Running a come-and-go commune as a rich benefactor would be awesome in fantasy land -- the reality would likely suck.

We vacationed in SF for 12 days in May and June of last year. It was cold as hell. I was glad to visit but I don't see the charm of living there.

Something about San Francisco doesn't speak to me. I've been there a couple of times, and I'm not really a fan. The streets are confusing, it's too hilly to walk easily, and there's a lot of concrete.
Plus, I was there as the kickoff point for my freighter journey, and I walked through the tenderloin area. Wow. It makes Denver's worst area look like Beverly Hills. I walked toward one intersection and some guy lurching around turned and looked at me. He had taped half of his head all the way around with clear packing tape, including one eye that was taped closed in a weird monsterlike way, and the other eye was looking at me in a manner that I deemed highly threatening. It was creepy as heck.

For a big city, I prefer Chicago over NYC though. I feel squashed by the concrete and buildings in NY and the people are rough. MidWesterners are more polite and Chicago has more space and order. I love the Magnificent Mile. Used to stay in a lovely glass penthouse on the MM and shop a few times a year. Especially love it at Christmas. I love Chicago but Boston is my home, my roots. Despise LA, would never want to live in SF either. |

People in Manhattan last time (in January) were super friendly - more so than this town! I loved the people there. |

When I had a job interview in NYC when I lived in Boston, people were so rushed that I felt if I tripped and fell they'd keep walking on top of me without a care in the world. That actually nearly happened to an old man on New Years Eve in Times Square seeing the ball drop, when we stopped overnight when moving here. I had to scream at people to stop moving when he fell. Was really scarey. NYers scare me. |

I'd rather have a prostate exam than ever deal with Atlanta traffic again.

DC is basically a giant slum. The Federal govt area is the only bright spot. Besides, I bet most of the DC Swampers live in the ritsy suburbs—which are nice.

I'd never live downtown anywhere. That pretty well sums it up.
