Hey Ed, you live in Santa Cruz right? I've recently been thinking about moving there myself. My question is this: do you recommend Santa Cruz as a place to live for a bachelor on a tight budget? Should I look for a nearby town instead? I know Santa Cruz is expensive, but I have no problem living off of ramen and no TV or internet for a while! Your opinion would mean a lot :)

no i do not, its extremely expensive to live in sc… danielle and i lived in a single room with our cat guppy for 6+ years when we moved out together and that room still cost us 550 a month, and we lived in a rickety old santa cruz Victorian that had rats with 8 other people (and 2 bathrooms).  

after gish came out i was able to make enough to move in to a studio with D but it was pretty far out in the woods and still cost a shit load of money… 

we got really lucky in the late 2000s when we found a small apartment in liveoak that was cheap enough for both of us to pay for it if we worked our asses off. this is the apartment in the movie and the one we lives in for quite a few years.

santa cruz is very expensive to live in and the work here isnt good at all. i stuck it out because the few close family members i have left live here and so do my niece and nephews and i cant leave them.

if you must live in SC look for a place in liveoak or out in the woods, maybe watsonville (a town 20 min south). those are your only real options unless you wanna live with a butt ton of college kids
