Job market totally sucks. Since I do webdesign and "webmastering", its not an issue for me right now. Cost of living is low, though food is expensive.
When I moved there, there were fires then 2 years of drought. So the
1st 2 summers I had were dry and ugly, everything was brown for the first 22 months I was there. LAst summer we did get rain and for the first time, the grass and mountains were green. But I had already decided to leave by then.
