Are you nuts? "relatively low cost of real estate" When compared to what? SF Bat Area, one of THE most expensive areas in the country? One of the reasons many companies are leaving CA is because of the high cost of doing business there. So I guess Folsum is the "token" for California. There are far more deserving areas in the country than Folsom. How about Hawaii? Folsom CA? Are you nuts?

Sure, its somewhat expensive but right now the real estate prices are relatively low for a southern coastal city. Also, the lifestyle is great (sports, surfing all year around).

What you have to understand is that Johnson County, Kansas (next door)is even better. It has several smaller cities, but more people in the county than Kansas City, Mo. Very highly rated schools, several colleges, and only 30 minutes from Kansas University. It also boosts over 30% of the GNP for the state of Kansas. Kansas City is a great place to start a business.

For the last two decades, Plainsboro has benefited from the high taxes WW residents have paid in being a part of the "WW-P" school system, one of the best public systems in the state. In fact, growing up, WW residents referred to the comparably poorer Plainsboro as the "hood" or the "borough", in a strictly pejorative sense. But nothing described here is untrue-for up and comers, the 'hood ain't a bad place to run the streets. Frankly, Plainsboro is the little brother to West Windsor, the neighboring town.
