No wonder they want to live there

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?
Hawaii. Never been there, I just hate cold weather (writing this in Minnesota, or as it's known, Minneso-cold).

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!!!!

But when you are in someone's heart, its cool out there and may be better than being in Estes park;) Pravar My Image Processing Article! Rate it!!

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

I live in the UK but I had [part of] a holiday there in 1996. Yes, it's nice. Kevin

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

I actually like where I live in Upstate South Carolina. Great day-to-day living, close to the mountains, a few hours from the beach, Atlanta and Charlotte are close enough for the rare city fix. Basically, the grass is green enough for me right here. :) BW

Same, but I no longer like driving in ice/snow, totally out of practice. And yes we did get 1.5 inches last winter down here! Just took a days vacation and let the crazies have their way. I do not mind getting old. It beats all the other options that I can think of.

Mike Ellison wrote: Where is the place you would want to live Actually I have liked every place I have lived. From LA, to Chicago, central Kansas and Fort Worth. All have qualities to like. So the descriminator for me will be where my kids wind up. If my ship comes in it will be in the country probably East Texas assuming the kids stay in state. Quite, hills and trees, not a lot of hustle. If they move out then further north, but in Trees and rolling hills. A stream for my own little hydro-electic plant would be a bonus.
