I'd stay away from San Jose since its very expensive to live and there is ALOT of traffic. I live in Sacramento about 40 miles north of Stockton and I ride just about every day its not raining. Stay away from Stockton now a days. Lots of chrime.

For a while I was commuting from north of Fresno into San Jose, and would leave Sunday night. One Sunday night I came to a complete stop in bumper to bumper traffic, out in the middle of nowhere, over Pacheco Pass, about 110 miles from San Francisco. I couldn't figure out what the hell was going on. Couldn't see an accident, nothing, Crawling. It finally dawned on me...it was the Sunday night at the end of Thanksgiving weekend, and this was the end of the line of traffic going back into "The City".
110 ****ing miles.
Sacramento traffic? I'd put a bullet in my mouth before I'd live there.

HAHAHAHAAAAaaaa!!
I guess that depends on how much "much" is.
I've driven through the middle of Sacramento during morning rush, (through Elk Grove, btw), 7-8-ish, and early afternoon, at least once a year for the last 15 years. Now, I find it much, much easier to get to central Ca by going through Yosemite on 120. I'd rather be behind a motor home at 27 mph and enjoying the scenery, rather than be in bumper to bumper traffic at 2.7 mph and seeing nothing but the license plate in front of me.

I've lived and worked all over and frankly nothing comes even remotely close to California.
Bear in mind that California is a really big state. Look at a map. Not kidding! Compare left coast to right coast. California stretches from New York down to Florida on the left coast . . . that's a whole lot of real estate!
I've lived: In the Bay Area, In the mountains just east of Sacramento, Ventura County and presently a coule of blocks from the beach in Orange County. If I were moving to California for the first time from Minnesota I think I'd highly recommend the Chico area, and the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains just to the east of Chico. Housing will be similar in cost to what you are familiar with, the roads simply amazing and your salaries will be quite competitive vis-a-vis the cost of living. Also the politics in that area will suit you.
