Been talking it over with my better half and she's practically started packing for a California move! Couldn't get her excited about going back to Florida or Texas. I'll have to look for some place that's less than 30 minutes drive on the weekend from a dog friendly beach, 30 minutes from an airport and 30 minutes from an RC field in some place that's remotely affordable!
seriously, thanks for the info.

Hi Lucky,
310 bucks a month for T-hangars at Chino Airport (home of the Planes of Fame and Yanks All American Air Museums) and typical of the areas other airports like Riverside, SB International, Rialto, Cable (pvt), Fla-Bob (pvt), Brackett, El Monte, and south and west, SNA, LGB, Compton, VNY, BUR, and more.
There are 2000 sq foot 5 year old houses for 300 tops in San Bernadino County, Riverside County, San Fernando Valley. That's an example (small sample) of the down market and the vastness of the Los Angeles basin, there are a lot of places to live that don't cost a million dollars.
9 contests are run (Arvin(Bakersfield), Riverside, Hemet, Whittier Narrows, Apple Vally, Lancaster (multiple), San Diego (Miramar), within a 3 hour drive.
A half dozen fields (Prado, Norton, Hemet, Riverside, Whittier Narrows, Sepulveda Basin, Irvine) that I would trust to fly a 2 meter ship within 1 hour drive, and about a dozen Advanced/Masters/FAI guys ready to coach and help out.
