Well, I think the move rumors at work that most people wanted to ignore or didn’t know what to make of got a little more real this week when we finally announced a bit more publicly that we’re going to be expanding in Longmont, CO. There’s an article in the local paper this morning about it.
Some of us have sort of been anticipating this, and Christy and I actually took a trip out there recently. It’s actually really nice, although obviously it gets quite a bit colder during the winter there than it does in Southern California. Housing is cheaper, and there is the attractive possibility of living very close to work. There is also the side benefit of being in the “right” color of these maps for a change.
In any case, it seems better to me to be proactive and move “early” rather than waiting for someone else to force your hand if possible. Obviously it’s a pretty tough call for a couple of SoCal natives though.
