San Francisco is awful

Good for you. I walked out on my back porch, took a whizz off the deck, and shot my AR at some squirrels. Then I went down to the stream to see how my latest batch of corn liquor was coming along. Well, part of that is true, but when I move back to East Tennessee in a few years it will all come true. You can have the city. Been there, done it, had enough.

Honestly if you can live in the suburbs you can live in the city. San Fran may be a step too far. but you get the exact same issues in the suburbs.

Yes we do. And the great thing about this country is the ability to do that. Not to digress too much, but that is why the electoral college is so vastly important. You want to live in high tax cities, have at it, but I don't have to pay for your programs.

I don't claim to have the most life experience, I am 41, so not a spring chicken, but not an old timer yet, either...

In my experience, it's best to live in a rural or small town area, with in say 1 hour of a city large enough to have reasons to go there for entertainment, sports, socializing, et

We live in a small town of about 5,000 people, in a county just south of mecklenburg (Charlotte proper). I am 10 minutes down I85 from charlotte Douglas airport (9th busiest on earth) 20 minutes no traffic from downtown (30 at rush hour) but live in the next county so I don't have the increased property taxes, retail sales tax, breathing tax, etc that come with living in Charlotte. The city itself has a den mayor, and has voted dem on the last few elections...but the state and the county I live in are solid red...thank you Lord. Property values in my area have gone way up as other people are figuring out that Charlotte is too crowded and taxed...which is great for me. Lord willing, we will cash in the 60k in sweat equity (my sweat) in our 1st home and build a slightly bigger new home next year...another 15 minutes away from Charlotte on a bigger piece of land, on a more country setting. If the economy holds up, i will be able to build a 2000sf house with a garage, new, for about 90k...that will appraise at 150 to 160k at closing. I will have my equity back, but i plan (Lord willing) to pay it off in 20 years and leave it to my wife when i die. Note i didmt say retire...i don't think that i will ever be able to, which is OK...of my boss does the same as last year, i will have 50k in my 401k...and that is for my beautiful wife, too. I want her to be able to retire, even though i won't. She is a great woman, and deserves it.

Anyway, that's my take...to each their own..

Nah man, you're just trying to start **** that ain't there.

If I say "Man, I haven't seen that person in a while..." It wouldn't be too far fetched to assume that could be as long as a decade.

Not in the context he used. He was talking about temperatures and casually posts he hadn’t been to Kish in a while but he looked it up and it was hot blah blah.

It had been 11 years. That’s quite a long while. In person he’d have sarcastically said a while.

I haven't been to Loja, Ecuador in about 7 years but I can tell you it's probably in the 70's almost any given day.

You're going to great lengths to prove a really meaningless point.
