We'll be moving from Gallup area, and will probably relocate to ABQ late this summer. But there is a small chance that San Diego might be a possibility. The weather there.......wow. And real actual water! And air lush with oxygen and not super-thin due to elevation.
But as a teacher and a secretary formerly from the Midwest (with paychecks from those jobs), thinking we'd do better to stay in NM. Don't know how teachers and secretaries even pull it off financially in San Diego.

San Diego would be a tough one..plus.. I don't like large cities. We live in Lompoc,which is quiet and right near the beach. Good prices too. Weve been here 14 yrs. Its been good to us!

Sorta wish we'd bought something there a couple years ago when they bottomed. Probably the only time in my life when it would have been possible.
