Living here in SF Bay Area, I genuinely long for life in Boston, Hartford, New York, Princeton, Philadelphia, DC, etc on the north-eastern coast of US. There is sort of an old charm, hardened and battered aesthetic of these cities, withered through decades of solemn autumns and tough winters, the people and their straightforwardness, their ethic and resilience. New York accent is so cool. It's different on this side of the country with different challenges, wildfires/droughts to hollywood culture of LA, Seattle's wierdness and SF Bay's crunch and haste, impeccable sunny weather of California and the gorgeous National Parks of the west. I am sure, I will miss it if I move to east coast.
- throw_this_one 5y agoNice descriptions. How would you describe SF and the rest of CA? It just seems like it was a beautiful place that a bunch of people wanted to move to. And now there's lots of money there.
- systemvoltage 5y agoSF city? It's gotten really bad. No one wants to work there in the bay area based on every single friend I've talked to. There are some nice places in Bay Area, particularly Marin county (of course, it is a wealthy county) and the region around it is nice: https://www.marincountyhr.org/-/media/images/sites/humanresources/site-images/laborbanner.png?h=615&la=en&w=1920 https://www.marincountyhr.org/-/media/images/sites/humanreso... The rest of California is exceptionally beautiful - the whole state is blessed with natural beauty. Combine that with great weather year around and solid economy, it's a great place to live. Here is Lake Tahoe which is my favorite place in CA: https://www.sfgate.com/travel/slideshow/Hidden-Lake-Tahoe-185055.php https://www.sfgate.com/travel/slideshow/Hidden-Lake-Tahoe-18...
