Huh? Demand is high in blue cities because people prefer to live there?

Who knew?

Some folks like big cities. Not my cup of tea either, but we're all different.

It is perhaps noteworthy, however, who, for the most part, is running the least affordable places to live.

If affordability is a big issue, that is.

These are the cities and vacation spots that make America great.
San Jose, the home of the Silicon Valley, where the future is created,
LA, the entertainment and media capital of the world,
NYC, the financial heart of our nation,
Boston, Mass., the hub of scientific research.

The places people want to be, the places that are going to make a difference in this world and its future.

Destination wise, it has gotten worse. Some say it was better when the mob ran it.

However, we do make occasional flights over the weekend for the dining and shopping options. Mot32 is currently a favorite restaurant. Also E by Jose Andres when we can get a reservation.

Other than that, what kind of weirdo wants to live in the desert in the first place?
 
“I wouldn’t live there” yet spends their time online being angry at those places, instead of enjoying life wherever they are.

Those are opinions. We all have them.

In my opinion, some of those places, at least, could be managed better.

That's just an opinion, however.

I have been there...My wife has a relative who lives there.

While gambling holds no attraction for me, we did see a couple of shows. That was fun. That said, the heat was uncomfortable for me, and things were pretty pricey. I prefer a more laid-back vibe.

Like you, I much prefer a calming, laid back destination. We recently traveled to the Mountains of Virginia. We hit up some historical sites, as well as several wonderful vineyards (beautiful views). We also went and saw a play. Relaxing getaways are much preferable to me.

No, those are facts.


The Silcon Valley is the world's tech capital.
NYC is the leading financial center of this country
LA is the media capital of the world
Boston, Mass., is the hub of scientific research in this country.

Your opinion about them is just an opinion, however.
