Im a single mom with a 15 yr old dd and the dad is gone.I live in gorgeous Santa Barbara Ca where Im 2 blocks from the beach, I got movie stars as neighbors(I live 10 min from Oprahs 40 million dolar mansion) I got mountains on one side, palm trees on the other.the best weather, the only way I can afford it is that Im on gov housing and I get cheap rent. The norm is 1,500 a mo for a small 2 bdr place. .So why do I want to move? Im tired of being the only "po folk" in town except the homeless crowd. The people out here are SO materialistic. My dd is being raised with all her friends top priority in life is to have the right kind of Ipod and the shirt of the week at Juicy. That sets her diff from everyone else. and thats tough for a teen. Also, I was glad that this was a college town filled with school minded young people, but its all about the prostitute clothes and how drunk they got and how many sex acts and with who. I know that it is a sign of the times, but its extra bad here.
