Itās aeful. Donāt bother with it. Traffic is a freaking nightmare.

Basically, we have to move in about 6 months when our lease runs out.
California made sense when we moved here, but now Mrs thecurl travels a helluvalot on business - mainly to NYC, London and Africa - so being on this coast (and several hours from the airport) means pretty much an extra day at each end of the journey for her.
So the East is logical - but I'm not returning to NJ/NY winters - I left the snow shovels behind when we moved here, and I'm not going back to that.
Besides, NJ/NY are dear to rent or buy in.
Atlanta airport is a major hub, wherever you're going.
Final factor is I'd like to do more acting, and Atlanta is the place to be for that these days - this month, 29 movies or TV shows are being filmed there - and that's just major players.
Negative is that, the one time I went there, for Dragoncon, I didn't like the place much.

took me an hour to drive two miles and that wasn't on the highway. winters here aren't as long as NJ (I've lived there too). issue with winters here is that no one knows how to deal with them so it's really a lack of ability to handle the weather. for example we don't have the equipment to do things like sand all the roads and people never learned how to drive in snow/ice conditions.

Just had to chuckle at NY/NJ's mini-Snowpoacalypse yesterday... snow equipment and all. I just walked home (a mile) during ATL's event... was fun for me... but understand commuters' frustrations. I think ATL is perfect in terms of still getting to experience a nice snow event on occassion without having to deal with it constantly. A blizzard every now and then is usually awesome... just not when it hits unexpectedly at rush hour.
