Just go. There's always something to complain about, you'll never hear the end of it.
Amherst, NY is up there. I lived there too for a short while. Does anyone know what the winter is like there? And how long it lasts? Exactly.
More opinions, top 5 for example:
1. Carmel, IN$304,340 (middle of nowhere)
2. McKinney, TX$245,917 (TX, who here would go there?)
3. Eden Prairie, MN$413,566 (brrrrrr)
4. Newton, MA$850,117 (avg listing is how much?!)
5. Redmond, WA$518,982 (just read the comments)
They can be long, but the area is prepared for it and life goes on as usual. It is a very nice suburb of Buffalo and its location can allow you to go to places like Niagara Falls, Toronto, the Finger Lakes and a couple of Great Lakes all within a couple of hours.
What people don't know is that the overall cost of living up here is on par with much of the South. So, if you can deal with the weather and can get a job, you can swing it.
Also, for the guy interested in going to Maine, you may like this area, if nothing else, but for vacation: VISIT THE 1000 ISLANDS
Two things I cannot dispute that are superior in California to the NY metro area: food quality (most things are cheaper and fresher) and weather. NYC is proud of it's restaurants and should be, but San Francisco restaurants are on par, and run of the mill non-fancy neighborhood type places are almost always of a higher grade on the West Coast. You can buy 4 avocados for a dollar on sale in LA....
I cannot agree about the weather. Six months of temps below 60 and most of those are below 50, and sometimes you get a cold spring and then got right into summer. That was one factor behind my move.

You're talking about San Fran? I don't like the heat or the extreme cold...my favorite month on LI is October, so to me, SF weather is ideal. When other people are complaining about it being chilly, I'm loving it....40-75 and I'm good, especially if the sun is out.
