Tell me where you live or have lived and what you liked and disliked about it.

Job selection, cost of living, climate, girls, venues for entertainment, fancy gay bars, whatever.


If you haven't lived there, I don't care about it.


Use descriptive words or absolutes, everybody assigns different meanings to cheap rent, good climate, blah blah.

[ILoveMyRHS13]

Lancaster county, Pennsylvania.

Pros:
It's quiet, and a good community.
Not a high rate of crime (unless you're in Lancaster City or Reading City)
Plenty of jobs if you're a mechanic. There are small family garages EVERYWHERE.
Cost of living isn't too high, either.

Cons:
There is NOTHING to fucking do.
There isn't a big selection of good looking women. Most of them are big, hairy, manly and gross. If you manage to find a good looking one, she's most likely a rich, stuck up bitch.
The weather sucks. You get the extreme on both ends. It's fucking hot in the summer and fucking cold in the winter.

amidoinitrite?

Reppin Norcal.

Post 1/eleventybillion on cali.

Lived in the south bay my entire life. All the girls here won't give you the time of day. They're all either stuck up or ghetto.

The cost of living here is absurdly high. Probably ranks in the top 20th percentile in the entire U.S. I'm currently paying 2k a month for a 2b2b apartment with about 1200sq ft in a nicer neighborhood.

The climate rarely gets colder than 40 degrees with sunshine most of the year. Love it.

Wish I could spend 200k and get a mansion like out in the midwest. Out here though, 200k will get you a run down shitty condo in the ghetto. FUUUU

[ManoNegra]

LA, Socal has been that only place I've ever called home
but LA is so big that different places have their own regional identities
I live in the Crenshaw area near downtown
ghetto but coming up
the hipsters are spreading like weeds every where and cool trendy areas
keep developing
where I live is a mix of both
alright during the day but I wouldn't walk around at night
what I love about LA is that everything is here culture wise
it's always sunny and warm
you can go to the beach during "winter"
cost of living is high if you want to be a snob and live in the nice areas
if you're smart you can find reasonable places to live
rent a house with roommates for ~2k in an ok area
girls are hot and vary from mellow hippy, goth, trendy, snobs... whatever you like
depending on where you go looking for them

jobs? can't speak for others but for my field of work, there seems to be plenty of jobs
I've looked and easily found ~8 open, well paying, positions within a 30min drive


sucks?
traffic, gas is not cheap
cops can be dicks if you insist on driving your bozozoku style car with 4" exhaust
but usually don't mess with you if you don't give them a reason
if you insist on living "the lifestyle" it can get expensive really quick

[az_240]

I've lived in Idaho, Colorado, Texas, Nebraska over the summers, Tucson and PHX in AZ.

My favorite hands down is PHX (mostly the east valley) in AZ.

Lots of hot chicks, good skating/parks, dry weather year round in PHX, lakes nearby, tons of desert to go riding/shooting, 1 1/2 drive to the mountains, 3 hour drive to go snowboarding, ASU/Tempe, cheap living.

Downsides are lots of illegals and people that steal stuff, douchebags (more than usual), really hot weather, hard to find a decent job, everything is spread out so it takes at least 20 minutes to go anywhere/car is a must/ hard to go to bars and find a ride, and some of the laws are pretty screwed up.

[D.Adams]

Lake Havasu City, Arizona

Pros:
Not a high rate of crime
It's quiet, and a good community.
Cost of living isn't high.
Cops are cool if your not a tool
Nice scenery
The lake is awesome
Nice looking girls
Major party town
No SMOG laws
The London Bridge



Cons:
Its fucking hot {120 plus deg during the summer}
Not a big import scene here
Jobs not to many of them rite now
The California kids come out thinking they own this place
Only a handfull of 240's here

murda valley(recently became famous fer that)
MORENO VALLEY, CA
I live on the northern side the richer older side(im not rich nor old)
anyway, its chill can cruise it up on long boards on this side all night and day, however the midwest and southwest is typically where the hood people reside, they bang on errbody
even old people,
honestly this is probably the most ignorant, ghettest area i've ever lived in my entire life
(mid west area of mo. val.)
id walk down the street in mid day( i'm just a whatever kind of guy)
and get jumped!
like wtf
anyway after that i started carrying a shank,
anyway yeah after that it was whatever unless someone pulled a gun i was good
movals alright in general a couple of things to do

ive lived all over oc and it was the best years of my life!

I was initially worried about this thread, but I think I like this.
I will play too


Tell me where you live or have lived
Greensboro, NC
274** (** = 01, 03, 05, 06, 07, 08, 09, 10, 11 or 55 to my knowledge)ZIP
what you liked about it.
I'm down south, everything is familiar, people are genuinely nice and courteous, and life is just NEVER gonna be that hard.
what you disliked about it.
Some people are GENUINELY country and ignorant as fuck.
[Phlip note - this is the exception, and not the rule, so miss me with that shit]
Job selection
Mostly customer service/healthcare/education/banking jobs, but they're here in droves. Ton of schools of all ages, yes even higher learning and fucking TON of hospitals and medical facilities.
cost of living
1200 ft² house (not apartment) in a good neighborhood, built in 1983 for 94k.. I pay 685 a month in mortgage/escrow and live 4 blocks from a grocery store, I can live like this.
climate
Winter is goddamned cold, expect 10º
Summer is goddamned hot, expect 100º
Expect 60% humidity on both of those, making it worse.
girls
college town, say no more
venues for entertainment
Overrun with clubs and bars, college town. 25,000 seat arena is used for college basketball, as we're dead center of ACC country
fancy gay bars
Those too, college town
If you haven't lived there, I don't care about it.
31 years, 1 month, 19 days 11 hours and 35 minutes as of when I type this.
Use descriptive words or absolutes, everybody assigns different meanings to cheap rent, good climate, blah blah.
Fuckfuckfuckityfuckfuckfuck.... That colorful enough?


In all, this is home, I was born here, went to college here and now I have planted my roots here with the purchase of my house last year.
I have been a great many other places, but I always long for home, so rather than being that dick that moves elsewhere and complains because it ain't home (http://callmephlip.blogspot.com/2010/08/it-aint-where-you-from.html), this is where I will be for the foreseeable future.
Good food, good times, good family, it is all here. My only complaint is the weather, but I hate snow and we only get it a few weeks out of the year. I really wish I could be somewhere with milder summer temps, but I am torn by my cost of living being what it is. As an alcoholic, I am willing to be here, as I can justify the savings as beer money.

[SochBAT]

I totally forgot Phliptop was still alive.

[ronmcdon]

Los Angeles, CA

Don't know about job selection, worked in the same company forever.
Economy seems to be hit as bad as anywhere else.

Cost of living.
Is moderate (high for the US, reasonable for most nicer cities in the world). Worst thing is price of housing (rent or buy), followed by taxes, and car insurance rates.

Girls.
Here's where I disagree, I don't think it's anything special.
Then again I'm in the San Fernando Valley & Downtown area most often.

Entertainment.
We have pretty much everything. Driving events, great bars (if like beer and cocktails) & food stand out. just sucks there's a 2AM curfew & lack of mass transit, which limits certain options. IDK how ppl avoid getting DUI's here. Lot of different hubs of culture in diff areas.

[zylvia213]

Lost Angeles, CA

pros:

weather is good here
almost everything is close by like beach/mountains/lakes etc
Different kinds of food mexican/central american/italian/american/asian etc
A lot of good looking latinas and asian girls
The city of LA is always cracking lots of bars, clubs, house parties
There is a lot of car related events drift/willow springs/irwindale/car meets/low rider car shows etc...

Cons:

crime
ghetto people
LAPD dont really care
Metro bus drivers drive like a bunch of idiots
The ghetto bird at night doesnt let people sleep at times
Traffic on the street and fwy's
gas is expensive

But at the end theres no place like home

[FlatDrftCJS]

San Francisco, CA. It's a cool place with outstanding public transportation. You don't need a car to go anywhere in the city. Downtown has a whole plethora of stores and things to do. I dislike the traffic on 101 leading up to the bay bridge. I don't like the super liberals telling me what I should and should not believe in ( I consider myself liberal). Gas is super expensive, well then again everything is super expensive. My tiny 3 bedroom house is worth about 3 mil. There are no big chain stores like Target and Walmart in the city. In some areas parking can be a pain in the a$$. There are all types of jobs here ranging from biotech to being a longshoreman or a day laborer. But with the economy jobs are kinda scarce. There are plenty of fancy gay bars near me in the Castro. The coldest it has ever gotten is 40º F and hottest 105ºF. Girls are so stuck up though, not like in the SoCal area where chicks are so easy to talk to. These chicks seem like you need a note with your job title, how much you make a year, what your family does, what car you drive, what college you went to, blah f them stuck up hoes.

[lawrenceyang]

Irvine, CA

Pros:
Probably the cleanest place I've ever been. there are literally no bums on the street, everything is sparkling clean.
Safety, I think it has one of the lowest crime rates in the US (dont quote me on this but I can believe it), never have to be afraid to go out by yourself
Beach is close, as in within biking distance
Climate is great, it's socal
College girls everywhere. Mostly asian if that's your thing
I go to school here >____> so that's convenient

Cons:
Everything looks the fucking same. endless plazas everywhere
Gets boring sometimes, nothing really entertaining to do out here
Hella asian drivers everywhere
Standard of living is ultra high
Since there's no crime here cops are SUPER BORED which means they will pull your ass over for anything. i routinely seen three to six patrol cars when i just bike to the grocery store a block away

i've lived in mo val since 85' and i'm not too old i'm 26 and to be honest it hasn't been too bad, but it feel's since the last few years it has progressively gotten worse. i'v noticed the biggest change once they put in vista del lago highschool by my house, every week seems to be a fight in front of my house. when i try to exit my neighborhood in my car every single kid in their damn skinny jeans stare me down while i'm trying to fucking make a turn. Is it me or is the generation of these days total d-bags?

Can you live in LA and walk places or do you have to deal with shitty traffic?


Also, every person is talking about how bitchy the girls are, maybe girls are just bitches everywhere you go?

[Silverbullet]

I lived in noVA (DC metro area) for 21 years from Arlington County to Fairfax County.

There are jobs everywhere in he fields of business, finance, law, politics, engineering/technology, medical, realistate, food service Cost of living is relatively higher than most areas, however I think it is worth it. Climate is neutral. It gets warm in the summer, cold enough to snow in the winter. There are womenz of all colors, majority being young professionals. There are sports bars pretty much everywhere. There are tons of clubs in DCs of all types of music (house, electronic, top 40, latin, regge). There are probably gay bars also.

Car scene makes its mark IMO. Just about everyone has an import tuner car, espeically if you goto a local college (GMU, UMD)

What is great about is overall is the diversity, and how there is pretty much everything. Traffic is a negative about the area. Its one of those things I'm just used to from living there for so long.

----------------

Since 2008, I've lived in Norfolk VA (Hampton Roads). Jobs are good if your Navy or in Navy related field (engineering/tech, medical). Cost of living can be overpriced for specific areas, but Hampton Roads area in general is considered average or below average cost of living. There are significantly less females than males in the area, due to the huge Navy presence. The area is by the beach, so you can imagine beach festivities and board walk bars. Climate is nice. It is ideal for me. It is nice and warm in the summer, and just hardly cold enough to snow. The area lacks high ways IMO, and there are lots of black people, not the good kind.

There are not that many car ppl in the area.

It is a nice area if your into hunting, fishing, offroading, Navy stuff. It is supposed to be a big tourist trap for the mid atlantic area, however i feel its a little over rated.

Rapid City, South Dakota

Pro: Smaller Town (sub 100k people)
TONS of out doors stuff to do. (hiking, climbing, boating, rafting, ect)
Easy going way of life, people tend to be nicer.
Cost of living is not super high, however not super low. (average good size house (2000-3000sq ft houses average in the 180k-250k range new)
Lots of good looking girls, that arent all about themselves.
Typical entertainment shit: Movies, Malls, Ice skating rink, swimming pools, Lakes, Bars
Lots of smaller nicer places to eat that doesnt empty your pocket.
Jobs: The market is still really good here, hardly any layoffs this whole time, Easy to get a job still (IMO) Just not a TON of technical/computer based jobs out there.
Climate: Not super hot in the summer (80's are average, with a few 90's thrown in the mix)
10mins from town i can get a view like this (see pic)

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d190/driftking777/Hiking/DSC00809.jpg


Cons: Its a smaller town (this can go both ways for people)
Not alot of indoor stuff to do, since most of everything is geared towards outdoors
Climate: cold as shit in the winter, we also get blizzards that shut shit down for days sometimes. (see pic at end of post)
Not much of a Newer car scene, everything is older, and most of the newer car scene people are douche teenagers
Cost of living in the recent 5 years have been driven up from Southerners (california, colorado, Arizona) people moving up here and buying houses cheap (housing went up about 25% cost wise)
Not very Tech based out here.
Your in the middle of nowhere, if you want to go to a big city you have to travel a minimum of 5 hours

I honestly disagree with this everytime I go to SF to have a good time girls are really nice and easy to talk to its way better then out here in San jose. Girls are more stuck up in Sj then anywhere else I been too.

Girls are only stuck up if you're ugly and/or poor.

Royal Oak, Michigan

Living here for half of 2010.

Pros:

Quiet, nice Main street with plenty of people out and about at night. Lots of cool classic cars.

Cons:

Close to Detroit, poverty, and shady people. Nothing to do. Weird people. Always raining. Tornado warnings once a week. No drift scene. No import cars at all really. It's really humid. It sucks. There is nothing to do. There is nothing to do. I have nothing to do. What is there to do? Nothing. Oh wait, the movie theater is playing Wayne's World. Maybe I will go watch that.

Inland Empire southern California
Pros:
Houses are pretty affordable compared with the rest of southern California.
Nice quite communities (ex Temecula, Murrieta, Menifee/Sun City )


Cons:
Aside from the above mentioned the Inland Empire is one of the worst areas to live in all of Southern California. It is a cespool of Bros, hicks, and various poor, ugly, trashy people. You cannot go one day without seeing some tool in a lifted truck on the road. Dirtbikes are also popular in this area. The IE is home to the infamous "Adams kart track" where colorful characters such as Eddy T and Ladi Z hail from.

[franklin93zx]

I could not have said it better myself, although it's my generation I'm ashamed of the kids that I have to share it with. I live in Riverside CA and I went back to my previous school to visit and it has quite a few speed bumps so I was taking my time getting over one and revved a little to much on accident which triggered a "who could be the bigger douche and be the loudest" between this POS honda ef that look like it could even make it down the road and a VW buggy and i was stuck inbetween both. I was laughing at them as they were starring at me waiting as if I would join them.

(Waits to see 95% posts about Cali.)

I currently live in Columbia, Missouri. I've been living here for about ten years, after moving all over as an Army brat. Population is around 100K, with another 30K during the school year.

It's a college town, with the University of Missouri being the big one. Also Columbia College (my alma mater) and Stephens College (all wimmens) are here too. Columbia is located at the junction of I70 and HWY63, midway between St. Louis and Kansas City- about 2hrs to either city.

I like that it's a liberal town in the middle of a conservative state, creates a nice balance. Lots of friendly, midwestern folk. With that comes a lot of ignorant sumbitches. Housing is cheap compared to the coasts. There's lots of hospitals here, so there's plenty of medical jobs.

There's lots of bars (200+), but very few "clubs". Good local music scene, plenty of good food.

Car-wise, there's a small scene (the college helps). No emissions, easy to pass inspections. Cops aren't gonna bother you unless you do something stupid. There's dragstrips in KC and STL, with AutoX available as well. There's plans for an actually track to be built by the Carl Edwards family just 20 miles up the highway or so.

Weather: Humid. Two years ago I went to Egypt, it was 120 degrees, and it felt wonderful compared to Mid-Missouri in summer. Fortunately the really hot times only last a few weeks. We have maybe 2-3 decent snows a year, usually under 6 inches accumulation. Some years we'll randomly get a few feet. The saying around here goes, "If you don't like the weather in Missouri, wait five minutes". Tornados and flash floods abound.

I hated it here as a teen, but it's grown on me. After a 6000 mile tour of the west, I arrived back in town and realized Missouri is a really nice, green, hilly sort of place. There's a reason people settled here! Come check it out, Missouri really does love company.

[SochBAT]

Current location = Abilene Texas. Its pretty cool. Really lowkey. There is at least one church per city block. Almost everyone is a holyroller, and everyone seemingly hates things that are different. The old people are all closet racists, I often overhear them talking about "them new naggers taking over their town." Its retarded. Predominantly whites, about 30% are mexican/asians/blacks. Its a mix of rural and suburban. The people here are also predominantly dumbfucks. College students still misspell/misuse YOUR. I hate it.

The job selection is mainly manufacturing/industrial. There's a huge boom in wind towers, so if anyone needs a job in Abilene, look into that. Easy money, not too exhausting. One dumb thing about the town is that wages are regulated strictly. There aren't any high paying jobs besides working in the wind towers or oil field shit. It sucks. Minimum wage is barely $7.75

Cost of living is low. 1b1b home goes for about 350ish, everything included. The weather sucks dick. Its always hot. Stagnant heat, no breeze. And on those extra hot humid days, it rains sweat. Everyone rushes outside to play in the sweat water without realizing its FUCKING SWEAT WATER. THEY DRINK IT OUT OF THE SKY FOR FUCKS SAKE.

Girls? An amazing assortment. You've got the chubbies, the BBWs, the plumpers, the SBBWs, and rarely, the sporty fit kid. This city's blood is fucking buffets. No "quality" dining like Applesbees or anything. Just buffets.

Food - There's a guy here renown for his good buffet reviews. Seriously? FUCK THIS NOISE. Siderant - you know when you think of Texas, you picture cowboys? Marlboro men? Outback steakhouse guy? Yea. Not here. Everyone is fucking obese as shit, they don't care for healthiness, and gyms have to shut down because the lack of business. I have a regular customer come in and order a dozen donuts FOR HIMSELF. He plops his fat ass into a seat somehow, and goes to town on those fucking things. I start feeling bad the the belt he's wearing. No cow deserves that kind of punishment. Fuck. Everyone agrees when I say the best thing to have in town, besides steak, is fucking JACK IN THE BOX. There is ONE in town. The steakhouses are amazing. I love it. Mesquite, slow-cooked, with semi-cute/doable waitresses.

Entertainment - Theres a stripclub called Jaguars about 5 minutes out of town. Literally is packed EVERY NIGHT. Their Mondays are called Manly Mondays. Its actually Gay day. This town is packed with closet gays too. Check craigslist if you think I'm shitting you, but don't ask why. If not the stripclub, its BuffaloWildWings. The wait is no shorter than 45 minutes at any given time. Its gay. The only 'fun' thing to do is the mall. But the mall is patrolled by cops Friday through Sunday. From 12P until closing. No kids under 16 can be alone. No travelling in groups of 3 or more. No adult supervision = ticket. These kids are locked down so damn hard.

AdultFun? Everyone has a ranch. Everyone has a lake. Shoot deer/turkey/raccoons/humans/fish/dogs/cats/children. No one cares. Everyone is gun happy.

I don't think many older people like me, even though I do respect my elders. Skinny jeans never caught on, so I often get weird looks and asked "Where are you from?" Its strange. Everyone thinks everyone from SoCal can swim/surf/meet celebs/rage all the time/go to the beach forever/reality TV bullshit. FUCK.

Sidenote - at the local community college, some girl hit on me. WHILE HOLDING HER 11 MONTH OLD BABY. Everyone here is pregnant, is expecting, has kids, or can't wait to have kids. They're all knocked up at 18, married by 19, and divorced at 21. Fucking kids are retarded.

pros: small laid back community. Cops here are pretty cool, everybody is your buddy, people like to help you and not alot of racism. Gas here is usally allways cheap compared to most areas up here.

cons: very boring boring boring town. Everyone knows what you are up to. Somehow everyone is your cousion(by marriage) Lots of beaner pride here(im mexican) no jobs at all! The nearest places to go are chico(if your into that college stuff) or you can go to sac but most dont they rather go to chico. I choose to go to sac but thats me.

cost of living: Dirt cheap! Alot of people live here and commute to sacramento and greater area. Lots of land available on most houses if you want it.

food: not much just 3 main places and there all mexican restruant. Only 1 mainstream restruant and thats subway.

Girls: lots of girls just you never knew whos your cousion.... mostly mexican population here. Yes there are whites and seek's but not as much of mexicans.

car scene: car scene sucks here but i like it like that. At most, just lots of honda boys(live down my block...)

If you like peace and quiet. A low key/simple life stlye to raise a family then this is for you. If you like adventure, night life, meeting new people and lots of opertunitys in life then dont come here...im trying to leave.

Current city : Battle Ground, Washington.

Job selection: nothing much really. everyone here either drives to vancouver WA to work or Portland which is only 30 minutes away.

Cost of living: pretty average i guess? newer homes for around 150-200k ish. all the plazas and stores are within like a 1 mile stretch of road, so you wont spend much money while here.

Climate: Summer includes 70-95 degree weather, and some rain. haven't lived here long enough to know about winter, but damn does it rain like an ocean during spring.

Girls : plenty of white high school girls around the neighborhood walking around at night and such. perfect for your typical teenage kid or pedophile.

Entertainment : what's that?

Cars : actually im quite suprised. for such a small population theres quite a mix of cars. anything to hot rods and classic cars to imports and plenty of lifted trucks.

All in all, 95% of the residents here are white, and me being asian, i get stared at like an alien everywhere i go. you have your typical hillbillies and lots of old people. this place is surrounded by farms and ranches and such. cool huh?

id like to include more information about my previously lived locations such as Riverside California or Worcester Massachusetts or even Albuquerque New Mexico but that'd take too long.

San Francisco, CA. It's a cool place with outstanding public transportation. You don't need a car to go anywhere in the city. Downtown has a whole plethora of stores and things to do. I dislike the traffic on 101 leading up to the bay bridge. I don't like the super liberals telling me what I should and should not believe in ( I consider myself liberal). Gas is super expensive, well then again everything is super expensive. My tiny 3 bedroom house is worth about 3 mil. There are no big chain stores like Target and Walmart in the city. In some areas parking can be a pain in the a$$. There are all types of jobs here ranging from biotech to being a longshoreman or a day laborer. But with the economy jobs are kinda scarce. There are plenty of fancy gay bars near me in the Castro. The coldest it has ever gotten is 40º F and hottest 105ºF. Girls are so stuck up though, not like in the SoCal area where chicks are so easy to talk to. These chicks seem like you need a note with your job title, how much you make a year, what your family does, what car you drive, what college you went to, blah f them stuck up hoes.

Lived in San Francisco for about two years myself (Fremont district on 3rd @ Geary?).
I felt it was a nice place to visit, but a god-awful miserable place to live.
It's just dirty, expensive, has bad weather, hardly any sunshine, poor parking, filled with droves of the mentally disturbed and/or homeless, etc.

The girls are ok though, actually less materialistic than those in Los Angeles imo.
Not as many fatties either.
There are also great places to eat & decent culture.
Lots of indie film festivals and good concerts while I was there.

It's not a good place overall, but still better than living in the Bay Area (lived in East Bay for 2 years).
The ppl are cool though, it was easier for me to meet girls and friends in general.
maybe picking the district that's right for you is important.

Lancaster county, Pennsylvania.

Pros:
It's quiet, and a good community.
Not a high rate of crime (unless you're in Lancaster City or Reading City)
Plenty of jobs if you're a mechanic. There are small family garages EVERYWHERE.
Cost of living isn't too high, either.

Cons:
There is NOTHING to fucking do.
There isn't a big selection of good looking women. Most of them are big, hairy, manly and gross. If you manage to find a good looking one, she's most likely a rich, stuck up bitch.
The weather sucks. You get the extreme on both ends. It's fucking hot in the summer and fucking cold in the winter.
IT SMELLS SO BAD

NORTHERN California.

Place sucks, avoid at all costs.

[ronmcdon]

Of course, you live in San Jose.

[240drift916]

Sacramento, California

Pros:
-The State Fair
-The Galleria Mall
-The lowes parking lot in Citrus Heights, its where a lot of people who have an intrest in cars go in the sac area to meet an talk about cars
-Arnold Schwarzenegger lives here
-We have a pretty good mix of sum Amazing looking women, and some ugggllllyy ass women and some in the middle (also known as she ain't hot but i'd still hit)
-Not an extremely expensive place to live
-Gas is at an acceptable price

Cons:
-Aint SHIT to do besides the mall and the fair for like a month n a half in the summer.
-It gets hot as fuckkkkkkkk
-Winters get cold but are bearable
-Some areas are ghetto as hell like straight nasty
-Cops in Placer County are the biggest DOUCHE bags on the face of this planet
-Its california, so if you have an SR or an RB you better know someone to pass your smog or leave it as a track car

I hate living here strictly because its so fuckin boring, and the cops fuckin suck ass other then that not a bad place to raise a family but as a youngen its just not workin too well for me

Of course, you live in San Jose.

Sac might as well be Afghanistan, SF is cramped overcrowded and 10x expensive. Then there's Oakland. SJ is the only livable major city in Norcal.

:(

FUUU

[ronmcdon]

There are some nicer areas in Oakland, I think Piedmont was ok.
I'd try to live close to SF if I were to move back, but not in SF.

San Jose has always stuck me as the OC of Norcal.
Looks clean and has jobs, but is expensive and isn't much more than suburban sprawl.
Never looked interesting the dozen or so times I drove down there from SF/East Bay.
But seriously, nothing real estate-wise is cheap in the whole SF Bay Area.
Doesnt even seem like housing prices have dropped with the whole recession.

I actually don't mind Sac too much, visited often when my brother went to UC Davis.
Sac has a nice downtown.

[VROOOM]

I live in Long Beach. so by default i know Snoop Dog, thats the first thing people say when they find out your from LB.

^^^soooo....do you know snoop dog?

:D

[WanganRunner]

Gaithersburg MD, suburb of Washington DC. (most of this applies to any of Southern Montgomery County, Northwest DC, or NoVA).


Pros:
-Lots to do (many bar districts, decent music scene, events come here, etc)
-Restaurants (we're probably the 5-6th best city in the US for restaurants now)
-Jobs. We're least hit by the recession compared to any other major city
-Easy to own modified cars here, relatively speaking.
-Lots of girls, several colleges, chicks come here for jobs, etc.
-Metro is great. I don't drive anywhere, so traffic (see below) doesn't affect me.


Cons:
-Fall and very early spring are the only acceptable times of year, in terms of temp/humidity. Summer is Jurassic hot and winter is just cold enough to keep you inside.
-Less to do than NYC/LA/Miami
-It's expensive as fuck to live anywhere worth living.
-Traffic is absurd.


I'm from here (Bethesda, originally), so I'm used to all of it. Seems like everyone else who lives here moved from Richmond or somewhere. I worked at a 40 person company in NoVA and I was the only DC local.


I like it. The only place I'd consider moving is SF, because it's no more expensive but has better weather.

[ronmcdon]

Where is SF? San Fransisco?

[ayuaddict]

I guess technically SF is in San Fransisco.

[ronmcdon]

that's what baffles me.
why would anyone want to move to San Francisco because of the weather?
it's dark, windy & miserable there pretty much most of the year.
don't recall having more than a month of sunshine each year, when I lived there '98-'00

SF can also stand for other places like Santa Fe.
Just didn't want to presume.

[turtl631]

This was like 90% california.

Yeah, meant San Fran, should have clarified. I've only been there once and it was nice the whole time, but I admittedly have no other exposure. I was there in late September.

So add something.
