The courthouse is right on Lake Merritt and I used to run near there all of the time at night. No it isn't the nicest downtown in the world but it isn't the worst either.
But yeah, it is hard to know what Prudence's temperament is for city living (I don't know where she lives in Seattle). And while I can tolerate Northern California (though don't really like it) I find the thought of living in Southern California abominable. I also can't fathom liking suburban life so we're definitely going to be giving difference viewpoints.
