I did, but not exactly for that reason.
I moved to LA in 2004 with NOTHING. Got setup, started bringing in business, had a few clients I did regular work (marketing) with and life was good, but getting crazy expensive!
Originally I was from PA and was always in the back of my mind to stay in Cali or move back. Then the choice was easy when I broke up with my ex-gf and got a notice my rent was going up to over $3,200/mo. for a 2 bd apt in MdR.
Trying to find "help" was nearly impossible, so I said fuck it, back to the east coast.
Costs are significantly lower here, however a bit harder to get in business as it was in LA. Friends & family > LA life any day but I often really miss it and the experience I had there for 4 years.
Would I do it again? Fuck yeah! was a great time and met some really awesome people and got me to where I am today.
Now... I have a 2700 sq ft office for 1/6th of what I was paying. people here are more willing to stick to a job and be loyal. costs are less and the dollar goes a bit "further" here. However, not as many hot women, no one drives insane cars and I hate the winter time
