But yeah, a bit of a commute (though my brother in law in CT spend more than the 1.5 hour flight from here to LA some days to get much less far on I-95 )

My observations are merely from a tourist POV. I like SD better than LA or Pasadena, that's for sure. I just like SF more. To live it would be hard, though. I doubt I could find a place I'd consider "acceptable" in SF for under several million bucks, and since we don;t have several million bucks for a house...

If money were no object, I'd like SF best, put it that way. In the real world, I'm all for the flyover states, as long as they have mountains.
What I liked best about the mountains in Southern California was the fact that it's doesn't get mind-numbingly cold, you still get snow, you're not that far from being someplace warmer - summers seemed comfortable without being East Coast 900,000% humidity, and winters seemed fairly negotiable, whereas out here, six inches of snow and you'd think it was The Day After Tomorrow or something.
