i just need a reasonable house. you can see in one of the previous posts that Pacific Grove offers many houses 2k and even below. moist ocean wind when it is 40 degrees is worse than snow and no wind IMO.
By now I have excluded Salinas from my list. It is all relative I guess: 1/1000 chance of being killed within a year could be low or high depending on one's point of view. somebody expressed complaints about internet stability in the Santa Cruz/Monterey areas. Are both cable and dsl unstable? depends on the provider?
well hopefully you caught some sense of sarcasm from my post. i'm not sure what providers are in the monterey/sc area but in salinas there is basically two choices, comcast & at&t. at&t offers u-verse in some areas & the comcast is pretty reliable from what i have heard. i use at&t dsl and never really had problems with it
I'm up here in San Francisco but do visit Salinas/Monterey area to visit a friend or on a motorcycle ride. Beautiful weather throughout most of the year. You'll love it here in California, no shortage of great things to do
