Coronado is definitely very expensive but I personally would never pay to live there with so many gawking tourists walking around; Kind of funny how it's such a huge tourist magnet. That's not the case for wealthy neighborhoods with beautiful homes in the Philly area, but there is just so much more history and notable sites for tourists to see here.
Most of the wealthy areas in SD are by the beach so that's why they attract tourists. The wealthier parts that are inland don't of course.
most of the last many pages are weird and confusing...
and this claustrophobic thing is confusing me as well
Yeah, people may as well argue over what is better: water or fire. These cities are strikingly different to me. If you want a big, urban city where you can live easily without a car in a four season climate amidst older/thinner streets surrounded by history, then Philly is a great option. If you want a big, beautiful semi-urban city with many amenities and a laid back lifestyle (not completely, but moreso) and direct access to the Pacific ocean in a moderate climate, San Diego is a great option. Definitely of an oversimplification (both have history, both can support car-less lifestyles, etc.), but it makes the point.
So weird how nature makes you feel claustrophobic but not being in the middle of 60 million people doesn't.
Ive never considered the desert nature. There are few exceptions but mainly the desert is more of a inhospitable wasteland in my eyes.
Keep in mind 60 M people are spread out over tens of thousands of sq miles. Lush, green miles with bays,rivers,lakes streams,dense forests.
By the way whats the E-W distance for SD between the Pacific Ocean and the hostile desert? 30 Miles perhaps? Yeah thats not constrictive at all to someone from the east coast. Ive got 400 miles of a Napa Valley Like setting surrounding me

No!
Well it is and it's completely wide open unlike the more "claustrophobic" forests of the eastern US. Seems the varied geography out west scares you, it's ok, it's dramatic but it won't bite you.
Yeah I get that but it's still a lot more densely populated overall and you're never that far from some sort of development/town.
More like 60-90 miles driving distance. Hostile desert? Are coming across it in a covered wagon or something? lol.

obviously anything that does not Rain often on Rocks would be hostile
. Are you saying would be ok for me to wander around South Philly or the area around Temple on my own?
Clearly you are ignorant. Yes, many parts of South Philly are perfectly safe to go walking around at all hours of the day and night. Queen Village, Passyunk Square, Easy Passyunk, and Graduate Hospital are all very safe and very lively neighborhoods of South Philly. I should know because I live there.
Also, the area around Temple has gentrified quite a lot in recent years. Its clearly safe for thousands of Temple students to walk around in at night.

Obviously he's confused and using claustrophobic when he means isolated.
