It's a shame that the bullet train in California has not become a reality. It would have given many people the option to work outside the big cities and it would have given small towns an economic boost. And you a bunch of options. Anyhow, my advice is to keep your options open by trying different cities. I would try Austin, San Diego and Portland. Los Angeles is nice but the cost of living is always rising and it's crowded. The reason is simply because it's a nice place to live. The weather is mostly great and there's so much to enjoy outside work. But you could have said the same of San Francisco 20 years ago. Now there are lots of people who are trying to get out. I think people in LA are beginning to question whether they should go somewhere else too for the same reasons San Franciscans are asking if they need to go elsewhere. I suspect that LA is not the best choice.
