Cord Jefferson writes that he once broke up with a girl (and turned down a free San Francisco apartment) for Brooklyn.

He too, used to be one of those people that smirked when friends said they were moving out of the city. Then he got a job in L.A. "Getting out of New York helped me rediscover the outside world, while living in LA has reminded me to ignore the world if you’re happy with where you are and what you’re doing," he wrote.
