The Grass Can Be Greener

"So who likes what city?

Men like Vegas more than women.
Boston: you better have coin as mostly the affluent would rather live in Bean Town.
New York/ LA: Youth is it. 57% of urban dwellers younger than 30 say the city is where they want to live.
Denver/San Diego/Seattle: Youth! Mickie D's or Starbucks: Gotta have the Golden Arches nearby.
Denver/Phoenix/Orlando/San Antonio: Republicans
San Francisco: Half of those who identified themselves as liberal would rather live here."
So i am reading this and i see half of those liberals like San Francisco, does that mean the the other half are conservatives <^_^>

All of the above seem to be urban locals, but what about rural? ...And is the Half Moon Bay coastside truly rural? Besides tourism it does have a large agricultural base, flowers, brussel sprouts and artichokes. I believe HMB grows more roses then any place in the world except Holland.
"The perfect community type?: 30% say they would most like to live in a small town, 25% in a suburb, 23% in a city and 21% in a rural area."

So based on this assertion, HMB is a great place to live.

I know this is true because when someone from areas like Palo Alto are layed off, they tend to leave the area, where as when someone who lives on the coastside is layed off, they work as hard as they can to get another job so they can stay.
I haven't checked out the research done above, but I know that the people who live in HMB, love living in HMB.

Senior Housing Rehab Day In HMB

The Senior Center in Half Moon Bay annually sponsors a home repair day.
Men and women from the coastside and Elsewhere come together and do much needed repairs for seniors who cannot any more. These repairs include gardening, light plumbing, deck repair, stairway or ramp replacement, painting, and a host of other small tasks. Much of the work is done in the Half Moon Bay Senior Park, Canada Cove. Some of the work is done to homes in La Honda, Pescadero, EL Granada, Montara and Moss Beach. Here is what the senior center posts"

"What repairs will be done?
Projects dealing with safety, health and accessibility issues are given priority. In the past we have installed wheelchair ramps, replaced unsafe stairs and porches, fixed plumbing problems, repaired furnaces, painted houses inside and out and cleaned yards.
Who is eligible?
Homeowners must be at least 60 years of age or disabled and unable to do the repairs themselves. Recipients must meet income eligibility requirements.
How do I apply for help?
Call Senior Coastsiders at 726-9056 for an application. Return the application by March 31 with a $10 processing fee.
How do I volunteer?
Anyone fourteen and older can be a volunteer! Volunteers do not need to be skilled at home repairs, but any skills will be utilized. If you would like to volunteer, please call us at 726-9056 or print the Application at the top of this page and send it to us.
Who sponsors the program?
The Home Rehabilitation Program is sponsored by private donations, corporations, local businesses, San Mateo County Aging and Adult Services, and San Mateo County Department of Housing."
This work not only helps those who need a hand, but also brings the coastal citizens a bit closer together.
