I've decided that within the next 10 years that I want to relocate out of NY because it's cold and expensive.
I'm planning on visiting San Diego and possibly LA some time in May and would like to visit different areas up and down the coast over the next few years to see where I could ultimately move to after I've gained enough experience to be able to more easily get a job in a new market.
Since I know there are people on the site who are from this part of the country, I was hoping some of you could provide insight.
The only things I am not about are too cold, too rural or "cookie cutter" type communities where the most ethnic thing to eat is Taco Bell or Panda Express. (I've heard parts of LA can be like this)
Things I like: Food, warm, reasonably affordable MBA, good job markets, affordable apartment/housing, public transit
if you like warmth don't go to san francisco go inland but not like valley area cus thts hot but like the bay/coast where sf is reaches like low 30s/40s i think and never gets much hotter than 80
but inland has rlly nice weather its like low 40s in winter and 80s/90s in summer
shut up jill the food is gr8 and if you live in the metro area there are no hicks but i can't say that when i go hiking i don't get stared at like half the time though
