I for one work work for said defense company, but in the San Diego location (different division). We have already hired at least on of those people from the LA division. <BR/><BR/>As for us down here, we have been continuing to hire. And it seems like most of us are transferring from New England (MA mostly). Go figure.<BR/><BR/>My boss just bought a house. He seemed pretty excited (actually more resigned) that he was getting a $700k house for $20k below comps (what can you say?). My wife's boss just bought a condo in Del Mar (2/2 for ~$425?). According to the conversation my wife overheard, he seems to think that house prices are as good as they are going to get right now.<BR/><BR/>There are a lot of clueless people still out there. I am still absolutely amazed about how few people really know what is going on. My wife and I have decided to just let people do what they want. You just can't argue with them here. Everyone just loves to say, "It's expensive here".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27885619.post-66548005396563725192007-03-19T12:48:00.000-07:002007-03-19T12:48:00.000-07:00Amgen is going to Colorado, The #1 "high salary" e...<I> Amgen is going to Colorado, </I><BR/><BR/><BR/>The #1 "high salary" employer of Ventura country.

My biased opinion is that we are being punished extra for being a single party democrat state but nevermind that. There are very few Fortune 500s left. None would ever even begin to consider locating here despite the "Pacific Century" arising. Amgen is going to Colorado, All the mortgage originators are going to the toilet. "Free trade" has gutted rational agriculture. All we do now is build urban areas.Rob Dawghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10042154106850545479noreply@blogger.com
