Thx for the advice guys.

There will be a cost of living raise. Otherwise it wouldn't be affordable for us.

In lieu of this thread, I'm strongly leaning towards Seattle. Not sure how I would react to getting 6 chips with my queso. Here in in Oklahoma and down in Texas , we take out Tex-Mex very seriously.

I'll know for sure where by Sept 5th.

I won't miss the tornadoes. Nor the sub zero winters. Or 60+ straight days of 100 degree weather.

But there will be a lot here I do miss. Oklahoma is a great place that is only getting better. Highly recommended for anyone needing a nice place to live on a budget. Just get a storm cellar

Be careful Crack. Even the emotionally strongest middle american can be broken by either coast.

More are buried on the east coast though...

I would go Seattle. Was offered a gig in San Fran a few years back and did a little research. Not my kind of city. Wasn't it twain who said the coldest winter I ever lived was the Summer I spent in San Francisco? Know others love that city and obviously won't be warmer in Seattle but the PAC northwest would be my pick over San Fran.

Congrats either way kraken!!

My in-laws live in Seattle and we have a new nephew and my wife has a god daughter in Seattle, so needless to say, Seattle is chalk right now. Interestingly, this job hunt started some months ago and we ultimately narrowed it down to only SF and found an ideal position. Well, an almost identical job came open in Seattle and I told her about it and she instantly lit up. I knew then Seattle was the favorite. But we both LOVE SF as well and the $$$ is better, even after factoring in cost of living.

Don't believe a word from this guy

Total ghost / troll

Total irony. You're the one trolling my thread

Good luck with law school Deemer.

One of the wive's daughters lives in Seattle. Waayyyyy expensive but she loves it. Property values are insane. Her hubby is pulling in 100-150 and they can only rent a house. She is though, a tattooed, fake tittied, over emotional, left of Pelosi, chick that makes Sybil look well balanced.

VERY expensive. Both cities. And we're forced to live downtown in both. On one hand, I dread it. I'm used to an acreage and affordable mortgage. Both will be sacrificed. On the other hand, deep down,I've always wanted to live in a big city where I can walk/bike everywhere. We can go down to one car (4WD Z71 ) and use public transportation. For some reason, that appeals to me as well. Honestly, the biggest sacrifice I may make moving to CA is giving up my guns. I've heard the gun laws there are insane and I'm a bit of a gun nut.

Also, if we do choose Seattle, I'll need some new friends. If you don't mind PM'ing me the number of the take titted emotional wreck, I'd like to get to know her once or twice

Kracken you will never last there

Rich Cities unless you live very far from City

You may be right JJ. If we choose to rent, we're gonna keep our property here and I guess we can always run back to OKC with our tails tucked if it's too much. If we decide to buy, we have to sell here and then shit gets more real. No more "homebase" to return to.

[The Kraken]

Move to San Fran.

Will be that way either late this year/early next year for work.

We'll grab a few beers and discuss how backward/closed minded conservatives are.

And then hit up some gay clubs together as a couple of non-homo bros.

And SF re-takes the lead...

I can always bring my own bag of Tostitos to dinner

[Big Bear]

Lived in OKC all my life. Recently, I've been offered two jobs, one in SF and one in Seattle. Not sure where we'll be moving but it will be one of those two liberal, pansy ass cities.

And I'm excited as hell.

Regardless, we'd live downtown or very close to it. This will also be very new to me. We're looking at renting for the first 6-12 months and then buying. I'm used to having a few acres, now I'm looking at 2BR apts unreal how expensive it is to live in those cities. Maybe I could get a part time gig here to make ends meet.

Anyways, I realize this is all pretty pointless for you guys but it's a pretty big move for Kraken.

Like KD, I've outgrown the smaller markets

I know San Francisco is expensive for obvious reason...

But i never would have guessed Seattle was expensive???

What makes Seattle expensive? Its not like they have great weather or pretty beaches like California. And it rains a lot there right? Somebody please explain Why Seattle is an expensive place to live???

Bear you have no clue about the world

Your dumb if you do not know why Seattle is tremendously expensive

enlighten me Corbin. So they have good seafood and they are a decent sports town...

but on the other hand St. Louis Missouri is a good sports town and has decent BBQ and i have a friend in
St. Louis who always brags about how cheap St. Louis is.

Anyway fellas I wasnt even going to post today but i am very curious about Seattle after reading this thread and I am very curious as to why its even remotely as expensive as San Francisco?

[stealthyburrito]

st. louis is murder central.

seattle one of the most affluent, well-educated cities in the country and have many big tech businesses in and around it.

Kraker I would definitely pay you a visit if you lived in SF.

[jjgold]

San Fran a great place but most people cannot afford it

Crackin you're going into the big time

[opie1988]

Both cities infested with libtard jews.

Pass.

Don't forget the Asians and gays.

[Big Bear]

why would somebodys politcal view matter Opie?

its not like you would be speaking to anyone outside of your immediate family and friends if you lived there...

and as a straight male you should wish more guys were gay b/c that gives you less competition when looking for hoez.

If every dude in the world was gay except you then you could land kate upton.

[Big Bear]

and asians are good to have around too bc they have small penises thus making you a more attractive option for the ladies.

[I/O]

Will do Kraker

It's your funeral

[TwoWays]

U can't represent Oklahoma properly from sf. I suggest living in nearby east Oakland. It is less expensive. And the people their are nice and diverse.

Honestly, Seattle downtown is a penetrating hole. Homeless bums everywhere, there is a lot of aggressive panhandling. It stinks of bum urine. They just elected a socialist city council member, drugs every fking where. There is a lot of drug violence. If you choose Seattle, you don't want to live downtown, unless you happen to be a meth dealer.

[TheMoneyShot]

Good luck Krak. My brother moved to San Francisco for 4 years... higher wage... but everything else was expensive. Told me he had no other choice but to leave. He said it was a nice experience though.

[Ralphie Halves]

SF and Seattle never gets too hot or too cold.

Both are tech meccas that have brought in a lot of new money.

Lots to do

Dangerous minorities kept in check for the most part.

Expensive

[ByeShea]

Normal, non-gay people.

Sorry, opus, but your white trash is showing. Tea is tea. Iced tea is iced tea. It's pretty basic.

Wow. Shots fired!


thanks for for the input. Right now I'm trying to soak up all the information I can, good and bad.

If we go with Seattle, we're looking at living in the following areas: Queen Anne, Southlake Union, Ravenna and Woodberg(?) or something like that.
are those areas considered downtown and does your statement apply to all of those areas? Thanks

[The Kraken]

Opie here in Oklahoma I'm considered a libtard. I have a feeling in either SF or Seattle, I'll be considered a racist right wing pig I ain't givin up my guns!


anyone else here live in either city? I've talked with a few different guys on other forums and got good info. Anyone here other than Leah?

[TwoWays]

Opie here in Oklahoma I'm considered a library. I have a feeling in either SF or Seattle, I'll be considered a racist right wing pig I ain't givin up my guns!

Live in Oakland and u can use it

Queen Anne and Southlake Union are fairly close to downtown and have some of the same problems. The farther you get away from downtown the better. It will cost more, but you sure as hell don't want to live in downtown proper. If you can afford to live a good distant away from downtown, there are a lot of really nice areas although you will still have a small percentage of the same BS from downtown. I guess there is some of that everywhere nowadays though. Downtown is really beautiful at Christmas time, there is a lot going on, the lights are really nice, a lot of nice shopping, thousands and thousands of people out every night unless its gets real cold which is rare. Westlake park and just about every park downtown is nothing but a homeless encampment. The downtown library is disgusting as its nothing but a homeless/drug transaction hangout. There actually were some pretty regular murders and shootings going on in downtown Seattle for a while. The homeless people live downtown, they sleep everywhere, piss all over the place and if you look like you might have a dollar in your packet they are all over you like the Seahawks defense on the Broncos last February. Sometimes You can actually taste piss in the air when you are downtown. Its just fking disgusting. My advice would be to go to SF or if you pick Seattle, live as far away from downtown as you can possibly afford.

[LeahMichele]

By the way, I live and work in Kirkland

[pavyracer]

Both cities suck but between the two evils I'd pick SF. Best place to live right now is Atlanta second to none.

[Chi_archie]

Kraker, sometimes I think i'm ready for a change of scenery too

pm me a price for your old house in OK City I'll throw in a year's worth of points too

[The Giant]

Kraken is one of my favorite posters.

I have him ranked just below Seaweed and just above Big Bear on my SBR Big Board of posters.

This guy obviously has pull around here since this shitty thread managed to avoid being Salooned hours ago. The choice is simple, you belong in Seattle. The reason: Being a Thunder fan you should see where your underachieving team got their start.

Good luck to you and your beautiful wife. My PM is always available for nudes (of you, not your wife)

[The Kraken]

Thx for the kind words, Giant.

Indeed, this is a shitty thread. But a useful one for a few reasons.

First, I'm gathering great intel about a city I'm potentially moving to. This information is priceless. I do not want my new KD's getting pissed on by some bum in downtown Seattle.

Second , it's a power play. What's that you ask? It's exactly as you described, creating a terrible thread in PT, non-sports related just to show that it won't get moved.

Most power posters have one,

Opie can get anyone banned for any reason. I was banned 3 days last year after I supported the boycott against Chick-Fil-A. I was also banned for a week after placing a bet on OU for bedlam.

Stealthy posted a picture of his rooster last year. It was stickied for a month. Easy access for Shari I assumed. It was a nice rooster. I was likely responsible for half the thread views, Shari the other half .

Chi-Archie creates a few dozen ghosts a month and openly admits they're his just to piss off the peanut gallery. Pays to be a winner.

Giant I've yet to figure out yours although I'm sure you have one. I know you're part of the Entitled7. Lou told me before he got aids and quit.

So there it is. If you ever need anything posted in PT just let me know

[thechaoz]

Seattle is cool though it sucks being a niners fan lol. Sf great as well. . Better weather
