We have our problems but I live a very well rounded lifestyle. lots of fun places to go, real nice people, and get tons of bang for the buck living accomodation wise..I also know a few friends who think exactly the same way. I guess water seeks its own level, but I just have no interest in putting myself in a crazy, expensive, environment where daily life is a struggle just to survive financially, and inturn frustrate myself because I couldnt afford to do many of the things I can here.. Our state with its tons of lakes, hiking, skiing within reasonalbe drives and the culture of the city here makes me quite content. I also enjoy the four seasons, and even enjoy winter, [[ well Im getting a little tired of it now), they each bring a new pyschological well being as each change occurs.
