Oh, since when did giving personal feedback suddenly require a full investigation? Are you CIA?

DD goes to UCLA but visits cousin in Bay Area and loves it.

Who’s pulling out credit cards anymore? Californians use Apple Pay.

Even those seniors?

Yes. Lots of seniors use it.

And even pulling out a credit card is so much faster than pulling out a checkbook and then writing a check (sometimes also adding it to the ledger). I rarely see that anymore, thank goodness.

It's fine but inconvenient to get back East, of course.

DD wants a specific grad school and career that's more east coast centric so I doubt CA will be a long term thing, but who knows.

The cost of living is unappealing.
