There's another great thing about the west coast that cheap houses can't get you- and it's a beautiful culture of outdoorsiness and insanely easy access to mountains, oceans, and desert within an hour or twos drive- this is true from Seattle to San Diego.
You can seriously go on a little mini vacation every weekend for almost no money. I suppose if money were no object - why would you choose to live elsewhere?
- erikpukinskis 8y agoThe mountains are more like a 4h drive from San Francisco though.
- tjr225 8y agoSure but you have incredible and unique protected beauty just north of the Golden Gate Bridge so SF gets a pass.
- erikpukinskis 8y agoBeauty yes, not mountains.
- Apocryphon 8y agoThat's why a lot of Californians have been moving to Denver or Boise.
- paul7986 8y agoSame goes for Baltimore with mountains(Shenadoah, VA or mountains in central PA), beaches (MD, DE or NJ) and amusement parks all within 2 to 3 hour drive. Friends and I last weekend went hiking in PA (loop trail with 25 mid to large size waterfalls - Ricketts Glen) and after went to amusement park in the woods (Knoebels) for a few hours. Cool you like the west .. it's just too expensive and socialistic for me. Independent voter here.
