For those that like this sort of thing, they will find that this will be the sort of thing they like. Personally, not enough cloud or rain or gale force winds, and no trace of blizzard at all. All too typically pretty, or overbuilt, or grandly sweeping. Doesn't move me at all, only makes me want to erase all the man-made structures and see it how it was a few centuries ago.
Looking off toward Mexico.
To downtown San Diego.
The
Scripps Pier and
Coast Hwy with adjacent beaches.
Or so we were told, and have no reason to doubt.
Maybe we were just tired of California by this point. We could so NOT live there. Oregon, maybe. The boring-weathered, freeway-thick southern state? Not a chance in hell. Friends notwithstanding.

I always think there's something good about knowing where you don't want to be.
I used to walk on that beach near the Scrips Pier with my mother. It's a good beach. But I agree with you about California.
Jerry says he lived in the wrong century. We have been studying about the settlement of Iceland by the Norse. He would have liked that time before buildings and roads.
If you could swap out the generic houses for geodesic domes and give the skyscrapers mirror sides, that might work.
Lucy,
Well, that and D does not drive, and I hate driving. Just not workable. Sometimes, you wind up where you wind up, and you got to make it work.

As would most of us. Too damn many people, but whatcha gonna do?
Pacian,
There is at least one geodesic done house there. An issue of waterproofing keeps this from being a more popular house form, I'm told. Not sure I'd be ok with a lot of mirror surfaces in that kind of light, either.
