Being a big Yankees fan, when I was younger and would get to NY for a Yankees game, I was absolutely dead set certain I wanted to live in NYC when I grew up. To think otherwise was absurd. Now, I can honestly say you couldn't pay me to live there, or any large city for that matter.

I live an hour outside of DC and commute up that way for work. I see what people are willing pay for little bitty apartments just for the sake of "living in DC" and it blows my mind. I look at it and think "you could have a whole house with a yard for that much just an hour away".

There’s a time and place for everything - but I would say that big city life skews younger as priorities change when a family comes along. I guess I still live in a “big city” in Atlanta, but it’s certainly nothing like my time living downtown in places like San Francisco and DC. With all these kids I need every inch of my house and yard these days.

I appreciate both times of my life though - nothing beats rolling out of work after a long day, walking down the street to a bar or restaurant to meet friends, having a great time and then walking home - maybe picking up some groceries on the way. There’s a spirit and energy you feed off of in those places when you really get entrenched.

Of course now I’m too tired for all that and I just want a bourbon on the screened-in porch after I mow the lawn.

But the Border whatever he is, Mayorkis, says the border is closed. From Biden to Mayorkis to Garland to whoever they have, this is the most dishonest administration ever. They constantly lie and the mainstream media never calls them out. If you believe "Bidenomics" is working then you must be rich.
