I figure I could probably find a good fit over there, but I honestly don’t like the area that much (mostly traffic and costs of things). Other people may not be as bothered by that though, so it could be a good fit.
I’m actually a native so my whole life is here. It’s more to me than a “what’s the cost of living and what’s the crime rate” calculation like so many seem to make when choosing a place to call home.
I’d say the same about my area
Ah but is this somewhere I have even thought about moving? ;D One nice thing about the SF Bay is that it draws interesting people from all over, and friends and family tend to stick around more often than other places I’ve lived. The “great California exodus” is all the rage in people’s minds this year but I have lived in a couple of places that everybody eventually moved away from if they could.
Yup. Still have a BAC limit of 0.05, but hey, we’re at least out of the stone age.
I don’t drink, so it doesn’t bother me, but I have plenty of coworkers who were happy for the change. Next step, allow wine to be sold in grocery stores so you can buy holiday drinks on holidays…
That’s good to know.

There are good and bad employers everywhere.
I used to take the BART train to work In SF so traffic wasn’t a concern. Now I don’t commute at all!
But I’m not trying to convince you to move here. Please don’t!
And I’d say the same about my area. Glad you like it. 😀

Idk, maybe? I’m near SLC, which has gorgeous mountains and excellent skiing, and wonderful national parks a short drive away.
I do enjoy Utah but could never live with the beer there :D
They lifted the stupid alcohol limit for grocery store beer, so that part of the problem is solved.
Oh yay that’s something.
