Hmm not my experience at all. It’s become a “destination/lifestyle“ sort of place for people to move to so it’s full of people who moved here for a reason and are really pleased about it. Food and cultural events are pretty thriving year-round and of course winter time is beautiful and magical when it snows. Do March and April suck? Yes, they do. But a small price to pay for generally awesome quality of life year round. |
| so many listed places are so … white. |
...so don't move there....? |
Which town on the coast? I’m reluctantly moving to Eugene (family circumstances) and one of the solaces is that we won’t be too far from the coast, relatively. OP, what about Charlotte, NC or Santa Fe? Can you tell us more about your hobbies, type of weather you like, and so on? |
Lamorinda? Where is that? |
| We own an island home in the Puget Sound and routinely book guests for month-long stays who bounce around the country from one AirBNB to the next. Sounds lovely and a great way to try out a forever location. |
| I would live in Carribean Winters and either Hawaii or Seattle the other half. |

Tiburon, CA--right on the water, close to the city, hiking, a hour from Napa, 4ish hours from Tahoe.
Actually, anywhere in Marin Country would work--also love Mill Valley, Kentfield/Greenbrae/Ross. Sausalito is a little too touristy, but it would do. |
Good one |

| If money was no object, San Francisco first choice, then San Diego. Both of them are beautiful cities. |
The % of nut jobs goes down as you head north. |
New Mexican here. How are we odd? And how is our state weird? And you can lose the accented e and u. |
| West Hollywood or Westwood, CA |
Denver's gone wrong, just FYI. Maybe the new mayor can fix it but I doubt it. |
