I love this city. It in most ways it is far superior to Minneapolis. I have visions of raising my kids competitively sailing in SD bay. Visions of teaching them to surf at pipes. I lived for two years on a boat off shelter Island which is one of the greatest experiences of my life. It is amazing! I would be hard pressed to find a more amazing city in the country. I love it here.
But the cost of living is prohibitive to a family oriented, single income earning, private school provided life style that I badly want to provide. Maybe I will strike it rich in my next company or the one after that.
I badly want to settle here. In many ways more than Minneapolis, but it is filled with fiscal retardation not found in most other places.
