1. One should always find one’s “place of the heart” wherever it may be. 2. If your only two places of consideration for that are New York City and San Francisco, I recommend purchasing an atlas and taking a drive. Imagine an old woman on a rocking chair in the mountains, declaring the only places she’s been, and wants to be, are her cabin and the county seat. The author isn’t that culturally, psychologically and aesthetically removed from Granny in the sticks. It’s a big wide wonderful country and planet. Might be nice to see a little more of it. But if SF is your place of the heart, your querencia, then you should and will stay, because what everybody else says won’t matter. But if it is mattering to you, you should probably consider other options...
