The nice thing about the Oregon coast is that most towns are still relatively affordable to live in. There are no freeways connecting most of them over the coast range mountains, so there's a slight sense of isolation (not that there aren't a billion tourists during the season).

I so hope you move there, just so I can hear about the places you visit, and get all nostalgic. Galluccis Pizza has remained unchanged since at least 1982, haha.
