Nah the weather sucks... and most Californians cant take it..... did I mention the suicide rate is high here because the weahter is depressing most of the year??? But I love it...I can go sailing in the morning on Admiralty Inlet.. and be hiking in the high country of the North Cascades Wilderness in the afternoon.

Casch 0 #37 May 23, 2007 I absolutely love the Pacific NW and will likely never live anywhere else (by choice). The Portland area is great, you've got skydiving, hiking and bike paths in great parks. You can ski and surf in the same day. The weather is mild all year round with the hottest temperatures in August at around 104. Average temperature is probably low 90's in July/August. The summer season seems to stretch from mid-May to October. There are are a lot of rainy days over the course of a year, but not actually that much rain. There's no risk of hurricane or tornado, and low risk of major flooding. Cost of living isn't high but it isn't necessarily low either. The west coast seems to be a good environment for .com's too.

Darius11 12 #38 May 23, 2007 Western WA was another place that looks awesome the shoreline is pretty. As for California, I love it there and have been there a few times (Southern), the only issue with CA is that it is a lot more expensive then RI. I have a feeling we will be taking alot of trips this year. We love wide open space that is surrounded by nature. If I don’t see another big city for the rest of my life I will be fine with it.

kbordson 8 #40 May 23, 2007 I would LOVE to own land in SD. Remote, in the black hills. Quiet, no crowds. Wonderful cost of living. No state income tax. But... the wind in that area makes jumping less than ideal. So I would also get an apartment in FL or So Cal as well! (Kansas City is fun.... but I probably wouldn't put it on the top of your list.)

yardhippie 0 #41 May 23, 2007 Trying to put myself in your shoes: Id look at Arkansas (no really). Taxes are not bad, most more rural areas you can find homes with 3 bedrooms, 2 baths and a bit (1-2 acres) for around 80,000 - 150,000 depending on location and year of construciton. Lots of streams, rivers, lakes, hiking, state parks. In the late winter and early spring, AR has some wicked kayaking runs. Oh, and most the time it doesnt get too cold. My mom is just outside Waco, there some really great country down there. There are some other places, but they get too cold for my liking.

ryan_d_sucks 0 #45 May 28, 2007 Nashville, Tennessee. Beautifully maintained state with plenty of natural beauty, copious amounts of outdoors recreation, good downtown section with all the pros of a decent sized city without the cons, great cost of living, great weather. I love Nashville, its worth at least a visit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Newbie 0 #46 May 28, 2007 San Francisco is a great city, if you don't mind the occasional earthquake and expensive housing. I fell in love with it when i first visited in 89. Something about the madness of the hills, the interesting architecture and the history of the 60s (not that its alive much anymore). Very compact city, easy to get around and great entertainment/food etc too. Worthy of a visit even if not as a place to settle.
