...something I like no matter where I live.

Yes, if I had to choose between Los Angeles and San Francisco, I would choose San Francisco. Northern California seems so much more appealing than Southern California. But again, if I had to live in Southern California, I'd choose San Diego. I have sort of a closed mind about Los Angeles. I have the impression that it is too busy, too hectic. Not a place in which I would feel comfortable. But then, I should have an open mind. Not a closed mind. I probably could find something I like no matter where I live. --Jim Broede
