Just too expensive

I was born and raised in the City of Angels, and now I'm looking to get out.
I'm 32 years old, and would like to be able to purchase a home some day, raise a family, and not worry about money every second of every day.
Los Angeles is truly a concrete jungle. Now, if you like smog, traffic, overwhelming crowds...by all means.
Don't get me wrong. Los Angeles has quite a bit to offer. Where else can you go snowboarding and surfing...all in the same day! Where else can you go to dinner in Hollywood, and the person serving you is a star in a movie next year? Where else are you going to meet more people who are NOT from Los Angeles originally, than who are?
But, overall, for me, it just isn't worth it. Unless your making a 6 figure income, with a dual income household, good luck purchasing a home outside of the San Fernando Valley, with it's grid streets, and cookie cutter homes.
I say goodbye LA...hello to wherever I move next.
