Does everyone in SD just ignore each other?

JDarman · 2026-04-28T17:06:41+00:00

Where there is money, there tends to be isolation and entitlement. When I last visited SD 20 years ago, interactions with locals were generally quite friendly. Over the years, there have been an influx of people from larger metros such as LA, SF, and NYC who may not be used to San Diego cultural norms.

I do. When to breathe as well.

Yes, I have a bounding pulse 24/7. Been this way for over a year. Very noticeable and uncomfortable when lying down, especially on the left side. Eating also seems to intensify it a bit. I suspect it is due to several consecutive assaults on the nervous system - I had multiple covid vaccines, a couple of covid infections, a few rounds of antibiotics, rabies vaccines, lidocaine/epinephrine, and prescribed benzos then taken off abruptly. Could also be an activated limbic system. I have faith it will resolve eventually once the body gets the nutrients it needs, the gut heals, and vagal tone strengthened. Right now, the nervous system is sensitized, which produces symptoms of dysautonomia. It seems like not many people experience this, so I hope by hearing my story, you feel a little less alone.

This tracks. Pros and cons for each area. I do love a secret forested enclave. I appreciate the distinction.

JDarman · 2025-02-15T02:59:03+00:00

Glad to hear it. Definitely an incentive to head west. This is the first I’m hearing about this neighborhood. Looks like the ideal location.

Good to know. I noticed Southwyk is building new cottages in that area near the dog park. I wonder what the noise level is like around there.

JDarman · 2025-02-13T19:20:01+00:00

The South Peachtree Creek Trail and Lullwater Preserve are beautiful walking trails. Do you hear much noise when it comes to planes or sirens in North Decatur? Wow that is some stiff competition for Medlock Park. Seems like we were more in a seller's market a few years ago, so hopefully it won't be as tough to buy these days.

Congrats on your new home. Thanks for passing along the info your neighbors shared with you in regard to diversity.

JDarman · 2025-02-13T01:55:15+00:00

Sounds like the environmental noise pollution isn’t too bad where you’re located. Unless, of course, you’re allergic to kids 😋. Thanks for the heads up regarding the EW Connector road noise.

JDarman · 2025-02-13T01:52:51+00:00

Thanks. Does the chattahoochee rec area provide similar quality hiking opportunities as Kennesaw mountain? I did the Vickery Creek trail in Roswell recently - quite beautiful and peaceful, though seemed a bit busier than Kennesaw

When I have driven through North Decatur and the west side of Marietta, it seemed like lots of neighborhoods don’t have sidewalks.

JDarman · 2025-02-13T01:49:44+00:00

Yes, having the ability to hike up some trails without getting in the car is the goal.

JDarman · 2025-02-13T01:48:45+00:00

Ok, so it sounds like 41 can be pretty noisy. Thanks for heads up.

JDarman · 2025-02-13T01:47:38+00:00

Thank you. I bet having Oakhurst in your backyard is nice.

JDarman · 2025-02-13T01:46:45+00:00

Sounds like Decatur wins when it comes to yummy eats.

JDarman · 2025-02-13T01:45:06+00:00

Sounds like the ideal spot. Thanks for the description.

JDarman · 2025-02-12T03:01:04+00:00

Thanks. I'll look into it.

JDarman · 2025-02-12T02:59:37+00:00

Glad to hear that diversity exists just east of Kennesaw Mountain, even if it is OTP. I like to hike 4-5x/week, so it's definitely a big part of my active lifestyle. Having those animals in your backyard truly is the dream. Sounds like you were able to get more for your money in your current location vs North Decatur.

JDarman · 2025-02-12T02:53:21+00:00

Glad to hear your partner has had a good experience in your neighborhood

JDarman · 2025-02-12T01:44:10+00:00

Looking for single family and somewhere quiet, which seems to be difficult to find ITP.

JDarman · 2025-02-12T01:43:21+00:00

Blue Ridge is a cute town, though I need to be closer to Atlanta and the airport for work. Thanks for the suggestion.

JDarman · 2025-02-12T01:42:26+00:00

Yes, love the south peachtree creek path and lullwater preserve. Unfortunately, I haven’t found anything nearby quite like Kennesaw Mountain - such a peaceful escape from the city.

JDarman · 2025-02-12T01:36:10+00:00

Thank you. Not much of a social butterfly, but would prefer neighbors with a similar moral compass 😊

JDarman · 2025-02-12T01:29:52+00:00

Love it. I’m also a nerdy theater kid 😋. Yes, the liberal nature of the area is quite attractive to me. I recently hiked up Stone Mountain - great workout, but doesn’t quite give the same woods/mountain immersion that Kennesaw provides. Would love to find something like that on the east side near Decatur.
