Nah, that one counts in the positives column. The diverse makeup of SF tends to keep out the small-minded people, and I like it that way.

I didn't mean to make this thread a fight over San Francisco, and I apologize. Certainly the Bay Area doesn't have the poker action of Los Angeles or Las Vegas, but if nightlife and other fun things to do are major factors in the decision, is should probably be mentioned.

live in San Francisco. play there during the week. get a Southwest Visa. fly to Burbank and Vegas out of Oakland on Southwest every other weekend. Oakland and Burbank are really easy airports to deal with. (McCarron sucks.)

that way you don't have to live in Vegas or L.A.

cause flying to Vegas and LA and staying at hotels is cheap compared to the real estate in San Fran [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

I say if youre an east coast guy, living in Jersey a half hour west down the AC expressway is a decent place and not at all as scary as living in AC itself.

Live in Philly... great town, low cost of living ($1000 a month for a baller 1 bedroom but you can find very decent accommodations for less), close to NYC. Atlantic City is a 45 min drive away or an hour or so by bus or train. For full disclosure, I don't know [censored] about any other area.

I second this solid advice. I do know a little about LA and can't get excited about living there. Philly is an hour away from AC by train. Also NYC is supposed to have a train going to AC by the end of this year (don't know the price of ticket though). Either of those options would get my vote. Vegas seems, from what I gather here, not a great place to live. Just because someone is used to dealing with ppl who have ulterior motives at the poker table doesn't mean they want to deal with it on a daily basis away from the table.

I personally thought it would be cool to live in Buffalo, NY and play at fallview, canada but this is all on hearsay, since I've never been to either.
