Participantcyphire – being a former NYer, I have to agree that So Cal is culture starved. People here say we have culture and to them it is b/c they have never lived in NY. San Francisco is the best California has to offer as far as west coast version of NY.
Every time I go visit back east, I do miss so much of it. Still not enough global warming to make me live there and endure 5 months of winter. I just know starting from Thanksgiving, sometimes as early as Halloween, the weather gets too cold for me, and that doesn’t usually get any better til April after Easter (not counting this year in March) I like to do outdoor activities and sun too much, otherwise, that would be the place to be. Scraping ice off car windows, shoveling show, icy roads, all that. I admit, I’m a wuss and can’t handle it. I thought I could do it and I tried to go back from ’93 to ’95. As far as weather, I think I’m spoiled. Been in So Cal since ’76. I just try to go back and visit as much as possible every year.
Good that you have family in Madison. Your money will go a lot farther there and be able to travel more. The thing I notice is that most people live here and don’t travel elsewhere much. Since I have traveled, I know San Diego is not the end-all be-all. I respect your decision and very selfless of you, really any parent, to live somewhere for the betterment of children. I don’t have any. If I did, I’d probably do the same, especially formative younger years, I hear is critical.

ParticipantMy parents had 3 kids. I was the oldest. My parents bought a house when I was 9. They sold when I was 12. We rented again until I was 16. I think it more important to have a stable household, attentive, caring and loving parents. It didn’t matter to me that we were renting. That was not a factor at all. When you’re a kid, there are so many other things that are important. A house may be important to a parent, but kids care if you are part of their lives and support them, teach them to ride a bike, come to their football game, music class, etc.

Participantcyphire – Congrats on your move and home purchase. Sounds great. I have a very good friend from Wisconsin. I met him in S.D. He ended up going back there to Madison to the University. He loved it there. Ended up graduating and now works for Lockheed in NJ.
One of my best friends is from Wisconsin and she is so nice. I have to agree w/you that people from Wisconsin are almost too nice, which is a good thing and rare.
I hear nothing but good things about Wisconsin, the lakes and fishing, etc. And particularly berries in August.
About CV, I had a Baldwin twinhome way back when. How did you ever expand? They were built on postage stamp lots. But I don’t think they were any worse than Pardee. I don’t think Baldwin used polybutelene piping for their plumbing.
Where from NY? Brooklyn here. Family still back there (NJ now). They love the seasons and won’t give it up.
