Got the same review about Sacramento from my wife. She was there for the first time a few weeks ago and came back saying it’s just a sad, nothing city. But, on the upside, she did mention it had more than the usual number of street beggars, so that’s a real draw.

Sad and nothing as compared to what? The climate's pretty good and it's famed for its trees-urban forest. It's very close to SF, the wine country and one of my favorite areas - the Gold Rush Country. I bet it has more cultural amenities, fine restaurants etc. than where you live.

why I wouldn't live in northern CA or why I wouldn't live too many places other than East Lansing?

Other than East Lansing. Other than grand river filled with mostly chain restaraunts, MSU’s campus, some wooded areas... it seems pretty average. No offense, to EL people because there are worst places to live in MI, obviously.

yeah that's not my scene, either.

His is more renovations. I prefer ground up but like learning old building materials/techniques and how to adapt them to new materials.

Would be a major life change. Lived in Michigan all my life.

I like it here. I have a nice house in a nice neighborhood. The kid is graduating this year, but going to MSU - so it'll be nice to see her every now and then. I have a good job, my wife has a good job. I love the Michigan weather - I love my local hangouts. Love being able to walk most everywhere I go.

Nice to live in a place with a small town feel while still living basically across from a Big Ten university... live pretty close to a couple of cool cities, some nice airports. Easy access to traveling out when I need/want to.

It would be cool to work with a friend but where you live and what housing you can arrange would be the deal breaker.
