I guess I'm wondering why you chose these two cities in particular? Are you willing to look at other places? |
LA was my option in California based solely on the fact that my friend would be moving there if he got a job that required him to move there. Previously, I had been intending to move south, but a week or so ago, my friend mentioned potentially moving to LA, and thus that was entered into the mix.
California seems like a wonderful placed, if only based on climate/weather alone. My dad has recommened northern California/wine country in every discussion we've had regarding moving, and while I tended to agree, I also kind of wrote the suggestion off on the basis that cost of living would price me out of living there initially. As for the validity of that notion, I have no idea. I assume that beautiful weather and a hugely desirable place is generally going to result in higher priced housing; a place where people go to retire after being financially stable, but not necessarily an ideal place for younger people without lots of funding to start life. I could be way off base on this, as again, I've never been to California, but instead only up and down the east coast.
I have always had a unexplained, but valid, desire to head south to the Carolina region, and my dad has always suggested California. Like you, I would not rank Los Angeles well on my "cities to live list," but the fact that my friend was potentially moving there added it into the mix.

This is re-assuring, as I am able to write and read very well, but am also still undecided about what I want to do with my life, career-wise.
