If I go out for Thai food once every month or two and have a really good place to go, I'm happy. If I want Mexican once a month, there are a couple places I can go to that I'm sure you'd be surprised at how good they are. I can find an excellent restaurant for just about any type of cuisine within a short drive from my house.
I take the good with the bad. There are things I hate about New England, and there are things that I love about it. I'm a big sports fan and we 4 competitive professional teams. I'm close to the ocean for fishing and I wouldn't give that up. I just can't get into the freshwater fishing scene. We have excellent schools in my town, along with parents who are very active in the school and youth sports. I live close to my parents and 2 of my 3 sisters, and that's probably the most important thing for me. Luckily, I'm in a situation where the cost of living isn't killing me, and I can live in relative comfort. If I was forced to move to better my situation for my family, I'd do it. It's funny, though. My dad lived in Sausalito for years and liked it, but was happy to move back here. My sister moved to Alpharetta, GA and loves the town, but wanted to move back here. Unfortunately, because she has MS it's better for her to live in a warmer climate.

I can relate. I lived in SF and wanted to move (back) there too and I did. I could have moved anywhere. I have nothing against the east coast. I have something against ignorance towards the rest of this country which seems predominatlty from NE or least on this board. Here is an interesting thing that drives my wife nuts. In CA or SF, no one was from there, they all moved there. In TX, no one is from here, they all moved here. In MA, everyone was from MA! No one moved there from another part of the country. You wind up with people having a smaller view of the world. No everyone, but generally. People in other parts of the country are more travelled. The party at my house on NYE had people from Colorado, Florida, Pennslyvania and Georgia. Interesting discussion and interesting places. My neighbor was an f-16 pilot, big deal in stealth technology development. Last year my party had people from MA, most intersting friend was probably my buddy the IT desktoo support guy.

No matter where you live it is all what you make of it. Just listening to Jimmy go ad nauseum about how interesting his new neighbors are compared to his old neighbors makes me chuckle;he seems like he moved next to Mr.DosEquis. Nice little melting pot you have there in the lone star state.I have a feeling the suite will be around 68 at gametime...tshirt weather.!!!I will continue to make the best of what we have and leave you to chase rainbows.

BTW, the food is great in SF just like anywhere else you pay top dollar,and I have never met anybody who cares about Indian food that smells like a convenience store filled with curry or an old dog.

ignorant comment. so cheap to eat in SF. I was 24 making pennies and ate out every day. Burritos the size of a football are like $6 now ($4 when I lived there). Burmese, Thai, Chinese, Hakanese, etc amazing meals for less that McDonalds. Indian food rules and was dirt cheap too.

I ate where concierge recommended in Chinatown which was walking distance from the Ritz, and also at some markets on the water while the wife was in class.You are probably too worldly to eat where the tourists go. Give me cat #^&#^&#^&#^& covered with litter before you offer Indian food.You know what Jimmy? You come off like a kid in a candy store...43 years old and seen it all... you go get them tiger,seems like you have seen it all and have nothing left to learn besides your neighbors occupation.What is McDonalds?Please stop trying to validate yourself to me, I honesly don't care.Enjoy your rainbows and go haunt another house.

you're weird.
SF is full of neighborhoods which tourists rarely go to. you cant compare visiting vs living there. I have plenty to learn which is why I like moving around. too many new things to see and do. And calling me a kid in a candy store is the best compliment you can give me, i hope I never lose my enthusiasm and outlook. A rolling stone gathers no moss.
