Not boating but a great show.

Would you have karate chops the offending person? And why are you jealous of me? Just because I live in a nicer area, more access to top flight Broadway shows, salt water? |

I don't care for salt water. and I guess you've not heard, but Atlanta is the cultural center of the south. More broadway plays play here than in the bay area. I've lived there, Bill. It's a hole. Might as well give Oakland to the thug criminals. You have to drive for hours to get out of the rat race. People driving nice cars living in shacks because their seen more in their cars. Kids can't play outside of their back yards for fear of some whacko stealing them, homeless people sometimes seem to outnumber those who have homes, etc. Postage stamp size back yards, neighbor next to neighbor with the minimum setback distance, no trees. |

Your opinion. Lots like to live here. There are bad areas of Oakland, and really nice areas of Oakand. Atlanta all nice areas? |

I must have that poster in the kill-bin. Bill, you and I both know, that the
ONLY people that dis the Bay Area, or CA in general, are the folks that either can't afford to come here, or couldn't cut it when they did. g Yup, my house with postage stamp back yard is worth almost One Million Dollars (most being equity at this point), I wonder what a house with 10 times my lot size is worth in hotlanta? Shhhh... let everyone think the Bay Area sucks... we really don't want anymore immigrants do we? :- --Mike "Calif Bill" wrote in message hlink.net... "basskisser" wrote in message oups.com...

My in-laws house is also worth close to a million. They are considering selling and moving here. Partly because they've visited enough to know the love it here, and partly to get out of that crime riddled sewer. Our kids actually get to play outside. My kids walk through the woods, by themselves to a friends house. Almost unheard of in the east bay. |

Wow at 10 times the cost of living, can you imagine what the telephone and electricity will cost you in CA. Heck at 10 times increase in the cost of living a high speed connection to the Internet will cost you $500 month. |

That reminds me of a Seinfeld episode where Kramer and his buddy Newman borrowed a Post Office truck to haul aluminum cans from NY to Michigan for the higher deposit value of the cans. |

My kids walk through the woods, by themselves to a friends house. Almost unheard of in the east bay. Maybe where your in-laws live, but most of Pleasant Hill is nice. sure there are bad places, just as there are real bad places in Atlanta. People come and also leave. Some can not handle the life style, others can not afford life here. Costs more as more people want to live here than in Georgia. Nicer weather, nicer terrain. Cost of living is not 10x. Houses may be 5x, but lots of other costs are the same or lower. Live where you want. But do not knock others areas because you are ignorant or jealous. |
