My mother was looking at real estate prices last night. She said she wants to move to Florida in a few years. I said no :) She was going on about how you can get a nicer house for less money and lower taxes. I told her she'd be leaving all 3 of us behind :)

I don't care how nice the houses are; they're still in Florida and as far as I'm concerned that's a No. I'm a chauvinist. New York or bust, baby. I can cope with Boston or Chicago. That's it. I despise people who move to the Sunbelt, to cities that were built after WWII, full of enormous freeways and no public transportation. Malls and palm trees are no substitute. I need the diversity, the loudness, the bad accent, the rudeness. The bitter wind in January and the steaming heat in July. I need rye bread, bagels, and Fox's U-Bet. This is home.
