Yeah, I'm doing the same thing: even though I'm enormously happy with
the job I've got.

Well, sure. Which is why I'd definitely like to see /more/ CA postings
than anything else; but OTOH, OR doesn't strike me as a big deal. If I
was living in Davis looking for a job, I just /might/ be interested in
that.

I'd be far less likely to look for jobs in NY...

But, hey, I really don't care either way; and I agree that it does seem
more /intuitive/ that postings should be in CA. I'd be okay with that:
even restricting it to /Northern/ CA (if "Northern" includes the bay)
might make sense...
