Stay or go?

The idea of leaving the Bay Area keeps coming up. Of course it does. We pay a fortune for a decentish apartment in a shitty part of town, drive by the many, many homeless tents with all the crap spread out on the ground, needles and trash, out there for everyone to see and trip upon. We watch the places we love dry up and die, change before our eyes.

More than anything, we -- I at least -- crave change. I seem to be such a wuss in making it happen. I need to get beyond this block and go for it.
