My wife and I lived in San Francisco for 8+ years, but am born and raised in New York City (Manhattan - Upper West Side, to be exact

As Americans, I always find that people have a hard time stepping outside their comfort zone. You need to take risks in life. Afterall, with risk can come reward. Go for it! You won't regret it!![Thumbsup](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/thumbsup.gif)
