[quote=bearishgurl]If the Piggs will recall, none of my kids currently reside here in their hometown and don’t plan to move back.
There are very good reasons for that, which become more and more apparent to my kids every time they come back during holidays and visit their “brethren” they grew up with who stayed here and never left :=0[/quote]
Ha ha. Maybe it has something more to do with your neighborhood, or their choice of brethren. I feel the same way about Michigan, but probably for different reasons (it’s too damn cold). I’ve lived in West LA (great while young, not good for families), Maui (too remote, good for retiring not good for careers), Scottsdale (too hot in summer, no diversity), Santa Barbara (limited economy, not as much diversity), and chose to buy a home and settle here. The only negative thing I can say about SD is that housing is too expensive, but again most desirable places are.
