[quote=SmellsFeeshy]Based on that criteria I’d say you made the right decision to stay in SD. Bottom line it just depends on what your priorities are. If your top priorities are close commute to tech jobs and good schools then SD is pretty hard to beat. But up here I can drive to San Francisco in 30 mins for great food and culture, or drive 1.5 hours to Laguna Seca for a track day. That’s definitely something I can’t do in SD ;).[/quote]That is very true. If I’m a SINK or DINK, I’d probably be up there as well. Because like you, I’d probably take advantage of food in SF and Laguna Seca (as well as Tahoe), just like you. But priority change when I have dependents and gotten the desire to retire early. It’s much harder to achieve that up there. Down here, I can have a big home near work with good school as well as have enough extra money to buy investment properties. No way I can do the same up there.
