Please compare and contrast both and tell me which you feel would be better to live in.

Grosse Pointe Shores.

Please compare and contrast which country is more fun to visit Spain or New Zealand?

They're both Middle Upper/Upper class cities.... Not that much of a stretch.

Based on what criteria? Money, leisure, religion, people, employment, commute, or what??

Personally I prefer the Shores, simply because they are closer. Cali is a LONG way to commute.

All of those. We will assume you can live in one or the other.

I think I would feel better just to afford living in either.

I thought Menlo Park was in New Jersey.

If money is not a factor, Menlo Park 100%. Can't buy the nice weather and also you are close to SF vs being on the boarder with Detroit. Much more offers in terms of hiking and scenic trails as well.

The problem is $$$. In Grosse Pointe a house would be half as much as Menlo Park. However, you tend to get what you pay for....

The real shame was that the prices in Metro Detroit and Bay Area were pretty similar in the late 80s. Shame that my parents decided to move to Detroit vs SF. Dad had a job offer in SF and Detroit. The SF job paid slightly less.

They paid 120k for a house in a nice suburb of Detroit in 1987 that is now worth roughly 175k. Had they bought a house in SF area for that amount their house would be worth more than 500k.
