Is it still possible or are the "good times" gone forever?

Anything is possible with enough income or low enough standards.

What is your definition of "good times"?

To me it means being at peace with myself/my life and feeling contented. Which, at this stage of my life is where I am. I don't base "good times" on anything monetary.

Since some of you are obviously so miserable in California, why haven't you moved already?

I came here with nothing in my pockets and found both professional and personal success. The California Dream is alive and well, it may just be a little harder to obtain than it used to be... there is a lot more competition for a slice of that pie than there used to be.
