My wife and her family are from that area. Why do you think they don't live there anymore. Traffic is absurd, housing ain't cheap, and you are in the area most people predict will detach from the rest of California....Stay in SD. There are PLENTY of engineering jobs here.

The Northridge quake was a trip. No freeways fell in Northridge, I think in Northridge proper, all the freeways are lower than ground level. There was a section of the 10 in Santa Monica and 118 between Balboa and Supulvida in Granada Hills that also collapsed at a street crossings for that quake.
But hey, California is California, we're all gonna get it at some point. That's really not the issue here.
Depending on where you are working and what kind of morning commute you like to have, there are lots of places to live in and around the valley. One of the coolest places I had was in Woodland Hills on Topanga Canyon just south of Ventura Blvd. It was at the start of the mountains and had lots of trees so we never needed air conditioning. Take a right out of the driveway and I could be up on Muhulland in no time. Take a left and the world was 3 minutes away.
