Affordable California Living?? - Beyond Tiki

We live in a tiny town on the Oregon Coast where it is very inexpensive, but also very lonely and hard hit by the bad economy. We think now and again of relocating to a place where we might find folk of our same ilk, where it's perhaps a little warmer, a little friendlier, and a little more prosperous- and yes, a lot more TIKI ! My question is this: Does anyone have any recommendations (rural to metropolitan)on where a small family might find an old fixer ranch home for cheap in a relaxed, cool community that won't take both parents and two roommates working full time to pay the rent? Or does that just not exist anymore? cheers, Seamus
