Who lives in NorCal?

It's not that I'm losing 3 rounds of capacity, it's that the liberal bastards would make me do it!

I'll PM you NorCal and maybe we'll get together. I'd definitely prefer a beer over coffee

i pretty much grew up in Livermore.. its a nice area. You could also consider Brentwood as a place to live.. my cousin lives out there, and i dont think rent is as bad out there as in town. (its more of a suburb)

personally i would never live over the grade towards Tracy (coming from the coast i dont like heat), but coming from New Mexico you are probably used to the heat.. Tracy i KNOW is cheaper than Livermore, and if the Lab is where you are interviewing, you just pretty much drive over the grade and take the first exit.

You're in for it if you've got issues with the liberals. If you're kind of bent over 3 rounds you better grab your ankles for everything else.
I'm not sure what it's like where you are now but it seems the economy has brought down a lot of areas of the state. You don't have to travel far to find what appears to be slums and ghettos. Just traveling down the valley to southern is dismal. Places that used to look great and thrive are shutdown, run, gone, etc.

I live in the Sacramento area and like it a lot.

I grew up in Nor-Nor Cal and moved down here for work as well. Even though I stayed in CA, it was still a big transistion. It's worked out well for me though.

...and good luck with your interview Brian.

Brian,

I work in Livermore albeit not for your potential employer. I am also a longtime Norcal resident and live 20min away so I know a lot about the area. I'll pm ya.
