AKA_Monet--yeah, living in SF is very expensive...my parents have a house there, and while I would LOVE to go back there to live after I graduate from college...I really don't know if I"ll be able to afford it!
Ahh--the only bad thing about Cali is--you hit on it AKA_Monet--San Andreas Fault. YIKES.
