El Paso, Texas has a low crime rate, mild winters, and Mexico border for easy roids access.

**kaorialfred** · 01-03-2005, 04:41 PM

I know FL is the place, the little woman wants to move to Colorado, or Montana. I am over Orlando, its not the place to be anymore. My wife is an accountant so she has no probs getting a job. Me I do P.T. and have a degree in Graphic Design (print) so I kinda have to start looking here soon. I think my boys will enjoy the snow.

side question what is in Montana? isn't like nothing but snow and mountains. Anyone know? How about Colorado's cities any of them have a good job market. (has to be better than orlando!!)

**tycin** · 01-03-2005, 04:44 PM

if i were to move to the states i would either go to hawaii somewhere or san diego.

**RONINASAUNA** · 01-03-2005, 05:18 PM

I lived in New York, been around the whole state..... it sucks big time and only getting worse....

so

I moved to South Florida. first to Aventura, beautiful but total land "area" of the city is 1.0 sq mile... wtf? and its surrounded by ghettos. So then I move to Boca Raton. Too many darn people... too many old people getting in your way, and a bunch of dumb ass people working at every store down here... Home prices went up 30-50% in the last year.. insane!!! Can't even get a doctor's appointment anywhere here because there are too many people and doctors are too darn slow. I have driven all over Florida (from what it seems like, almost every single street) It sucks, but it's still better than NY.

My wife and I have no clue where to live in the country anymore

Its going down hill really fast and we are thinking about moving to another freakin country! I have traveled all over the US and have almost given up any hope of finding a normal place to live.

Just seems like there really is no place to live any more to enjoy life. You either have to live in/near an overcrowded/overpriced city, and stress out all day, not getting anything done but at least you have a higher paying job. Also pay way too much for no property and a run down home.

Or you could move to the middle of bumfark nowhere, have a decent house with land, where the quality of life is somewhat better.. but--- You have to deal with stupid slow people who can't make friggin change at the register and work in slow motion. Not be able to shop at nice malls, shopping centers, etc. Also nothing for the kids or yourself to do but drink beer, pick your nose and sleep with your cousin. No activities, no nightlife, no culture, no arts and leisure... This to me is just as frustrating as living in a dirty city. Either way, you can't do much of anything or get anything done.

My wife and I sit down at dinner and discuss this topic every night and each night it just becomes harder and harder to make a decision.

If you want a safe area.. you have to give up nice weather and live in a cold climate. If you want to be able to walk around all year in shorts and relax on the beach or by your pool, you have to deal with dumb slow stupid people and horrible schools.

If you dont mind paying 2.60 for a gallon of regular unleaded, dealing with the inevitable 10.0 earthquake, watch your house slide down the side of a mountain, or catch on fire when it hasn't rained in 2 years.. I heard California is nice...lol

All I want is to live somewhere warm, with plenty of activities (outdoor/indoor), be able to buy a decent home with some property size, be able to afford food/gas/clothes, window shop at high end retailers, be able to have a car and not worry about driving in the snow and ice, getting up 1 hour earlier to scrape the darn ice off my car windows because the defroster doesn't clear 1" thick ice off glass, have kids grow up around friendly people, go to great schools, live in a suburban area, close enough to a major city, low taxes, no $8.00 verrazano bridge tolls, nice, clean movie theaters, and have plenty of cultural activities going on, no backward, slow, hillbillies to deal with, low crime rate, low car insurance, plenty of healthcare facilities available,.... I could go on but its pointless imo

Tell me where I can find all the above and I will move there tomorrow

Tapout where are you at, maybe we can hang and gripe about how lame central florida is

I am from St. Pete, Tampa, Brandon,Melbourne, M-Beach, Indian Harbor, Satellite Beach, Cape Canaveral
then last residence was Suntree area before coming to Orlando in 93. Did 5 years on the beach after high school.
Now I am ready to see something new, I guess.

How about Mississippi? As funny as it sounds that is where I'm building my retirement home. Cheap land, affordable housing costs and with the gambling industry there now there is all kinds of activity. Did I mention the golf courses are pretty ****ed good as well? However, on the down side, they do have a state tax and no one, and I do mean no one, ever swims in the gulf....too much myd from the river......but seafood is cheap as heck. Winters are mild and the hunting is great. And the people are nice....I may be a little biased on that last remark.

**fitnessNY** · 01-04-2005, 09:04 AM

Manhattan -- you have absolutely everything here it is great! I have lived here for 8.5 years so far.

Agreed, I love Manhattan.. only 2 problems

#1) not the best place to raise kids imo

#2) cant afford a home and dont want a condo

**Butch** · 01-04-2005, 09:38 AM

I think you all know to steer well away from Los Angeles....you thought the spanish population was bad in Central Florida...come to LA...however, there still are some nice places to live....but I am still single so I can afford it...once I get married and have my own kids...then the lady and I will talk about where to go next.

I think we should all keep in mind that everything happens in cycles...no not the cycle you are on...but the one where sh*t will get bad...but then it will get good again...like the homing market...it is high here now...but I have a feeling it will subside!

If there was any place in LA I could live it would be Manhattan Beach, Palos Verdes, Pennisula, Rancho Palos Verdes, Holmby Hills, Westlake Village....just my .02

**Sierra_Breeze** · 01-04-2005, 10:29 AM

**RONINASAUNA** · 01-04-2005, 11:17 AM

Want to travel to TN to check it out

**Hooligan** · 01-04-2005, 11:51 AM

Northern California hands down.

LA is gross.

Man all of Cali sucks....No Cal more than So Cal...but that is my biased (sp) opinion considering I live in So Cali...

**FRANK WHITE** · 01-04-2005, 01:11 PM

In So Cal Manhatten Beach or Newport Beach or La Jolla would be real nice. Pacific Palisades is nice to. For No Cal Sausalito, Woodside, Mill Valley. I'm from Monterey, Carmel area originally and Its beautiful, just not much economy. One thing positive about L.A. is tons of hot babes. Every small town homecoming queen in the world comes to L.A. to be an actress. Lots of chances to score some high quality trim in L.A.

**Vegas67** · 01-04-2005, 01:20 PM

Vegas Baby...for as long as you can handle it!

**Hooligan** · 01-04-2005, 07:18 PM

Model material stacked with venerial's. I guess whatever you're into.

**Red Ketchup** · 01-04-2005, 08:14 PM

I guess it all depends what you're after...

Personally I'd be happy as a pig in sh!t in some small Vermont village in the shadows of the Green Mountains...
