It's livable, but a little too far from the beach for me (about 15 miles). It's a trade off here. So you have to drive a little farther to get where you want to go, but the freeways are way less conjested than Orange County or L.A. and some people actually enjoy taking public transportation which is pretty good here (I myself though still prefer to blast down the freeway in a big American, gas-guzzling V-8 at 80 mph...but that's just me). As far as the job market and the economy here in SoCal is concerned, I think Mel Brooks said it best - "It stinks on ice". Aloha - SWJ P.S. - if I could swing it, I'd sell everything, buy a boat and sail off to Fiji tomorrow...and as we all know, tomorrow is just a dream away.
