This thread is off the rails, so fuck it. Upstate NY is where my heart is. I am currently in coastal DE, which is fine. 4 seasons and all.... But I want spring thrue fall in 1000 Islands, and a few months in FL. That's the goal as of now.

Don't blame you. Used to go to southern Onatrio on a yearly fishing trip for over 20 yrs. Just took rt 81 up through Watertown, over the 1000 Islands bridges. Beautiful country.

The literal cost, haha.
Its expensive and crowded....turns out a lot of folks like good weather.
When I moved away from San Diego I didn't even own a jacket, didn't need one.
Yeah I miss the downtown. Easiest big city to get in and out of the downtown for a nice night of dinner and drinks or downright partying. Incredible really, and so many great bars. Also that's probably the city with the biggest concentration of friends, who I miss hanging with as well. I don't miss many places, it's a small list but SD is on it.

Yep, me too.
Making my living back then playing music and stuff, a few cool rock clubs down that way too.
Great beaches and grimy little beach towns.
 
I'm ready for some TC already

When we were in Florida in our house down just south of Tampa, it would be $500/mo to keep it at 72…65??? That woulda been $1000 easy. And we left before the bills went ballistic from the data centers.

Easy to do that here in Minny, tho…
Try to keep it at 72? In Minnesota? What? You have to have the heater on to get it to that temperature.

My heating bill would be ridiculous.

We're just south of Sarasota. Keep it between 72 and 75 during the summer and it runs us between 350 and 375 a month. Winter is a piece of cake.
That's cheaper than my heating bill during the winter months.
 
San Diego (Encinitas) would be my choice if money didn’t matter.
I agree except for a lot of the nutcases that live there. And the homeless problem is really bad in San Diego.

When I went to Comic Con, I stayed at a place somewhat close to the convention center and just walking to places nearby I encountered hundreds of homeless people. And that was just a few blocks.

Great beaches and grimy little beach towns.
Speaking of grimy beach towns, Ocean Beach is a real throwback. It has that feel Huntington and Newport used to have back in the 80s before developers destroyed that old beach culture.

Also it has Hodad's. Best damn burgers around. Highly recommend the blue cheeseburger they do there holy F it is incredible.

Well, we have a newer house (built in ‘22) with upgraded insulation and furnace and AC. We keep it at 68 in the winter and 72 in the summer. Our bills in the summer are negligible and winter is like $350, but I’m in a multigenerational household so it’s a really big house.

We spent over $500 a month for a house 2/3rds the size in Florida keeping it at 72 and would be lucky to pay less than $300 during any month unless we had a rare cool snap…
 
IT'S TOO FUCKING HOT IN THE LOU.

That is all. (We are talking about the weather of places we live in, right?)

I used to live in OB.
Ran a music studio/recording/rehearsal place by the Sports Arena and played many a gig at Winstons and other places.
Nico's for tacos or burritos and Hodad's were both favorites for sure.
Both are still there amazingly enough.
The Black just closed a couple of months ago.
My favorite bar.....because they would serve me despite not being 21, it was a different time....was Pacific Shores. A funky little dive bar full of part time losers and full time drunks....or vice versa. Generally friendly.
It has been "hipster" out quite a bit the last 10 years or so....now, Pac Shores has new, unstained carpet and $18 cocktails....so it goes I guess.
I then moved up to Sunset Cliffs in a nice house with an ocean view.....nothing like peaking at 20 years old, haha
