I Hate Chicago
Even though I've lived here for 25 years, I'll admit that I'm starting to get sick of this place. Just 4 days ago, I was sitting in a park in San Francisco with a t-shirt and jeans on and I was actually warm. And now, I'm in a turtleneck sweater with a long wool coat and it's snowing outside. I used to think that I would miss the snow if I moved away and that the Chicago weather made the Midwesterners tougher. Obviously, I was on crack. I'm looking forward to the days of warm weather and the lack of owning enough sweaters for an army.
Aside from the cold weather, I hate Mayor Daley. Because of him and his retarded city, my car was towed this morning. I was parked in a rush hour zone which stated that towing would start at 7am. I literally got out to my car at 7:02am and the dude had just started putting my car onto the tow truck. I pleaded, I begged, I even offered cash on the spot. No luck. $210 later and an hour late for work, I finally had my car back. Well, to Mayor Daley and all your minions that run this city, I hope that karma catches up with you. Even better, I hope you enjoy the flames of the afterlife.

Excellent points. But try buying a home in SF that's a short commute from the business district for less than $600/sq. ft.

That's funny because this summer I found myself (1) cursing San Francisco for making me wear a fleece on July 8th and (2) cursing the city planners for their short stubby curbs and my Camry's resulting homelessness.
I guess it's all relative. While you're in cold weather with trigger-happy tow trucks, I'm in 83-degree weather where street parking abounds.
The San Francisco scenery is magnificent though.
