It is hard to go back. I grew up down there (Orinda) and I have quite a few friends that are now living in Walnut Creek, Concord, etc. to try and stay in the same area but where they can (sort of [img]/forums/images/icons/tongue.gif[/img]) afford to live.

I chose to move "far away" and for what I paid for my 10 acres (and pretty nice house) I couldn't touch real estate down there.
