We lived in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia from 1983 to 1989 when we started to consider where we would return to the states. My wife is from Hawaii and I am from Massachusetts so we wanted a place in between the two. We couldn’t afford Hawaii and my wife didn’t like cold or rainy weather. Our choices were Tucson, Riverside, Seattle, Portland, Oregon, Las Vegas and Sacramento. Our final choice was Sacramento due to weather, affordable housing, near to mountains, ocean, San Francisco, Lake Tahoe. We found the schools very good from elementary to university. The weather has been fine though the heat has been a little hard in my dotage. If I could afford it, I like Carmel, Pleasanton, San Diego.
