Specifically, the La Jolla* neighborhood. La Jolla is basically a peninsula, so beach is everywhere and land is kind of expensive – or at least I imagine it is. So here’s my solution. I’m building my pad right on the beach. On the sand. I’ll set up shop next door to the seals. It’s probably illegal and the authorities will probably try to tear my house down, but if I take a few seals hostage – I mean, as guests – they’ll think twice about bulldozing my bachelor pad. They’ll resort to legal measures that obviously won’t work, since everyone knows “legal measures” is really code for “what the hell do we do now.”
The trip was great and the wedding was beautiful. I danced a lot and, as planned, everyone quickly and uniformly vacated the premises, some covering their children’s eyes to shield them from the abomination that is my dance moves.
I might subject you to one of these posts later on.
*pronounced La Hoya, for reasons i refuse to believe or accept. I still want to call it La Jolla.

isn't san fran the most expensive place in the US per square foot? seems like only Manhattan could rival it.

my cousin lives in La Jolla, renting a 2 bedroom apartment for just over a grand (rent controlled) though not on the beach. it actually seemed affordable. beats my brother in downtown san fran- $1400 for a little studio...

I would like to move back to northern California. I lived in Monterey for a year, and it was beautiful. It's a tourist town with a military base, but it's only a two hour drive to San Francisco (maybe 3 with the kids). And they have really good cheese.

it's pronounced like that because that's the way you would pronounce "jolla" en espanol. it's just not all bastardized like we do here in tex-ass. ;) lucky you, getting to go to california and all. i wish i was there right now. oh wait, i'm supposed to be. goddamn.

la jolla is very expensive. as is all of southern california. specifically l.a., orange, and san diego counties. i had a fleeting moment when i was home "i guess i would be okay living in california again" but then i was stuck in rush hour traffic and looking at median housing prices and changed my mind.
