Sorry I don’t buy it. After reading this thread, the whole thing stands as testament to the sadness of leaving Sd. In a way all the denials and people coming out of the woodwork to say they’d leave too, if only…. Rings hollow to me. Sd is a place like many others, you could live in Sydeny or Tel Aviv, or Grenada and get similar weather. So its obviously more than that, that makes this a special place. I think its the combination of jobs, weather and lifestyle, all rolled into one. Kvetch all you want this place has an awesome lifestyle and that is what most people will end up missing. You can cry about it during the massive thunder storms that everyone else has, so your spouse won’t know its you.
