Totally Agree,
If you can't make it on 100k then you must have money management problems.

Nobody in this thread said anything like "you can't make it here on $100K".

My rule is to get through the traffic portal by 330 pm or you'll age a lot and burn $$ sitting in the mess.

I'd move to Detroit before I'd put up with LA traffic

You shouldn't have trouble at 3:30p (or after 6:30pm) going from SV to MV.

Thanks to all, some good areas to look at. I'd heard Mira Mesa Blvd is a prob, and of course the office is just off it in the middle(!), so I'll definately be looking at some creative start/finish timing. I'm used to that, was hoping for less commuting for this job, but I'd prefer the place we live in to be more interesting so I'll keep up the 45minute commute!

I'm glad to hear the transport etc in closer is good, and there'll be lots to explore I'm sure!
