All I can say was the best decision we ever made was to leave the Bay Area for Texas 18 years ago. I visited my college town, SLO, a year ago and it was Mars compared to when I arrived for college in 1980. I still have primers I bought on the equivalent of Main St back then. Sickening. Been bounced around to 10 places since but have landed back in Texas retired. [bleep] the place.
