#25- Web offset presses. We print 90% hobby magazines...cars, motorcycles, fishing, boating, etc... We also print a large portion of the Advo mailers that every household in the USA gets once a week. [ Yeah, now you know who's to blame for your weekly dose of junkmail!]

Registered nurse, currently working for the public health department of Santa Barbara County. Before that, I worked at a local extended care center, then at the local hospital, then at a private clinic/doctors' office. Working for the public health department has been an eye-opening experience, let me tell you.

Jinn Fizz, I hope Santa Barbara is still as pretty as it was when I lived there in the late 50's thru the mid 60's.

WOM, I actually live in Santa Maria and work at the Lompoc branch of the county PH department, but I do pass through Santa Barbara on occasion...it really is a beautiful town, especially on a day when there are no clouds in the sky and the sun is shining so bright. But it's ever so expensive to live there...I believe I heard not too long ago that the median price for a house there is something like $600,000. And the rents are pretty hideous too. More and more people are working there but commuting from Ventura and Oxnard to the south and Lompoc and Santa Maria to the north.
But I certainly do appreciate getting paid Santa Barbara-level wages, even if I'm not actually working in the city of Santa Barbara.

There are lots of $1,000,000+ homes in Santa Barbara, and particularly in Montecito, which is in the southern end of Santa Barbara, and where a lot of celebrities live. Oprah Winfrey is possibly the best-known resident of Montecito.
And I'm not sure if the $600,000 figure was right, I keep thinking it may actually be $800,000, I'm just too darn lazy to do any research
. And I couldn't begin to tell ya about square footage, but I would imagine it's more than 1300 square feet. 1300 square feet sounds just a wee bit cramped for the prices you quoted, though, Design Caddy, that's for sure! 
So what part of Pennsylvania do you live in?

Jinn Fizz, I know its expensive in Calif.. My mom and brother still live in N. Calif.(somewhat cheaper there). I wouldn't and couldn't afford to move back but I do have fond memories of my time there. S.B. is nestled between the mountains and ocean.
DesignCaddy, no bigger and sometimes a little smaller.
Those houses built in the 60's were only 11-1300 sf. My dad and uncle built a tone of them.

For a living, I am a part time father of a 9 year old boy, and I work as a project manager for a national marketing company. Nothing Glorious, but it pays the bills, and most of the time its an enjoyable job.
