[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm just sick of these threads. I don't care why you came here (I came here from the midwest too). If you don't like it, leave. The fact that you don't means this area has something to offer, even if it's only money.

Look, it's fast-paced, expensive, and traffic stinks. But, you can make other trade-offs while living here (I did and now telework 2 days/week and have a flexible job). I also don't get the people who think you are just a name in the crowd here. We have a very nice suburban village out here that is a nice stand in for family. Yeah, it's not the cool urban lifestyle some want (and I used to want in my 20s) but that's my choice and it's a good fit. You can have just about anything here, and there are a lot of benefits. To me they outweigh the negatives. If you don't, fine. But, don't get all pissy when those of us who like it come on here to defend it. And bide your time until you can fly back from the dusty little town you grew up in.  Your choice, which is fine by me.[/quote]

PREACH.  The miserables who come here to moan about how much they hate it here are the most tiresome lot around.  Their lofty ideas of what a city "should" be just make me laugh.  Those of you who want the cool, urban, artsy lifestyle that you insist can't be found here... please move along.  You'll be happier and so will we.  [/quote]
