KD in CA Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 We thought hard about this a couple years ago when I was searching for a job. When it came down to it, there aren't a ton of places we really both wanted to be, could stand the weather, had a good job market, and had top-notch school systems like we had in CT. Potential jobs in Atlanta, Jacksonville, Indianapolis and Phoenix were all significantly less appealing than San Francisco. Yes, the apparent civic pride in having smelly vagrants roaming the city at will continues to puzzle me, but that aside it's a great city and moreover, the surrounding areas are spectacluar and there is a ton of stuff to do. Of course, paying $3M for a 400 sf house kinda hurts, but what are you gonna do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Just now, JR in Pittsburgh said: 1) I would definitely say miami, but for the traffic. I don’t think I could bear the traffic out there. Would probably vote Miami as a place for a second Home. 2) why do you like LA better than San Diego? I am not a fan of LA and I love San Diego, but I will admit that I have spent more time in SD. I'd live in orange county, but not LA. Never been to San Diego, so can't say.

I've never been in such a cool area that sucked to badly. So glad I'm gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LA is my favourite city in America by far.... but I couldn’t pick a favourite outside of it. And I’ve been to 43 states. What’s yours?? Favorite city in the USA that is not LA or NYC? Chicago.

My god, the women. I lived there here for some time so it definitely feels like home when I go back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it’s changed but we drove through Gary on the way to Chicago to get married. Thomas Dolby’s Blinded Me with Science was on the radio.

frostbitmic Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Outside of the politicians, Washington DC is pretty cool. The politicians however should be moved to Flint, Michigan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My home was literally a couple hundred yards from multi-million dollar mansions. Westerndecline is right, however. It would be impossible to live there now with the traffic and the sky high prices. SF bought its demise with the Willie Brown machine, and confirmed it with Gavin Newsom. Ed Lee, Rose Pak, and 'Shrimp Boy' were just the cherry on its titanic iceberg. It could've continued to be an innovative city, but it's just a stopover for the chophouse crowd. I lived there quite a while, and culturally its finest remaining assets are mediocre burritos in the 'Mish' at 2am - I can't think of decent local bands since American Music Club and Deerhoof (My apologies to those who sing Journey at karaoke). There's just an air of stupid over that town... from the 'broheims' and the well past their date hipsters, to the high-rise elder-in-training complexes in South Beach, the town is just a mess. The last bastion is maybe the Opera. It'll come back, because the area is just too stunning to play the fool for long, but its time is certainly not now. I guess 'What is Best City, Bro' is such a complex question. I like Portland, and lived here previously through what I consider its finest moments. I've moved back 17 years later and it's being built up, but I think it's in decline from what it once was. Is there a town with good country music left?
