My experiences over ~10 yrs in SF:
car break-in (not my own but my laptop was taken)
parking ticket
home invasions, muggings, robberies
I consider myself lucky, but now that my husband and I have been nomads across the US since March, I've realized something important

I’m so much more calm being outside of the city of SF. I don’t feel like I need to be on constant high alert.
I unloaded groceries outside of our rental home in AZ yesterday, didnt lock the car, and realized it in the morning. No sweat. Nothing happened.

I wake up feeling productive because I don’t feel like I need to get ready for combat to walk to work in downtown SF.
WFH certainly helps but the lack of anxiety around my commute and what COULD happen along the way is a huge burden that's been taken off my shoulders.

I have so many friends who are still in SF and have reasons to stay.
Heck, we may be making our way back there at the “end of all this” and we’re incredibly lucky to be able to nomad (1 dog, 0 kids).
But gosh, my lack of anxiety by simply not NOT being there is so tremendous

I really miss the energy and serendipitous nature of stumbling into people I know in SF, but that’s not happening in this COVID era and I don’t know how it’ll return once/if we all return back to our respective offices.
If anyone wants advice on nomading, happy to share some of our experiences.
I don’t know where we’ll land permanently at this point, and I’m so okay with that for now.
All I know is life is good on the outside.
