California is a jumble of paradise (not the town, that’s a smoldering disaster) and insanity for business. As I’m a native, and far nearer to retirement than graduation, I’ve benefited from past investments and longevity, to the degree that I might be able to survive here after retiring. My two kids are both thinking that it may just be too difficult to settle here permanently, but both are here now… and supporting themselves. Since I find myself in the surf about 4 or 5 times a month, it would be hard to move, and leave that behind.
I heard a news story about school districts in the bay area either having to build houses of their teachers on district land or housing them in parents spare rooms like soldiers in the war of independence. The third amendment states: “No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law.” Clever that it doesn’t say “poor teacher.”
Zigra,
Sign me up for a custodian.
