Hello, alzbabybird! My husband and I are from San Francisco -- and we love Brighton! We live in London, where the bricks are dark, the streets are pretty mungy, and the days can seem pretty gloomy sometimes. But Brighton has white walls, the open ocean, fresh air and friendly people. I hope you'll find it as pleasant as we have (there will --trust me-- be problems no matter what) and that settling in goes well for you.
