[quote=ctr70]ABQ is NOT my hometown and I have never lived there nor would ever. ABQ is a piece of crap ugly sunbelt sprawl city. I grew up in the Boston area and also in Vermont. New England where I’m from is still a place in the U.S. that has very handsome neighborhoods and has retained it’s character. I am looking at moving back to New England or Seattle WA (especially since NH and WA have no state income tax…I hate giving the criminals in the CA democratic legislature almost 10% of my income). San Diego bores the living sh*t out of me and has no architectural character and I hate the culture here. If you think SD has well groomed 80 yr old neighborhoods you either have no taste at all or need to get out more. Go visit some of the neighborhoods outside of Boston, Minneapolis, Seattle, NYC. San Diego’s neighborhood are ugly as sh*t. Either souless, sterile, cookie cutter stip center north county or ghetto east, central and south county
I also do not have kids and if I did I would never, ever raise them in the cultural wasteland of San Diego. Massachusetts, Connecticut, Vermont, etc… have the best public schools in the U.S. They have the highest test scores in the U.S. It is just generally a much “higher” culture back there then “Ghettofornia.[/quote]
Wow. If you really feel that strongly against San Diego, you should definitely move out of it. Life is too short to be miserable or not happy in the city you live in.
I don’t see San Diego the same way you do. I think it’s one of the best places you could raise a child if you can comfortably afford it.
