Born and raised and genuinely love it here. Lived in the Midwest for a bit and also enjoyed that, but partly because I always planned to return once the job was done. My family immigrated from a country they escaped a genocide from, and this definitely isn’t a “war torn city” lolol. I’ve lived on the south side, east, smith hill, and the east bay. Each area had their own reasons I enjoyed about living in, and of course cons as well just as any neighborhood or city would. But at the end of the day of my 3 decades here, the pros have always outweighed them. I travel for work pretty frequently (mostly east coast like Boston, Philly, Baltimore and NY; and then FL and MIA) and from those experiences as enjoyable as those places are too, I’m thankful I have my return home to look forward to
