Perfect timing…places I’ve lived and now, the place I am going to live in! Moving to a smaller place, from a single level detached home to an apartment is my next step. A smaller space means less things, more organization, and less worries. Renting means less expenses, less responsibility for property, and more time to do other things. It’s a balance between competing priorities. It’s an opportunity to revisit what you need versus what you want. Wherever you live you make it your home and say, “welcome”.
With a couple of 6-month exceptions while I was growing up, and a 4-year stint in Northern California after I passed the bar exam, I have lived in San Diego’s north county since I was six years old.
I appreciate this community for its weather, the beachy feel of its neighborhoods (especially Del Mar through Encinitas), and the evident lack of stress exhibited by its members.
I grew up near Washington DC, and what I appreciated most was that my schools took frequent field trips to the Smithsonian. I especially loved the Museum of Natural History and the Air and Space Museum. It made me love science and learning and the discovery of new information. I know a lot of people think it’s a huge waste of money, but I would SO support another national space exploration goal like going to Mars.
I moved to San Diego in 1993, and you just can’t beat the weather. I suppose I should be grateful that Washington DC was so humid… so I know EXACTLY what I missing! I also think being by the water is good for me… I don’t think I’d be a runner if I couldn’t run at the beach. I’m grateful to call San Diego home.
