Shift/Command/4

This one should be pretty self-explanatory.  I'm basically just looking for the stories of people who have moved across country.  I found one of a guy who moved to Seattle on Reddit:
Most of the people are worried about meeting people in Seattle, which isn't something I'm concerned about at all in California.  I'm going to feel like I'm on vacation for the first 3 months or possibly forever, so that's not a practical worry.
Maybe we should go see Yellowstone on the way down.  I've been meaning to go there forever.  I guess we could put together an itinerary or something, but being on schedule is overrated.

There's a guy who jammed all of this shit in his car, woo!:

Trailer's might make me worry about my car, and a lot of people suggest getting a hitch added if you're going to use one.  I could go talk to the good people at UHaul.
            Some others are suggesting Sacramento as a cheap alternative to San Diego/San Francisco, but I'm still deadset on LA.  
                I don't care about moving in to government/biotech careers, either, so that's good.  I'm fine with Whole Foods, whatever it takes to make rent down there.  I'll probably spend a lot of time on Amazon Mechanical Turk, where you get paid for mindless repetitive tasks they can't quite program computers to do yet.
             My favorite piece of advice was this one:
             
            I asked my other California friend for California advice and I'm waiting for her to get back to me.  
           I found this thing about moving cross country and I'll look at it more later.  Lots of material to work through.
           Looking at some Craigslist stuff, there are some reasonably priced places!
