I almost decided to post, for a 3rd time, my “Top 25 Reasons Why I love SD.” But I realized I would probably violate an unwritten Pigg rule or something by doing that. So you can search for it.
I also agree with the “taking where you live for granted” point. While I loved living here the last 2 times I did, I still realized I took things for granted after I moved away. I hope to not do that as much this time, but I know I will.
I am actually missing some things about the Bay Area already. It does offer many things SD does not. But there are other things I don’t miss and being here 2 weeks has already solidified the strong reasons why I moved back to begin with.
Every place has a pro and a con, but I don’t miss living in New York, Connecticut, or Florida and don’t feel I took much for granted when I lived there. Maybe NYC a bit, which is a place that I love to visit, but don’t want to live in. Hey, where have I heard that before?
