I still live in my hometown of San Diego. I wouldn't say it's the problems with the town so much as the town not fitting the type of person I am.
1) San Diego is too laid back for me. I constantly need to be doing SOMETHING for some reason, and I think the city moves too slow for me.
2) Well, this is a bias standpoint, but of course, San Diego is a very superficial town.
3) This is NOT, HAS NEVER BEEN, NEVER WILL BE a sports town. SD is probably the most fair-weather sports city in America. There's just too much to do elsewhere to get religiously involved with sports, and I need to be around an environment where people actually take their sports teams seriously.
The positives (best weather on Earth, hottest women in California, most polluted yet still inhabitable beaches on CA) outweigh the negatives, but spending 21 yrs here, it's time for me to leave after graduation.
I can only hope Boston is the city I imagine it to be.....
