I hate living in NJ so much. I have never lived in any other state and I'd really like to. Unfortunately, my husband has a great job with the state that he isn't leaving any time soon. So I'm stuck.
Good luckI've lived north of Seattle for most my life (excepting going to college in the bustling metropolis of Ellensburg) and love it. However, I won't be staying past when my kids graduate from high school in all likelihood because it's gotten far too expensive for housing. Last I checked it's expensive all the way up to Bellingham so I might go south. I haven't really looked into it much yet.
And I'm ~20 minutes south of you. I like it.Tacoma WA, right down the interstate from you OP
I like it here
I live in Brazil... wish I didn't. Seriously though, the city I live in is fine, I'm just not a fan of my country. I've dreamed of living overseas ever since I was a kid and I still plan on doing it after I graduate.
My sister-in-law works at the American Embassy so they're stuck in Rabat, but I've loved my time all over the country. The Moroccan people are incredibly friendly, it's a shame the average American is clueless to just how much they have in common with them and most Muslims from the Middle East.
How the chattanooga area? I know they are next to the 3 mountains and have that gig fiber internetI live in Nashville, TN. Some things I like.
The food and weather is mostly nice. Most people are cool too.
No. Maine is like 98% white and besides fried seafood the food sucks. Plus winters are hell. After living in Tokyo, Los Angeles and New York, I feel like it's a special kind of hell here.
It's probably hard as hell to form good relationships with Mainers if you're not from there, is it?
In Maine people use the much-used term "From Away" to describe anybody not from Maine (i.e. "He's from away"). So yeah it was pretty rough going at first. I joined a band a couple of years ago and we play out a lot so that has helped me tremendously in getting more acquainted with Mainers, but yeah I'm still the Super Liberal Cali Guy with zero New England accent. lol. I've noticed that Mainers put up a very strong barrier at first, even wearing suspicion on their sleeves. But once they "know" you they open up very willingly. In Cali it was kinda the opposite, like EVERYONE was super warm and friendly when they first meet you then you start noticing the cracks later. lol.
Also from the northern US and my first visit to Florida I couldn't believe how hard it was to breath for me. That heat and humidity is something else. Don't know how people do it (willingly that is).Weather, scenery, etc. I grew up in the north and like to spend a lot of time outside hiking, backpacking, running, etc.
Florida is flat, hot, and ugly. It was 84 degrees here the other day. There are no seasons, every day feels the same. Sunny and hot. For some people this may be fine, but I need seasons and weather that changes throughout the year. I also prefer the mountains, and once you go inland and away from the beaches, Florida is about as flat and ugly as it gets.
i was pretty impressed how reasonable some of the apartments are out in the crossroads area. can't be that much more than what you pay over in JOCOKansas City is amazing. The suburbs on the Kansas side where I live, not so much. I'd love to be able to afford a loft or apartment downtown but that's way away.
Yea but then you get to gloat about how everybody else sucks at dealing with the winter weatherYes, best place to live in the US -- MA.
Winters are terrible.
Love it.
Relatively cheap, best public transportation, can walk to work and gyn, have a HUGE supermarket directly next to my house. Amazing night life - everything is open all night.
Why not try Huntington, Charleston or Morgantown?No. I hate it. I'm in the middle of nowhere wv. No tech, no entertainment, nothing but tradition obsessed conservative bible belt rednecks that worship coal and trump.
Get me the fuck outta here.
