Un-anchored

I find myself in the situation of having quite literally no ties to the area I'm living in (San Diego). And the Preparedness Bug tells me that Southern California would be a crappy place to try to survive after an Apocalyptic Event (anything that knocks out all government services for the foreseeable future).

I've lived here since I was 7 years old. But right now I have, quite literally, NO friends/acquaintances. The people I work with are the only real world people I have any contact with, so there's absolutely NOTHING tying me to this area right now.

If I chose to, I could move somewhere else with no more effort than packing the minimum into a rented trailer.

And I need to start preparing to move any way. Rent's going up almost a hundred Jan 1, and the Landlady's making noises about selling the place, despite the depressed market. I need to reduce my outgo significantly any way, so this is a good time to think about it.

Do I even want to stay in San Diego?

I've never lived anywhere else that I can remember, but for a single year I spent in Salt Lake City, so I'm really used to the Big City. I probably wouldn't move to a small town, but almost any other city in the country is going to be significantly smaller.

[Most likely this is just idle speculation. Getting myself stirred up just to move is going to be hard enough. Moving to another city? Not bloody likely.]
