re: You know how I feel about California. I am no fan.....but I would say that some of the most creative people in this country live there. You have to experience to understand it. I did live in Marin County, albeit a long time ago. re: In six years, it has gone from nothing to one of the hottest residential real estate markets in the area. Where people refused to live, people are paying 7 figures for condos. They've built 5K units in two years and there are 6K more in the pipeline. That has nothing to do with creativity, it's a nationwide trend. Hell, it's even happening in provincial downtown Tampa; even Trump is building a tower! Over 10 years ago Chicago switched to a reverse commute; the city was such a great place to live that more people were living in the city and working in the suburbs than the opposite. Downtown's are coming back all over the country. Some would say New York is more creative than LA, some would say that most of what is labeled "creative" out of California is crap (just watch a few sitcoms on TV). I just think it's a bad generalization. John
