Weather WTF

[CountDeMoney]

No shit.  Hate getting to the office at 7:30 in the morning already covered in sweat.  That sucks.

City living is the worse when it's like that, no breeze, no air moving.  Shootings would go up, because the heat just pisses people off. 

Working midnights at the hospital, I would take my lunch breaks in the morgue.  Fuck, that felt good. 30 minutes of pure bliss in the middle of dead ass August.

Jesus.

[Caliga]

Um...er....well you got me there.

Cal seems to like it though.  Maybe it has character.

We have bourbon, horses, a low cost of living, and low amounts of crowding.... and our winters are usually mild.

We got a lot of rain followed by freezing temps, so we had late openings today. I enjoyed the extra two hours of sleep. Gonna get colder tomorrow.

Remember the winter of 2012? 50 fucking degrees almost all winter.

Youse likely had it better.

[Caliga]

Yes.  I believe that was the winter I had my boat out on the lake the day after Christmas.

One sense in which the desert beats the hell out of the rest of the South, however, is that at least it gets cold at night.

Yeah, the only thing worse than 85 degrees and 85% humidity at 2 in the afternoon is when it's 2 in the morning.

Oh man, ain't that the truth. It doesn't happen often here but when it does it's just nasty, and the daytime will only get worse. 

[Caliga]

Yeah, that was the one thing I liked about the climate up there... it always cooled off at night.  When it gets up to 100 during the day down here, it only goes down to like 95 at night.  Like I said I much prefer the heat to the cold, but I'm not going to lie and say I wouldn't prefer year-round temps in the 70s.

It's too bad So Cal is so expensive.

It's too bad So Cal is so expensive.

Well it is expensive for a reason. 

[Caliga]

Yes I know.

Honestly I could afford to live there, but it'd be a huge trade-down, house wise, and whole towns would probably be out of the question (Newport Beach, the Lagunas, etc.)

Eastern Southern California - aka the Desert/Inland Empire aren't really that expensive (apart from a few towns like Indian Wells). I know that for a long time Temecula was a super cheap area.

That said, yes if you want to be buy the coast prepare to pay an arm and a leg and then some.

[Caliga]

My boss cannot sell his house in Laguna Niguel because he can't afford to take the price down without incurring a huge loss on the property... and nobody can afford to buy it.

Related anecdote:  a friend of mine lives in Seattle and got offered a job in Lalaland.  He flew down and looked around for a week and decided to turn it down because even though he would have been getting a massive pay increase, the company is based in Santa Monica and he couldn't afford any real estate anywhere near there, so would have had a monstrous daily commute to look forward to, and decided he just didn't want to deal with that.

[garbon]

So like I said the coast is where you run into price issues.
