"no matter where you go, there you are" - it means if you're not happy, changing your location won't do much.
LA is a tough pill to swallow but if you like cars - there is no better place period.

I really want to move to New Hampshire. The winters there are beautiful. The people are super nice, and the cost of land is obnoxiously cheap.
My friend has a 3 bedroom house w/ a 2 car garage and a huge backyard out there. He only pays 800 a month to rent. It makes no sense to live here with those kind of prices. If that is the price to rent, imagine how cheap it would be to own land there.

I've lived in San Jose, San Francisco, New York City, and Boston. I've travelled pretty extensively too. Each place has its pros and cons.
For me, I'm in SoCal because family (both nuclear and extdended) are here, and because I like to be outdoors (putting on three layers of clothing for a run, then learning how to run in freezing temps through ice isn't fun). Also the job market here is better for me. Others really like the winters (I do miss fall colors from back east), and some of the great people. It all kinda depends on what is important for people...

I've thought about it many times. People do seem nicer away from Socal from what I've seen and there aren't so many reckless drivers. As mentioned above, there aren't many other places where you can get somewhat consistent weather throughout the year, but I'd much rather live in a place where people aren't so rude and obnoxious.

Even with the downturn in home prices here, you can still sell your house and pay CASH for something beautiful somewhere else with some real land around and STILL have some $$ left over.......
But damn.......the weather here.............

If I was more financially set, I would move me and my girl there in a heartbeat. I dont feel comfortable about the hoodies in this area anymore. You risk getting shot for a parking spot at your local mall
Personally, I want to raise Kailey where people actually acknowledge each other and say hi when you smile at them.

im not talking about moving to another huge city. cities=congestion and stress
im talkin about the end of the world, Invercargall, NZ-ish. somewhere with great driving roads, internet, king women who aren't complete gold diggers, etc
what makes a house here worth 1.5 mill?
i used to think that all the nice cars here was great, but ill admit a personal fault. i love the S bigtime, but when u see a ferrari, lambo, 991 turbo, sl65 all in the span of 10 mins, daily, i start to feel like a loser. human nature blows.
