I guess if you want perfect weather, it's not good, but I do enjoy having all the different weather patterns and seasons.
Hope you get back to Ca soon if that's what you want! Are you in Al because of a job?

Just so strange to me!
Depends on what you mean. Negative posts such as reflective, well-considered posts? Or simply unfounded trashing? There's a big difference between the two.

Let me put it this way. How would you criticize somebody else's child?

I always put Louisiana as "LO", and call Los Angeles "LA".

What if I call your wife ugly? It's not like you designed her or anything.

Go ahead, I don't have a wife, I'm straight

Still, no comparison dogging on ones spouse or child to a city. Do you honestly have that strong of attachment to a place, rather than people you love? The two are totally different imo.

My family is here. With the cost of housing and the gangs and all the other stuff I've heard I'm not sure I'll ever go back.

Yeah, just go back for vacations and enjoy it. I think you're better off where you are honestly, plus, Al has beautiful beaches!

I am from Houston Texas and I could care less when anyone says negative things about either one. Of course I don't like living here either All places are not for all people, I don't understand why some things are taken so personally.

Well, self confidence does play a part in all of this, and you're very self confident, which is great! But generalizations lead to all sorts of other issues, such as (racism, sexism, and any other ...isms). You can't tell me that these issues don't bother you?!
