It's pretty here. Zero crime. Nice beaches (albeit the water is cold and might get tar on your feet). Great hiking if you're into that.

I cannot speak to the familial attributes, as that is off my radar, but I'm told it's expensive as all hell.

The people lean quite liberal (which doesn't bother me as I go further left than most here do), but if you get just outside the city limits, it goes back to the right rather sharply. Case in point, I ate at a restaurant tonight that a sign saying "We stand for the flag".

My two biggest problems with it in the 3 or so years I've been here are that 1. Nobody gives a shite about college sports. I mean NOBODY. I have to beg to get CFB on the tv at bars, especially early season when baseball is on.

Second, the food scene here is terrible. No matter what you like, it's awful. It caters to tourists and old people.

San Diego

Moved from Nola where I lived my entire life to San Diego last year. As much as I miss the food I would never move back

Highland Park, River Oaks, and Alamo Heights are the best places to live in Texas, and maybe in that order

San Diego seems like a pretty cool place, especially La Jolla

You been to San Francisco lately? Last 10 years the place has turned into a shite hole.


Been twice the last 3 years. It's all good. I have several friends out there that love it and don't understand why I don't move out there. I know the SF is a shite hole narrative is the soup dejour on TD. But I have 3 couples and 2 single friends out there who all tell me they feel fortunate to li e there.... And all of them rent except 1. Although he does live in San Anselmo.

I would take West U, Preston Hollow, West Lake Hills, Rollingwood, and probably the Heights over Alamo Heights.

There’s no one right answer.

Single, give me any of the major metro areas.
Wealthy, New York or Los Angeles.
Married with kids- would prefer a suburb, not in the middle of a city. Parts of Long Island are beautiful.
Old and Retired- cabin by a lake in Montana or something.

Piney Point Village, an incorporated city surrounded by West Houston, has the highest per capita income in Texas.

Preston Hollow is not a city, it's a Dallas neighborhood. I think it was its own city until the 1940s.

River Oaks is a Houston neighborhood.

They are fortunate, financially, if they live in San Fran. You pretty much have to be a millionaire to rent a two bedroom apartment there.

Scottsdale, Arizona


It is up there and contrary to popular belief it is dirt cheap, especially compared to other cities listed on here, but there is no way it’s #1 in the country

You should have been there circa 2008. Imagine the same city with about two thirds less vagrants.
