Being a native NYer I find it difficult to see any place more expensive than NYC to live. I hated it. Now I live in Fort Worth, Texas and when people here find out I lived there they ask why I moved. I say "you can't get more opposite of NY than Texas" I can't ever seeing me living in a big city ever again and the cost of living is just a small part of it. It's also a matter of quality of life and having the right to be happy. Not everyone is happy living in a big city. > Living in California is the best decision.

I earn enough money and almost certainly could move there and improve my income accordingly, but I refuse to waste such a significant portion of my income on taxes and overpriced real estate, both of which California bosts an abundance. That is just my take. My original comment, however, was not meant to be taken so seriously or literally. SignatureThomas T.

I believe I heard recently that San Diego and nearby areas have only show a 15% max loss in value since the peak last winter. Not too bad for a bubble burst. That is of course and average. I have seen the prices on homes out there, and compared to most other locations in the US (New York and surrounds is a notable exception), the prices in San Diego and San Francisco are simply outrageous. Speculators and builders drove the price up and crowding out there did the rest. SignatureThomas T.

The homocidal maniacs are in Boston, not Cape Cod. I've visited both places... have friends in Boston, and have driven the Cape from Hyannis to Provincetown.

Tell me about it ... we had a near miss from a Tornado that took nearly a year to get repaired (contractors are simply too busy in the Midwest these days). Still, if another big quake hits San Fran or LA, Tornado dollars spent will look like pocket change. SignatureThomas T.

Many drivers in California, especially here in SoCal, are obnoxious like that. Regardless, I find your statement to be an obnoxious, overly-broad, and patently inaccurate generalization. "Crappy driver" doesn't necessarily mean "selfish in all other aspects of life." And I've only lived here for a few years. I'm sure people who have lived here longer would be even more offended.

It derives from my experience with people there. Nobody smiles when you see them on the street. The only smiles you get are from wait staff hoping for a tip. When I was there, the people just seemed like they all lived in their own little anonymous bubble with no concern about the people around them. Northern California is beautiful; one of the most beautiful places to live in the country, but I am not so sure I like the life style. > And I've only lived here for a few years. I'm sure people who have lived > here longer would be even more offended. I am speaking strictly from my perception of the people that I met while working out there, which was for nearly two months in 2003. You know, the only native that I ran into that showed any interest in the people around him was a guy working at the Enterprise Rent-A-Car depot in SFO; the poor guy was a Dot.Com reject and seemed much happier doing what he is doing now rather than what he did previously. Now, Texas ... that is a state with people full of personality and sociable conscience. SignatureThomas T.

When I lived in Orange County (Garden Grove and Huntington Beach) I sometimes felt that driving was like flying with kamakazi pilots.

Thomas, I think he is just laying out a common theme that is used world-wide: the version I've heard the most is that just because you've visited Paris doesn't necessarily mean you know anything about the rest of France. Same goes for those that spend a week at Disneyland and think they know all there is to know about California. California is a very diverse place - everything from the queer bars in SF to deserts to snow up over your eyeballs to trees so tall you have to lay on the ground to be able to see the top of them. In the 20 years I've lived out here it has become very obvious to me that there is NO SUCH THING as the "typical Californian" (and I had a lot of preconceived notions of CA before I moved out here, most of which where dead wrong).

Sure there is, if you can potentially see the links between experiences and beliefs, and how those links are not always valid. I said your perception they were selfish was an *inference.* This was just one step that led to your implication that people in the SF Bay area were "more selfish." Anais Nin famously said, "We see the world not as it is, but how we are." The people may not have actually been selfish, or acting selfishly only temporarily, or acting that way because of the immediate situation/context. They may or may not be more or less selfish than people in other parts of California, or other parts of the country, or humans in general. "Almost" two months is hardly enough time to really know. I spent five years there and don't think I could say one way or another. I do know that great cheese comes from happy cows, and happy cows come from California. :) > Tom, > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > one step that led to your implication that people in the SF Bay area were > "more selfish."

I used to live in the Chicago area and know all about it. My dad was killed in a traffic accident caused by a snow-slicked road. Summers were miserable too with high humidity and lots of mosquitoes. I've lived in the San Francisco Bay area for some 35 years now, and have no desire to live anywhere else. There's no smog here.
