I'm an IBMer. Born and raised in the Bay Area, UC Berkeley alum, lived in San Francisco for 8 years, moved to NYC 2 years ago. I miss California life, including my weekly "organic box", the ability to compost, and having at minimum a back patio on which to desperately try my hand at (often-failed) gardening projects. But I love NYC for all its personalities, quirks and fast-talking brilliance. And having now lived on both coasts, and two of the best cities in the world, I like to think my opinion on the future of cities counts.
