Speak for yourself. My happiness went up massively when I finally left Seattle for California. And my feeling about that hasn't changed over time.

Yeah, I'm gonna second that. Once I moved from the UK to Silicon Valley - no matter how much I love "back home" and the fact that London truly is one of the great world cities in which to live - there's no way I'm moving back to that weather. It is very hard to leave.

After a decade of scraping ice off my windshield in the dark in the morning California looked like nirvana. It would take a lot to get me to move back to a city with a real winter again.
It's like buying a brand new car. Sure it's nice and cool looking, but eventually it becomes just a transportation option to get you from point a to point b. Or it could be like that you're going to buy a house with a pool. However, you'll rarely actually use the swimming pool.
