Mountain View, eh? My company has an office in Mountian View, where I lived for 13 years, and several more in Maryland, where I now live.

Software Engineers and Systems types are slowing moving to Maryland from MTV. They sell their 1,500 sq. ft. houses in Mt. View, Sunnyvale and San Jose and use the proceeds to buy 5,000 sq. ft. houses on 1 or more acres of land in Maryland, furnish and landscape the new place, and still have money left over.

My new next door sold their 3 bedroom in CA and had enough to nearly pay off their new house in TX and put the rest in the bank.

I guess the trick is to move away from Silicon.
