Big reason I moved from Ljubljana, Slovenia to San Francisco. There’s just more stuff here and it’s amazing.

The economies of scale are insane. I have more good restaurants within walking distance now than I used to have in the whole city.

FWIW I'm seriously considering doing the reverse. I don't care about restaurants, but cleanness and neatness and uniqueness in Slovenia is something I miss dearly in Cali

You know I feel that all the time and then I go back to visit and after two days I’m like “Oh that’s why I left, there’s nothing to do here”

What I miss most is real nature. Trees that are properly green, the changing of seasons, the mountains in the distance. That’s what I miss most. And good european food. Super hard to find in SF
