Now...having been in the military...I got to move every 1.5 to 3 years. I can think of much worse places to live.
How I'd rank the Places I've lived.
1. Buffalo area (Friends and Family plus low cost of living and the best food around).
2. San Diego (Awesome weather, Awesome fun but Ridiculous cost of living unless you are a Padre or Charger)
3. Pearl Harbor (It's Hawaii but see San Diego)
4. San Juan, PR (High crime, learn Spanish and High crime but oh those girls )
5. Adak, Alaska (1200 miles west of Anchorage on a tiny island...Nuff Said)
6. Pensacola, Fl (Redneck and frieking HOT and HUMID)
So there you have it.
