[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My relative couldn’t wait to get out of Seattle, and is happy to be in SoCal, but that’s the only anecdote I have to give for PNW. It doesn’t appeal to me either—I prefer SoCal or Vegas, but to each their own.[/quote]

I'm the one that posted about PNW. That's helpful to know. I've only been to Seattle and Portland (and a few towns in between) on personal and business trips so I don't really know. I love the nature in the area but I've never spent any real time there.

When people recommend Vegas, is that just for part of the year? Doesn't it become unbearable in the summers?[/quote]
That’s just my relative’s experience—so just one family’s—so take it what you will. They were at one of the top tech companies there and highly educated and liberal but didn’t like it from the outset.

People in Vegas tend to stay inside for the whole summer the way we tend to stay inside the whole winter. Most seem to roll with it and don’t mind it. Some people have second homes there but retirees seem to live there year round. My parents like it there because people are very friendly, lots to do, it’s very diverse, and has a large Asian population. It is a relief that you can find Chinese-speaking in-home caregivers there because it seems almost impossible in some places. If you want to keep to yourself you can easily do that there, or anywhere, really. [/quote]
