Used to live in Fresno

I lived in Fresno for 43 years, found the love of my life and raised 3 wonderful boys there. and then it hit me. Why am I still here. I have chronic sinus problems, I work in the sweltering summer heat of (measured on a roof top) 123 deg and humidity, had 5 cars stolen in 10 years, 4 occurrences of vehicles broken into, garage broken into 3 times at one address and twice at another, but don't let these minor things concern the fact that most of the people here are just great. My last few years there where filled with very genuine and loving friends. I hated to leave, but an influx of situations that seemed beyond my control, forced my departure. Cost of living in all of California is out of control. Air quality is getting worse every year, and the population is taking it's toll on what used to be a very nice place to live.
