What’s the point of earning a lot of money if you have to live in a crap location.[/quote]

true. some people might really like locations other than san diego. however, those that do usually dont come back and constantly keep trying to pester others how bad san diego is long after they relocated, because normally they are really happy with the move and could care less, let alone take the time to actually continue comment on a place they no longer live in. The times when people do that are usually when they move and have some sort of regret, possibly they main reason for moving had nothing to do with the economic or political reasons, and those reasons are only aftermath rationalization of their move for other reasons, that might not be completely their 100% desire..that or they are so bored with their new life at their new place they have nothing better to do…[/quote]

Im kind of bored with life generally. Have a strong urge to upend everything and start new. The rational move is to stay put and stay the course.

But there’s something to be said for just resetting everything.

I’m just too damn petty…relocation costs, home sale costs, higher tax rate. How can a person so dull and calculating ever move and try a new gig…I am in a post covid torpor…realizing, like everyone, that my life may be stuck in bad routines
