    I just came back a terrific conference in San Diego, and had some good quality time to enjoy the beach and ocean air. No wonder it costs so much to live there. If I could afford it, I think I would :) Where is the place you would want to live, if only you could afford to?

        I spent four years in San Diego, and then had to move first to Boston, and then to New York. Still dream about SD - I wish I could go back. BTW, both Boston and NY are way more expensive than San Diego.

                  My brother was stationed in San Diego for 4 years (United States Marine Corp). He just moved home about 6 months ago and is already contemplating going back. I told him he should stay in SD but he wanted to move back to Connecticut for some reason. I went to college in Boston and now live in New Jersey (Bergen County) and I do not think San Diego is as expensive as either. I still wish I went out to visit him atleast once, I regret it now. P.S. I am posting for the first time with Shogs Quick Reply, its great nice work!!!!

                              I lived in San Diego for 15 years, and saw the rolling hills turn into housing trak developements, traffic congestion skyrocket, and the citizens vote for a new baseball stadium instead of a new library. Thanks, but no thanks. I'm happy living in Rhode Island, and at the end of this month we're moving to an even more rural location in New York. I like being able to hear silence, as opposed to the incesent sound of traffic. I like being able to go on bike rides without being crushed by buses and motorists or being forced to go biking in "parks". I like being able to take hikes in the countryside without driving an hour or more through El Cajon to get to the mountains. And frankly, I like the seasons. Yes, even shoveling snow. But, I must say, one thing I don't like are the ticks. Marc My website

                                      Hawaii. (Funny thing is, until about eight years ago I had dismissed Hawaii as being overhyped. Then I did a film project on the North Shore of Oahu and stayed there a week in a house on the beach. I fell in love with the place. I still plan on going there for retirement since I've been told by many people with direct experience that it's not a good place to raise teenagers.) The San Diego area is a very close second, though I'd probably choose to live in one of the towns around San Diego rather than inside the city. Anyone who thinks he has a better idea of what's good for people than people do is a swine. - P.J. O'Rourke

I remember when I moved to Las Cruces from the east coast and all I could see was beige .. beige beige beige .. but after living there for 4 years I must admit you begin to notice there are many many shades of beige .. there is green beige, red beige, pink beige, etc. I've since moved back east and I must admit I miss the night sky and watching storms come over the organ mountains ... but I still hate beige :-D
