> Easy access to nature means I can go on a scenic five-mile hike between lunch and dinner.
So can I, as I mentioned there's a major state park within the city limits where I live...
> It means I can see a beautiful view without planning a day trip.
Incredibly vague and subjective. What constitutes a "beautiful view"?
> I can meet with groups of friends of all fitness levels and enjoy a pleasant afternoon outdoors where we all have fun.
Not unique to the SF Bay Area at all.
Again I think this is very much a cherry-picked definition of "easy access to nature" that is designed to preclude any place not named "SF Bay Area." Still, the kinds of things you were describing can be found in metro areas all over the country.
- legerdemain 6y agoI'm not sure why you feel this need to argue that other regions are just as good as the Bay Area. Are you a tourism promoter? Whether you're right in absolute terms is insubstantial. What matters is that hundreds of thousands of people feel the way I do, and that's why we moved here or stayed here.
