So long Santa Barbara

After debating for years, my husband and I have decided to leave Santa Barbara and Southern California.
The two best things going for Santa Barbara is the climate and the scenery. However, everything else doesn't make it worth it anymore.
First there's the ridiculous housing prices. The public schools are pathetic unless you live in the really expensive area. What good is the amenities of a town when you're always working to afford them? The traffic is horrible and the drivers are worse. The city is just crowded and I honestly believe it's making everybody crazy. Life is just getting more and more hectic and chaotic here.
If you're young and single or old and rich, then maybe it's the place for you. But it's no place to raise a family with morals and proper values.
