're moving to Sac...

If you guys don't have gigs yet why Sac?  I was born and raised there and loved living there but frankly I hate the mini-LA big box hell hole that it has turned into...never moving back. Lots of areas are cheaper than Marin!

I would presume it would be because it's a larger job market but with housing prices more reasonable than in Marin or anywhere here in the Bay Area. Myself, I grew up in a very small town and thought I'd never want to go back to it. But after 35 years of living in the city, I wouldn't mind going small again, only not as small as where I came from (pop. 1500).

My wife and I were considering moving up that way too (mainly to be closer to our families===free babysitting!). Then the market crashed and now we wouldn't be able to sell our house. But it is the perfect time for a 1st time buyer. Shoot, you should move down here to the Monterey peninsula! Rock bottom prices right now.
Either way Big Congrats on the move! Hope everything works out great for you two!

Amen to that SCWA.  I went to college and met my wife here and yep still here.  It's not the most pleasant unless you are a fan of the city life.  Midtown restuarants are good but the urban sprawl blows. Getting from one place to another is like driving down 101 from SR to Marin.....Sucks.

I wish I could go back to Sonoma County but no way can we afford it and my job really doesn't fit in the smaller towns/city - Comercial Construction.  So we look forward to our weekends and head to the parent's house in Kenwood and out to the old stomping grounds - Bodega/North Coast to enjoy and educate the children on the world around them while some of their friends sit inside and play video games, going brain dead.

Guitarzan good to have you here, welcome.  the delta is a hop skip and a jump.  I've been wanting to hook up with more Sacto people for a day on the water, so the more the merrier.  You do know that Natomas in a flood plain don't you?    

For your wife, I would advise looking for a job with Wells Fargo.  The marketing department and communications departments are hiring quite a few positions right now and thats right Downtown in the Wells Fargo building.
