Not to mention all of those very tall hotels downtown... Water is always very high on my preps agenda...

I'm a mile or so south off of Buffalo... Actually, I am envious of where you live... That was a family get away trip when I was growing up... Haven't been to Arrowhead in decades...

I moved up here last year to get out of LA. I work in technology and so all of the jobs are in LA. I was paying 1,500/mo for a shitty 2 bedroom apartment and just had a daughter. I was offered the opportunity to work from home and I immediately started looking for a new place... I looked up here 4 years ago and rent was still way expensive... I looked up the prices again last year and they went down enormously, i was able to rent a 5 bedroom log house for 1,100/mo and moved my fam up here... Then the technology markets crashed on August 1st and since I was part of the worlds largest technical services firm, I was subsequently laid off in October.... I picked up a job with a 50% pay cut in Pomona because i'd rather stay here than move back to LA... Especially if the SHTF later this year or early next... Definitely a better place to survive if you have to—hopefully the economy turns around in the next year or so and I can think about finding a better job again...

I grew up in Ontario but haven't lived in Cally since the mid 70's... I think you made a smart choice for your family staying out of LA... Money is not everything in life...

I grew up in Ontario too, in the 70s/early 80s. Recently drove through during a So. Cal trip. Man oh man what a hole it's become. Visited Pomona too as a child, can only imagine what it's like now. That isn't living, people, gtfo. Jmho.
