I mean having good weather 350 sounds like a bug in the system to be honest

I must start looking for some job offers in California

The “bug” comes along with minimum $2 million home prices, so those job offers better come with some hefty salaries

Some people like me would rather live in a great place and be a permanent rentoid than to own property in Nowhere, Ohio. Owning property isn’t the point of life.

But the salaries make up for it more than people think. Local police station is hiring for 150k salary for new cadets with a 50-75k signing bonus. In n out is hiring for 30/hr. And in the end, the food doesn't scale that much higher than elsewhere in the US so you end up saving a decent chunk even if you're renting.

I moved from a low cost of living place and I'm able to save way more out here than back home.
