Looking at Jette's post, I'm starting to suspect that findyourspot only has about 40 locations from which to choose. Or maybe there are only 40 semi-decent places to live in this country? Hard to say.
I am considering transfering to an out-of-state college. I'm already freaked out about giving up my apartment (only $1000/mo! how will I ever find another?!? yikes). Posts like these (esp. the comments in jette's) put the fear of a vengeful god into me:
"You will hate everywhere else, now that you've lived in SF. It's all downhill from here. YOu will never be able to come back. Oh, and even if you stay, you are doomed beyond the age of 40. Good luck!"
I really go through cycles with this city. I hate it, can't wait to get the FUCK out. THen some invisible thing will shift, and I love it and NEVER want to leave. Sometimes I know what causes the change; my inital shift from hate-leaning ambivalence to outright love happened when I started training for a bicycle race, and rode through the Presidio and GGP almost every day.
Unfortunately, I'm a lazy git, and all I see now are crackheads and concrete and hipsters and yuppies and parking tickets and knocked-over motorcycles and road-rage. Right. WHy am I here again?
I loved Seattle a great deal. I miss it bad, sometimes. If I had to move and had my choice, I'd probably end up back there, or maybe Portland. I always saw Portland as Seattle's punky little brother.
