I wonder the same thing. Am trying to decide if I should return to CA, or stay in Texas, where I am completing my mArch in May. I sold my Long Beach house for 456K three years ago to go back to school. Now, it goes for 660K.
LA has many jobs, great weather, the beach, lots to do, maddening traffic, gangs, crime, smog, and high density.
College Station, Texas enjoys few jobs, terrible heat and humidity, no beach, nothing to do, no traffic, no gangs, no crime, no smog, low density, very nice people, and a family-friendly environment.

unless you mean "family-friendly" in the dr. james dobson way, which is to say xenophobic, homophobic, fundamentalist, conformist, suburban, anti-urban, anti-non-Christian, anti-feminist, anti-intellectual, anti-cultural
which -- you probably don't mean
so welcome to austin, we let aggies in if they promise to be nice
oh, and though central austin housing is thru the roof my wife and i are buying a decent-sized "modern" townhouse (2/1.5/2) for $240K, which is not cheap but not LA either
if you don't mind KBHome you can buy for as cheap as $90K new, but you'll hafta commute
Real estate in Los Angeles
How many architects out there have a mortgage and a house? I wonder if i will ever be able to do that with the astronomical prices.
