"There is no single best place to be raised...But one of the really good places to be raised is any place where you learn that there is no single best place to be raised." -Richard Sweder

I was born and raised in San Jose. I used to think and take pride that NorCal is full of down-to-earth people and SoCal is full of materialistic skanks, but from my experience down here, I learned it really depends on your attitude and who you run into. Humans compare things by default...it's not so much of a problem as it is human nature. Apart from bias, we can't always make firm judgments of someone's happiness or well-being.
