San Diego. Why do you love it?

[raptorduck]

I almost decided to post, for a 3rd time, my “Top 25 Reasons Why I love SD.” But I realized I would probably violate an unwritten Pigg rule or something by doing that. So you can search for it.

I also agree with the “taking where you live for granted” point. While I loved living here the last 2 times I did, I still realized I took things for granted after I moved away. I hope to not do that as much this time, but I know I will.

I am actually missing some things about the Bay Area already. It does offer many things SD does not. But there are other things I don’t miss and being here 2 weeks has already solidified the strong reasons why I moved back to begin with.

Every place has a pro and a con, but I don’t miss living in New York, Connecticut, or Florida and don’t feel I took much for granted when I lived there. Maybe NYC a bit, which is a place that I love to visit, but don’t want to live in. Hey, where have I heard that before?

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.

Best of San Diego?

I hope someone has mentioned the swarms of hottie college girls in small bikinis strutting their stuff at Ocean Beach!

I do miss them.

Now that we are up in Silicon Valley, we’ll be going to Santa Cruz beaches tomorrow, but it just won’t be the same as Ocean Beach.

*sigh*

Ahh, but my wife is 6-months pregnant…and if we were going to Ocean Beach she would probably watch my neck twisting to gawk at the hotties, and then she would kick my ass when we got home. So at least i’m avoiding that scene!

Hi, dharmagirl. No, I didn’t buy a house in Harveston. I would consider that area, but prices are still too high for me to buy at present. I think they will continue to depreciate a bit more.
