[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not identifying which poster I am in case somehow someone I know ends up on this board, but South Jersey. Geographically near Philadelphia but NOT Philadelphia in any way or sense. It’s like a region that is all Haegerstown.  Some people love it and it is totally their place. More power to you, it’s just not MY place.  Philadelphia and the Main Line ... if I had started over there, things would probably be very different.[/quote]

Ha! I'm one of the PPs who left DC and regretted it and I often think that the whole thing might have felt different if we'd been in a nearby (by Midwestern standards) big college town. But we weren't and there's no guarantee it would have been any better in the long run. I have zero regrets about leaving Hockeyland. It was the wrong choice from the go, but we tried to convince ourselves that proximity to family and "quality of life" would make up for all the things we were giving up. It didn't.

None of this is to say that someone else wouldn't have been perfectly happy, but for folks who dislike driving, want racial and economic diversity, and live and breathe politics, it was never the right choice for us.
