Why I moved back to Los Angeles

[Warpy]

1. Ehhhh, to each her own

When I left Boston, I had no desire to go to California, which I thought was too crowded and too expensive.

So I stopped in NM, the altitude here giving us 4 distinct seasons, snow that looks pretty on the mountains but is gone from pavement by noon at the latest, and abundant sunshine. It has been a decent fit.

I've had cousins who tried to leave California and most wen't back within five years, so I suppse there are ample compensations for the crowds and high cost of living. It just wasn't for me.
