Exactly. And also notice that 3 of his bullet points revolved around booze.

People seem to get hung up on the price of real estate, but buying California real estate made me more money than working at a major airline for my first several years. Treat it like an investment. There is a reason real estate is more expensive in California (because there is more demand for people wanting to live there).

Full disclosure, I do not live in SFO.
No man worth his salt (pun intended) doesn’t keep his beer stock at levels to weather a Sunday sales sabbatical..

Also, why does your life seemingly revolve around alcohol?

Besides, SLC has some rather unique beers…

yet you sit In other airlines forums on your weekends like a grown adult with no life or friends. Move along. No one cares

also FYI: for the first time last year there was a decreasing population in California for the first time in half a century. Saying that in the same sentence as dissing Utah is comical. Shows a lot of ignorance on your part about real estate on the west coast, LOL. As a native Californian, please stay out there. I beg you to stay.

Been in SLC for 5 years, grew up in the Bay Area, beer here and lifestyle is 1 million x more delightful and enjoyable. To each their own. If you haven’t had good Utah beer, that’s on you. Wasatch is top notch

Except the IKON and Epic passes are ruining skiing here, unfortunately. More so Epic and Vail greed. But IKON certainly has hurt especially the parking situations. A lot has changed in 5 years.

Hard to decide if the awful crowds on Saturdays make Sundays worthwhile, though. I guess it all depends on just when it dumps…

Yes. Everyone please choose to live California. Happy cows AND happy people. Utah is no good. Terrible to raise a family. You can't smoke pot. Yes you can buy beer any day at a store or bar, but you have to go to a state liquor store to buy the stronger drinks, and they're closed Sundays! We don't have warm water beaches like San Francisco, and you should see the homeless in west SLC. Don't get me started on the crime in West Valley. Did you know snows too? Barf.
If you're already in CA, stay put, grass isn't greener (brown in winter). I also spoke with all the other Mountain West states, and they all agree that they suck and wish they were as nice as California.
