about the Bay Area, it’s not for me. While living in the city itself is definitely awesome that is hugely far fetched considering the cost.
More than likely I will be relegated to one of the horrible suburbs of that area such as Fremont..which in my opinion is a dump! And a VERY expensive dump at that! My buddy pays $2100/mo for his 1 bd there. Frankly I would not pay even $1000/mo to live in that sh!thole.
Another place San Jose, just plain sucks in my opinion. It is such a depressing place that I would just get bored out of my mind. Night life in San Jose consists of 1 street called Santana Row which I felt is a the very definition of a joke!
Again, if I had that kind of money I would just stay put in Southern California as I FAR prefer it to Northern California in every single way.
Atlanta is a very dynamic city. We have a guy in our office right now from ATL, a remote consultant who works for us..he is visiting our local office at the moment, and we’ve been talking. He absolutely loves it in ATL. Most people in ATL and elsewhere in the country I have spoken to absolutely love the place. The only people who diss ATL are those SPECIFICALLY from CA.
But to each his own, that´s why we have choice 🙂
Edit – and about the relationship thing, I didn’t say I was fully over her. I said I was trying to move on and I just don’t need any link with her even through a mutual friend…especially one that is leaking my info to her. My ex has a slightly stalker type personality and that is not comforting to note if I meet someone new. Read this thread again and do note the type of email she wrote me after 6 months and you will realize this yourself 😉
