@Phil @adamgurri if you want your own wood shop and classic car and three car garage you may be better off here. toys are not my thing, and i’m glad to work in shared spaces for any creative hobbies (in practice my creative hobbies are mostly virtual). but spaces are mostly better there, higher quality both physically and socially, even if you get fewer sq ft. i like to be able to walk to people and places. 1/

@Phil @adamgurri some stuff costs more there, but the stuff that really kills me, especially heath care, costs much much less. public school quality is high. (my kid’s public elementary schools were great, both in CA and FL, but that gets harder to ensure at higher grade levels here.) i do have a garage full of crap sentimental attachments render it difficult to be rid of. mostly i think i’d be better off if i’d never accumulated it. /fin
