You are just like me here in California where the people that rents their place have seen a spike in rent and cannot afford to living in the Golden state anymore because of the high cost of living and renting. It's sad to see that most of the good and loyal people that have been native Californians are forced to become homeless or have to move to a more affordable state / city to just survive in our country.

Good afternoon everyone. First of all, I am retiring next month in April and I will be taking a road trip up to Eugene. OR to check out the city and the availability of housing there as well. Can you tell me if Eugene has things to do like here in San Francisco?

Coming from California because I think your city is beautiful and affordable compared to where I live now. Retiring and can't keep up with the pace and cost of living in Calif.
It's ridiculous here. I hope we are welcome there...beginning to think we may not be?
Every time I have visited everyone has been so kind. Now I am concerned.

Wow that sounds incredible to be honest. $1500 for a 3 bedroom? I live in L.A Proper and rent is usually around 1700 for a 450 sq/f studio. One bedroom's easily pushing $2100.

Re: 21 Things You Need to Know Before Moving to Lubbock, TX

It's a safe place, I think it's rated number 2 of one of the safest places to live in the Nation. Also you have the major surrounding cities like Allen, Frisco, Plano Dallas etc. So there is a lot of places to go. McKinney itself is a small city, but the streets are pretty good. The people are great, no one's too proud or negative, from what I have encountered. Of course be safe, and cautious I don't believe everyone is a chill person lol. Lots of people go to the park and exercise, walk the dog, go on hikes, fish, etc. I think you would like living there. I like it. Also, I don't know if religion is your thing, but there are a lot of churches. Don't worry I haven't been bothered by anyone to join there church since moving there lol. I don't know if this is good info, but it's just my experience.

Hi , I am thinking of relocating from the UK to Orlando (due to work). Any suggestions for neighbourhoods - ideally somewhere with golf, easy to the airport and perhaps gated . Is Lake Nona the best option ?

Re: Is Your State a Land of Hippies or Is it Full of Squares?

It's just you... but no worries, the info isn't presented clearly. You mentioned the "number of communes" in the table. The table isn't saying that Oregon has 3 communes; it's saying that Oregon ranks 3rd in the number of communes per capita in the state. Similarly, Texas ranks 49th... it does not have 49 communes per capita.

You want a solution to that problem. In Oregon it's called LOGGING, you know where you cut down trees, transport them to a lumber mill and convert that into lumber to sell. Oregon has the MOST evergreen trees of ANY state in the union, including Alaska. Too bad that the liberal hippies and their ilk have taken over the state and federal government and shut that industry down.

Re: 35 Things You Should Know Before Moving to Washington State

Buffalo Bill — Fri, 22 Apr 2016 10:27:14 -0000

Thanks for your warning about the people allowing their dogs to bark .
That is something very important to me. QUIET!!!!
I am moving now because of the Puerto Rican asshole next door who allows his dog to bark non stop when he isn't home.
That is something which can cause some to lose it !!!!
So together with the posts about thieves abounding and dogs barking,,,,I actually am taking these remarks to heart.
You have taken the time to write about it so it is true, and bothers you enough to warn others.
Thank YOU!!!
Washington State--no thanks !! I get the message...
Hillbilly hicks, dogs barking, thievery rampant
low employment.
I will keep searching for another place to move.

Thanks for your posting as you have saved me alot of time and money.
I won't be moving to Washington because I don't need a repeat of the stress I encountered living where thieves abound.

So it looks like you have answered my question ( posted above).

People will steal anything that isn't bolted down huh?
Sounds like Miami where the Cubans will steal anything and everything.
I am thinking about moving to Wash. But no way do I want to worry about having everything stolen.
It will remind me of living in Miami and Costa Rica where thieves abound.
Too much stress

What kind of home will $70k buy me? I am searching for a cabin type with some land and on a river would be the dream location.
Also is it really that dreary living there?
The mountains look beautiful

Buffalo Bill — Fri, 22 Apr 2016 10:12:24 -0000

I read on this page that Washington has the highest theft rate of most states. So I am going to have to worry about break ins if I move there?

Re: 34 Things to Know Before Moving to Austin, Texas

Lauren O. — Thu, 21 Apr 2016 19:47:38 -0000

You do realize it's UT right? University of Texas... Also, most of the liberal people in Austin are not pro-life and don't hate gays, minorities, or poor people. Austin has an interesting blend of liberals and conservatives. Yes some people are pompous and bigoted. You have painted the city with a broad brush. Most Austinites don't hate Californians, they hate that so many people from California have moved to the city making it grow quickly.

There are tons of food trailer parks. Just because one of the original ones got shut down doesn't mean there aren't a ton of other ones.
