On-Site at General Dynamics in Mountain View, CA
So ends my trip to sunny CA. I guess I could live here if I had to, I'd definitely find a place in Santa Cruz and make the drive over the hill every day. The three major issues to overcome are traffic, house prices, and taxes. The overall view of the entire area is grim. For instance, there are many beautiful buildings that remain unoccupied in the valley that it gave me the drive-by impression of the stench of death on a river during a Salmon run. The buildings are as vacant as an early Sunday morning. It's odd to see all the high dollar BMW's and Mercedes on the roads while the grass roots level reality is thick with desperation.
