So I live in Marin now. If you are not familiar with Marin, it is the place where San Francisco residents move when they find that San Francisco is simply not wealthy, white, and insular enough for them anymore and they need to breathe fresh country air and not interact with anyone who makes less than $200k a year. This is not why I moved here, exactly - my boyfriend and I decided to cohabit and he lives in Marin because his tattoo shop is here.
Anyway, the point is, everything in Marin is way further apart than everything in SF, and I don't own a car, and there is not much public transpo here. The dude very graciously lets me use his Mini almost any time I could possibly want to, so it's not a problem yet, but it is the first big lifestyle difference I've noticed. That and the alarming lack of greengrocer/bodega hybrids as are exceedingly common in "the city" as we are wont to call it. Instead, we buy produce from Mollie Stone's, also known as the more expensive counterpart to Whole Foods.
Living with the dude is glorious. Marin is beautiful, but will take some getting used to after almost four years in SF and Oakland.
