Hey, I live just a little ways from Mojave and the post-SpaceShipOne Mojave Spaceport!
I love the desert area of CA, I have lived in S. F. as well, and spent years in the bay area in general. I am from Oklahoma originally, and so have an almost ingrained fondness for small towns and rural areas. I go home to OK frequently, but I plan to move back to NM within a year or two. I used to love CA, and had at one time thought to live here for the rest of my life, but now...it just isn't going to happen.

Hey Emul8r, I used to live off of Inyo St. & M St. in Mojave. A short walk to the Mojave Airport. I used to work at a glider repair facility-Fred Jiran Sailplane Repair. We did some work for Burt Rutan. This was in 1973. I missed the place. It was a big change from the city to Mojave and back 
. I understand your destain for California 
. I'm getting to the point where it's just a place to live, but not live, if you know what I mean 
. I'll probably stay here, but not certain. If you only knew the politics here in S.F. Our board of 
supervisors rival that of Berkeley's. A laughing joke 
. Yea, maybe I will move after all 
. LOL. 
Out of curiosity, what district in S.F. did you live in?

City?
None for me thanks.
The only reason I am in a city now is for school, and it is a pain. I hate having to park a block away from my house some nights and not even having room to do and oil change. I have to do it right there on the street.

I wouldn't say city, but I'd like to be close to one. Now I'm 40 miles from STL. I can be there in 40 minutes, but I out here quiet in the country about 8 miles out of my hometown of about 10,000.
If I were to move, I would probably would like to stay about the same vicinity to a STL sized city, and it would problably be somewhere in the south east, possibly the Atlanta area or maybe even farther east.

I like where I live but if I had to move somewhere else I think it would probably be to Vancouver Island, maybe the Parksville area.

Hey Emul8r, you were close to Mission High School.
<!I have a some friends that are strait that live in the castro The city does have an unfair stigma of being a gay city,just like Sydney, Australia. I my self being strait, gays don't bother me. To each his own!>
I live in the Middle Richmond District, across the street from the Sea Cliff. Just about 4-5 blocks from Robin Williams' house . As you know, property values here are ridiculous 
. Way over priced.
I don't suppose you heard of Anton Levay, the devil worshipper with the black house? He had that pet lion, Togar. Small world, huh?

US News & World Report and Money magazine both post the 10 or so best cities in the US to live in. They state the criteria used in their selection. If I remember right, these lists appear in the magazines in the earlier part of the year; keep your eyes open for them.

Bottom line is, and this will sound corny, but home is where the heart is . Man, that WAS tough to say 
. Just as long as there is warm weather, cold beer, hot chicks, vehicles to drive, great sounding loud stereos and big tv's, I'll be there .
