Am I crazy for wanting the city life?

[LRAO]

Hello again,

I am pondering a short-term (3 years) plan to get me into the city that I truly desire to live in, San Francisco.

I currently live in a suburb of LA and think that downtown LA, LA proper, and LA county in general lacks something that I can't put my finger on.

Everytime I go to the Bay Area, I feel like this is where I am supposed to be. I don't know if it's the people, weather, culture (probably a combination of all the above).

Ultimately I will retire and go live somewhere relaxing, peaceful, and reasonable in terms of cost of living.

I know that moving to the Bay Area puts me back a few years, but that is something I am willing to sacrifice.

Any thoughts?

Thanks.
