Weird, I moved from SF to Philadelphia last week and most stores on route 80 required masks.
City taxes are high, housing prices are steadily increasing, making changes to property is an expensive, bureaucratic nightmare, parking is a nightmare, etc. There aren’t (m)any good places to work that pay well enough to justify the taxes and cost of living. The winter is cold and dreary, the summer is humid.
If not for covid it would make a lot more sense to live in Boston or NYC.
I’m interested in moving to South Carolina or Florida.

Philly, Boston, and NYC are kith and kin (esp. politically), and have much more in common with SF than do SC or non-urban FL. There the tempo of life is slower and more formal, like their danse de rigueur, the gavotte.
