re: The house that sold for $800K over asking price speaks to the inequity of California

If you are a nurse...California is the best state you can possibly work in from a wages standpoint. California nurses are by far the best paid nurses in the country.

That's true, except weirdly enough, in the Stanford system. Another electrician friend of mine from Rochester, N.Y. brought his girlfriend, who's a nurse, out to the Valley. She's really good at what she does, and is loving the wages. But she was shocked when she was first looking around and saw how little Stanford paid compared to the other hospitals in the region. If I remember correctly, I think she said it's because they're classified as a 'teaching' hospital.
