I've lived in San Diego years ago.... It was and is a beautiful place... If you are wealthy enough to be able to afford the taxes and property taxes.... As for me, I will stay now in my beloved desert...

I guess everyone can have his/her preferences and wonder why other people would live where they live. I don't like cold weather very much and kind of wonder why people like living where it gets down to 0 degrees, and I don't like earthquakes and kind of wonder why some people want to live on a big earthquake fault -- eventually it's going to happen. I also can't see why some people want to live in what feels like a swamp.
The desert regions of the USA are filled with plantlife and animal life -- probably no fewer than plains regions and forests -- it's just a different kind. Xeriscape plants are absolutely beautiful.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I had a boss that loved to vacation in Joshua Tree, I thought that was strange. I am a tree person, the more the better. I'd much rather be in Oregon than a place like Sedona, I guess it's a personal preference.
LA is built on the desert!

go ahead and divorce her... You'll enjoy living in that environmentally sympatico Maytag box...
....and his wife would be happy for the first time in her life. She would be able to vote Republican without lying to him about it..
