Best Places to Live???

The good thing about living in the "High Rent District" all my life is that when I get ready to move on, I'll be able to pocket a shitload of money no matter where I go (as long as it's not CA or HI).


That's like saying spending 20 years in the military waiting and waiting when to cash out..


So you are saying to us waste 20 years of your life? No thanks I left high taxed Illinois for the good life when I was 38 years old

San Diego's great. Stop listening to your stupid right wing blowhards about California and you'll be fine in relatively blue SD. Or move to Republican hell, Orange County and shut up.
Unless you are a quadriplegic stuck in your home, Democrats have destroyed the quality of life.

I'm good with living in Md..

I love the seasons, and I'm close to D.C. and Philadelphia for day trips.
We don't have a problem with earthquakes ( like Cali ) and an occasional hurricane brings some excitement. :)

Some of us don't want to work just to pay taxes and do what we are told and shut the **** up.

Hilarious. It's "democrats" fault that everyone and their brother from all over the world wants to live in southern California. Got it. Has nothing to do with the high quality of life, rich culture or year round perfect weather. It's the "democrats" fault.

Again, stop listening to right wing morons. They're rotting your brain.

Who?

There's a very good reason why property values are so high in places like CA and NY and so low in places like Kentucky and Tennessee.

Just sayin'

You need to get out more. I needed to flee Cali before it became trendy. Left Silicon Valley to continue working as an independent consultant. Asked my clients if they cared where I was located. They said it wouldn't make a difference.

So -- we looked for fantastic housing opportunities, great public schools, and good governance. Did a tour of the "SEC school" areas, because I went to an SEC school and remember being impressed with the "neighborhoods" and countryside.

Settled on the south of Nashville area. Got a newer home 3 times the size of our "$1Mill" tract home in Cali that was a half mile from the San Andreas fault, without earthquake insurance. Because the state of Cali had totally fucked up the earthquake insurance market by taking it over. Enrollment went from 70% of homeowners to less than 30% in just 3 or 4 years. Three times the home, Three times the land. 1/2 of the price...

It's BEAUTIFUL, it's well governed, my daughter went to schools that consistently make the top 100 list in the nation. Many of my immediate neighbors are professionals that commute by AIR to jobs all over the country. Along with the massive home offices that they can have here.

I can go dine in 6 languages. Have a Trader Joes. The music scene here is the best in the nation. I live on Chinese food and didn't have to give that up. Get a few "snow days" every winter. And plenty of seasonal change. SO nice -- my lefty, NY Times reading, Democrat worshipping in-laws, saw this place and ABANDONED Milwaukee WI and joined us here in the SAME YEAR.. :lmao:
Love Nashville. Looking for something outside cities because I want land and I don't need to pay more just because jobs are nearby. Now that you are there, what parts of TN are good in your view?

There are only two types of people moving to California now. The few rich elite with money flowing out of their ears, and Pablo who is moving in with 5 other families into the same home.

And yes, it is the fault of Democrats.

Oh, so Pablo can afford those million dollar homes?

Very common for 5 families to move into one home in Calif now. Banks don't care, they'll get the house back if they fail to pay.
Stop being so ignorant. If it's so wonderful why aren't you here?

I wanted more land and a couple donkeys.. :eusa_angel: But the wife was calculating the pick-up to BMW ratio...
You can find land 20 miles outside of Nashville in any direction. There's lake locations, (Hendersonville) river locations (Ashland City), or really green hilly pasture land. Take a google Earth tour and get on and MLS site. Depends on age and preferences.

You can get a fantastic country home on 8 or 10 acres for $350K if you go far enough out..

Other areas we considered that we really liked are the far northern burbs of Atlanta, outskirts of Charlotte, Chattanooga, and Lexington and Paducah Kentucky. Folks in Kentucky are very weird tho about "outsiders". Especially from Cali.. A little more isolated but NICE are Auburn down in 'bama. Or Clemson, SC. I LOVE Savannah, Myrtle Beach, Charleston and some other East coast places, but they've been priced out....

Love California. Beautiful state....maybe the most beautiful...but most typically, liberals f**ked it up. So I will never live there, but will visit occasionally.
 
You're gonna owe me a commission.. I just picked the next county to the East.. (would be too weird to have you as a neighbor :eusa_dance:) Put in $250 to $400K and 1 to 3 acres...

{{pageMeta.$current.og_title}}

Didn't have a search option for acreage.
That kind of stuff is why I'm looking around there, thanks.

Zeroing in on the Shenandoah Valley. Love TN, KY, NC, but after spending time there last week it's saying home to me.
 
15th post
Help me move.
You cannot beat the weather in San Diego County. Multiple sources say it is the best weather on earth. We have every climate zone on earth except two - Arctic and Tropical. And where I live 4 weather zones converge making it the best of the best.

But done with California politics. Democrats have the State imploding and it's time for this born and raised SoCal kid and his wife to jump ship.

So where to go? Need at least a few acres of land. Don't need a job, so don't need a big city nearby. Don't do snow that is not going to melt in a few days. Don't do desert of Arizona or the high humidity of the Gulf coast. I don't do flat, has to be at least hills. Wife doesn't do tornados or hurricanes.

Right now eyeballing the regions of east Kentucky and Tennessee, west half regions of Virginia or North Carolina.

Suggestions would be appreciated. And also why you suggest it.

The further from big cities....

the further from where illegals want to live.....where the rich want to live.....

far far away from anything that has a nightlife ..... omg so far away from that....

that's where I want to live
 
There can be other incentives for moving. While the EPA is nodding-out at the light, McCreary and Pike counties, Kentucky, afford a haven for precisely plants rare or endangered that originally lived there. Ditto for the prairie oaks of the Midwest. If it's 40 acres or more, a wildlife refuge can be legally set up. For example, there is a retired circus-elephant farm in Tennessee, not far from Sandy Hook (see map)..
