Hey, Raptorduck, thanks. I looked up your top 25 reasons. They’re good. Totally with y’all here. Toward the end of my 15 years in SD, I was bored with the place and took it for granted. I was ready for real weather and a change. I forgot that real weather means you can comfortably spend about 5 days in the year outside. Since school ended this year, we’ve had a moderate to severe thunderstorm every single day.
For a couple years I commuted back and forth to the Bay area (Cupertino) from San Diego. Being a software geek type, it was fun to be there, but it always felt good to be back in SD.
NYC was a great place to visit and I thought I would enjoy it there. After a year, I decided it was a nicer place to visit than live, and I can’t imagine raising a family there. But, I’d still like to have an apartment in midtown someday.
SD is not a world class city like New York, Paris, London,… It doesn’t have the best educational center in the country. You could fairly say it’s fairly bland and vanilla. But you know, it still is just a really nice place to live. I can’t wait to get back.
