She enjoys the weather

The overall atmosphere in California teaches you to accept this sort of behavior

She has far less living history of not accepting public homelessness, drug use, urination, and prostitution than I do.

She is probably like many of the residents of California.
I am an ex New Yorker. People are happy and miserable everywhere. Truth, my reality had you asked me just a few years ago I would have honestly told you I would never move to Florida and never to a planed community. Here we are happy in the villages, a created disney land for old people. Hum who is that old guy looking back at me in my mirror.

That concept of a better section a common thought. HUH do criminals not walk, run, ride bikes, drive. yet, another irrational thought.
