My oldest son and his wife have done that, turning their summer home out east into their year round residence, and working from home. I gave up trying to convince my wife that my favorite little Connecticut town, Milford, would be a great place to retire. She's a Southern belle, and cannot tolerate the winter cold there or the water temperature of the Sound for swimming in the summer...too cold for her. Neither of us want to return to Florida. Number One on our "hit list" are a couple of areas just west of Savannah. Hilton Head is still nice, but it is pretty congested these days and we noticed that for months at a time, from spring through September at least, the auto traffic is very heavy all around the island and just off of it. If you go off-island, the traffic wait to get back on it is lengthy and annoying. Also, a lot of the island is looking worn-out. Plus, Georgia seems a bit more socially progressive than South Carolina, as evidenced that in the recent elections there, a black minister and a Jew were elected to the U.S. Senate, both Democrats. Atlanta might be for you. It is pretty much like DC and I lived in both places. Those is the people who are driving Georgia politics now. That's funny. I've no interest in living in any big metro center, with the possible exception of San Francisco. I've been to Atlanta maybe a half dozen times on business and do not find it appealing. It is nothing like D.C., which is a pretty small city. If we were to live again in Florida, we think St. Augustine is livable. We like visiting Ft. Lauderdale and Miami in the winter, though. Your fixation on homosexuality will stand you in good stead in SF. Terrible place anymore. Has been ruined in the last 20-30 years. Homeless everywhere, even city hall grounds. I grew up across the bay from San Francisco, liked it. Went to City College of SF, and graduated from SF State. Worked there for 10 years. The political leaders have trashed the place. Over taxed, under served. I spent a week in San Francisco in 74 and it sucked then. |

Well, it is a city run by the Newsoms, Browns, Pelosis, and Getty’s. All very closely related. Nancy is an aunt by marriage to Gavin. Newsom’s dad was a judge ruling in favor of Gordon Getty heirs trust, and then the Getty corporate attorney. Gavin is in partnership with Gordon Getty in Plump Jack winery and restaurants. |

Were the rioters incited by thePOTUS in an attempt to overturn his election defeat?None of that excuses mob violence of course, no matter where and whyit happens. I'm also thinking that Portland needs to make a concertedeffort to identify and arrest some of these hooligans. I suspectthey've got a hard core group of repeat offenders that should be dealtwith. Do we have any numbers yet on the dwindling population of NYC, NY State, California, and Washington State. Just curious. My unscientific poll says a significant number of NYers and Fornians are moving to Florida. === Florida has been a popular retirement destination for New Yorkers for more than 70 years. Over here on the left coast most of our newcomers are from the mid-west. I call it the I-75 pipeline effect. There has definitely been a move out of New York City. Between Covid, high tax rates and crime, there have been a lot of reasons to leave. My oldest son and his wife have done that, turning their summer home out east into their year round residence, and working from home. I gave up trying to convince my wife that my favorite little Connecticut town, Milford, would be a great place to retire. She's a Southern belle, and cannot tolerate the winter cold there or the water temperature of the Sound for swimming in the summer...too cold for her. Neither of us want to return to Florida. Number One on our "hit list" are a couple of areas just west of Savannah. Hilton Head is still nice, but it is pretty congested these days and we noticed that for months at a time, from spring through September at least, the auto traffic is very heavy all around the island and just off of it. If you go off-island, the traffic wait to get back on it is lengthy and annoying. Also, a lot of the island is looking worn-out. Plus, Georgia seems a bit more socially progressive than South Carolina, as evidenced that in the recent elections there, a black minister and a Jew were elected to the U.S. Senate, both Democrats. Atlanta might be for you. It is pretty much like DC and I lived in both places. Those is the people who are driving Georgia politics now. That's funny. I've no interest in living in any big metro center, with the possible exception of San Francisco. I've been to Atlanta maybe a half dozen times on business and do not find it appealing. It is nothing like D.C., which is a pretty small city. If we were to live again in Florida, we think St. Augustine is livable. We like visiting Ft. Lauderdale and Miami in the winter, though. Your fixation on homosexuality will stand you in good stead in SF. Terrible place anymore. Has been ruined in the last 20-30 years. Homeless everywhere, even city hall grounds. I grew up across the bay from San Francisco, liked it. Went to City College of SF, and graduated from SF State. Worked there for 10 years. The political leaders have trashed the place. Over taxed, under served. I spent a week in San Francisco in 74 and it sucked then. We visited San Francisco several years ago. I enjoyed the view of the Golden Gate Bridge from the view point across the bay. The rest of it pretty much sucked. And I hear it's gone way downhill since then. Of course, being a liberal who welcomes illegal immigrants, Harry probably finds scenes like this very comforting. https://www.google.com/search?q=san+...wT5Ykj4trHAK8M or:shorturl.at/gnyAM IBM put is up at the Hyatt (I think) It was that class a hotel anyway and we had most of it. My favorite spot in the whole city was sitting on the roof of the cat walk between the 15 floors of the 2 towers. 150 feet above the city is how you should see it., The bay bridge was out there along with city lights like you would expect. That was great until someone saw me and thought I was jumping or something. I was sitting there with my feet dangling over the edge enjoying my cocktail. I managed to get inside before the fire department arrived. ;-) They told me I couldn't do that anymore and they nailed the windows shut. The best was the Jack Tar hotel. They had a rotating cylinder sign on the roof. Sit on the edge and get a 360 degrees view. I think it is now the Cathedral Hill Hotel. You probably know the hotel I am talking about. It is in the tenderloin, 2 tall towers with a catwalk between them on the 16th floor. I am thinking Hyatt. Might be the Hyatt Regency. But that is more financial district and not Tenderloin. I worked nights in the Tenderloin for years. We had the computer systems in Macy’s and Capwells. The night entrance for Capwells was an alley where those living in the street lived. |
