Yeah, even visiting Hawaii I get claustrophobic fast. As soon as I've driven around whatever island (I've only been to Oahu and Maui), and realize I can only drive like 20 miles in one direction, then the land just ends... well, it freaks me out. Especially coming from Texas. Makes me want to hang out by the airport just to remind me that there is a reliable way out!

I got San Francisco:

70% San Francisco
65% Chicago
65% Los Angeles
65% New York City
60% Boston

Heh. I've lived in three of these cities. Like Chicago and Boston, but would never live someplace cold again.
