I'm not sure of what part of academia you are in (research?) but being in the academic arena myself, I know that the faculty at Cal Tech are very well paid, probably at the top of the scale.

Sadly, I'm nowhere near faculty, I'm kind of a goofy interloper who fell into biology. I'm in non-profit systems biology research right now. I'm new to it (only been in bio seriously for two years), and I've just been spoiled.

I don't want to be responsible for any NoCal/SoCal gang violence. Both areas are fantastic. Let's all make fun of Nebraska or something. (Sorry Omaha!)

My current thinking: your pointers have all been very helpful, but I think I'll have to make a couple of weekend trips down there to get a feel for the neighborhoods myself. It'll have to wait until after the Hukilau, which gives me some time to continue looking through job listings and start sending my resume out.
