2) My wife is looking at houses in Thousand Oaks area, looks like that will be an hour+ commute though === please advise....looks like the best way to commute is taking 101 to Malibu Canyon/Topanga Canyon/27 to PCH.

thanks for your help
Leave your wife with the car an get yourself a motorcycle you will cut your commute time in half at least and make a few biker buddies.

Where on the east coast are you moving from? And are you interested in sharing any moving expenses?

If you're addicted to commuting, you'll love TO. You could be in your car 3+ hours a day if you go in the heat of rush hour. If you go during semi-off times, it's much less but WHY live that far away? Check out Culver City if you need cheaper housing, Brentwood if you can afford it.
