[quote=ctr70]If Seattle had even close to SD’s weather I’d much prefer living up there. Much prettier, more character, more culture, better class of people… the weather just sucks 9 mos a year.[/quote]
I don’t think Seattle would have the culture/character you describe if they had our weather. Up there when it rains, you go into your garage and make some music, or read a book, or paint a painting, etc. Why do any of that here when you can just go to the beach? The weather of any particular city shapes its culture a lot more than people think. Seattle also has one of the highest suicide rates in the country — coincidentally it also has one of the highest cloudy/rainy-day rates.
