Best cities you've been to . . .

we've had our run of worst cities. Now let's hear it for the superlative urban centers!

Wait . . . have I ever been to a "best" city? Are large cities inherently bad? Noisy, crowded, crime ridden . . . What's the criteria here, anyway?

Here's my pick: San Francisco: for its beauty and diversity

I haven't been to a lot of places, but I fell in love with San Diego the second the plane landed.

I'd agree, San Diego is really nice. I like that whole area really, LA south to the border. I'm pretty sure that if I could afford to live there I would, despite all the ants, fires, earthquakes, landslides, illegals etc....

I picked up a real estate magazine while I was there. I found a lovely little starter home: $690,000. Yikes.

But it is beautiful. I can see why people deal with the cost of living, the ants, fires, landslides, illegals, etc!
