Places

[benlehman]

It's time once again to play the "where should Ben live" game.

I and the Girl are considering living in three different places, from this winter to next fall (after that we'll, if we're still a "we," be headed to whatever school will have her.) We're looking at living in Boston, SF Bay Area, or London. What's going on is that she's doing grad school preperations and studying for the Foreign Service Exam, and I'm (hopefully) working and continuing to run my publishing company. So job availability, etc, is a good thing. London is advantageous as she has an aunt that lives there, who would put her up, but probably not me.

Anyway, I know that there are people who've lived in all these places, and do presently, so ... convince me where to go! I've lived in the Boston area and Bay Area before, but never been to England. Why does one place rock more than another?

London is expensive on the order of New York City and Tokyo. It is an unspeakably amazing place, but it will do everything in its considerable power to destroy your finances. That said, if you do live there, I would very much like to drop by and visit you.

My vote goes to Boston, but for purely selfish reasons. Although... it's my understanding that proximity to New York can be useful for publishing.
