according to what I read here, one must accept the fact that they will be living in a rat hole unless they want to pay extremely high prices, the commute will be hell, the people are pretentious, and you must live without house pets. I wonder why any citizen would want to live in such a place. The primary benefits would be relatively easy access to the beaches and ski slopes, which I would love, but seriously, most of the waking hours would be an awful quality of life. Why would anyone want that?

You're getting too worked up. It ain't that bad, if you dig a little for a deal.

I wonder why any citizen would want to live in such a place. The primary benefits would be relatively easy access to the beaches and ski slopes, world class natural beauty on all 4 sides, the freshest food and best wines produced within an hour's drive, the most moderate climate in the Americas and a wonderfully positive and dynamic arts scene, which I would love, but seriously, most of the waking hours would be a pretty damn good quality of life if you can afford it. Why would anyone want that?

sweet. Thanks for reminding me to adjust the attitude. I'm afraid all the negativity got the best of me. Your version is much nicer
