No thank you
There really IS more to San Francisco (and life) than politics. I know it might not seem like that to FReepers, but it's true.
I prefer this weather to the Los Angeles smog. I was in San Berdu (San Bernadino County) and was standing on the side of the freeway...HUGE traffic jam starting there and going all the way to greater L.A. and I could NOT see the other side of the freeway for the smog...so thick, it seemed like fog. You only have to smell the smog to know that it's not the clean, freshness of fog.
I have a good friend in mid-Texas. It's a great place but I don't care for the heat and bugs...especially those dang FIRE ANTS. One bit me; it hurt like hell and the scar lasted for a full year. OW!!!
When I was a girl we lived in Chicago for a year. All I can remember is the COLD. Brrrrrrr!!!! No thanks.
One of my oldest friends if from Fargo, North Dakota. She goes on and on and on and on and on about how wonderful Fargo, North Dakota and the MidWest are....but she is here. The winters drove her here. Hahaha. She doesn't drone on and on and on about the Midwest, North Dakota or Fargo anymore. She found a husband and is happy. What weather??? Amazing how good life is when one is happy. :o)
