I've discovered I'm definitely a grass-is-greener type of guy.
So this week I'm back in NYC, the city I left to go back to California. It will mark the longest time I've been here since I moved out. I have to say that I'm pretty glad to be back.
I still have a lot of friends here that I really like being around but that isn't really it since I haven't seen any of them yet (altough I do have plans to see them all). I guess, like I have always said, New York is a great city to visit but a lousy place to live. I really do like most of the things the city has to offer but I hate the cost of living. I hate that to live by youself and get a tiny studio apartment cost you in the neighborhood of $2,000.
But for now I'm really happy to be back. I really like it here but then again I really wanted to be in California when I was here. Maybe I'm just like John Kerry and I'll have to flip-flop back and forth. (Yes I'm voting for him so don't get on me). Maybe Its just that every 4 or 5 years I need to trade coast until I miss the other one too much.

Yes! Vote Kerry. I love NYC. I agree w/ you and wouldn't want to live there day to day but what a great city to visit. I guess I love big cities. When I can travel I will go to SF, NYC, Chicago, NO, and SD. I'll stay in LV for the tax breaks and spend my time heading out to other places.
you can be seasonal! stay in california during the fall/winter and california during the spring/summer.
OR, you get a job where you make so much money that you have an apartment in BOTH cities. Clearly, this is the best answer to your woes. :)
