I recently moved. Most of my new friends aren't from here, they came here for work, but they consider it their own city now and are part of the community.
It's different in a "commuter city" like San Francisco. That means the majority of people don't even live there during the day, and even their job might be temporary. Unfortunately most are there to make money, not friends.

Available grandparents make everything about raising children easier, especially for working parents. And then the grandparents will connect the kids with their friends, their friends families and grand kids too. And so on.

- hot_gril 2y agoAre you talking about San Francisco? I don't know, probably.
