The people I know that have exchanged their equity from the sale of their homes as a family to move inexpesive to a popular southern city somewhere like atlanta, where you could buy several 300,000 dollars spacious houses or condo's from the sale of a home in S.F., Cal.; and the retired ones I know and who have talked with who are native san fran people 20 years residents, are giving atlanta, ga A+ ratings living high dollar on peach tree in atlanta, georguh. the ones under 40 are crying mad, STAMPING their feet, can't get a job, and can't stop complaining with their vocal cords stretched out everytime I call to chat with them from memphis, because they can't walk out of their atlanta city home to go get the paper and all that wonderful food S.F. has within a few steps. I've been told , nothing compares to wonderful New york and san francisco in regards to culture, weather, and food. If i had a family I think I'd move to canada or switzerland. St paul minnesota is suppose to be most wonderful for the family's and it has excellent transportation inregards to public transportation and great culture and such.
