It takes two such salaries to have any hope of buying even a modest house unless you'd like to make long commutes in bumper to bumper freeway traffic. Nevertheless there is much that is still very attractive about the area, so don't let me dampen anyone's urge to send their resume...just look carefully if you get offered a postion. Lucy Skjelstad
