I'm no fan of San Diego. However, it's simultaneously topographically interesting and intellectually vapid!

I agree that it's not aesthetically pleasing as it is located on the Prarie, but the city itself is not even slightly boring. Where it falls short is outdoor activities.

How would you rate Boston to other places you have lived or visited?

Not even close. If you don't enjoy the outdoors then I can see how SD can be boring otherwise you got some serious issues if you can't find stuff to do in SD given it's climate and topography.

Define large...then I'll be able to answer your question. For me, major cities that I'd consider boring would be Omaha, Des Moines, Indy, Columbus, Tulsa, Oklahoma City, and Louisville. All cities with not really that much to show, at least from the perspective of someone living in a much larger metro area.

LOL at San Diego...that place is awesome. I can't imagine anyone who would hate living there. And if that's not to your liking, Los Angeles is a very short drive away.

Oh yea, it's so boring here. There's never any festivals in the summer, never any malls to shop at, no lakes to go jet skiing or boating or fish, and god forbid anyone actually wanted to live some place with history and art. Don't even get me started on the lack of national sports teams in this area. We just totally have none of the things people aren't looking for in a metro.
