@vahnj @Leucrotta yeah... yeeaaaah. I didn't have any other "big city" experience for comparison (Santa Clara County is definitely a "suburban" experience and a whole different kind of hell), but now that I have Seattle to compare it to, the Bay Area seems... constrained, depressing, anxiety-causing.
@green @Leucrotta @vahnj I have been to the Bay Area twice for work. I can’t imagine living there and maintaining any quality of life or mental health. (Not being able to drive and having to deal with Huge Employer Commute Traffic probably affects my opinion.)
