Seriously, I see posts like this from people in San Francisco all the time. I understand that they like where they live, but why the seething hatred for San Jose? Nobody's making them go there. :)
Does this sort of whining happen in other metro areas too?
Ah, and let's not mention all the money wasted in health care b/c of people in the suburbs, that move only by car, are more likeley to be living a sedentary life style, *being fat, and all the health problems that come with it.
Remember, Europeans live mostly in nice cities, they spend half of the gas, and create about 1/3rd of the trash of americans do, but yet they have pretty good lifestyles (and if measured by longivity, or healthiness, probably better lifestyles).
