And we lived in Corona, which was awesome. We have 3 kids and corona has Great schools, safe neighborhoods and we could get a 4 BR home in the 500s.

We loved the weather, beach, activities, youth sports leagues, and we had a great LDS ward and stake. We still miss it. We left because I was offered a job that paid the same salary in AZ with the opportunity to work less and enjoy the much lower cost of living. Otherwise we would not have moved...honestly, my family's heart is still in socal. If you embrace it, you will like it. There are so many positives.
