    There are another half dozen states where that's the case. TX, FL, NH, WA to name a few. Def a cost save for someone with retirement income.

    Pro: No state income tax, Cheap cost of living, Solid entertainment and restaurants options.

    Cons: Hot as hell most of the year, Will run out of water, not much industry unless it is gambling or hospitality, high crime, Litter and lost Souls everywhere.

    Lived most of my days n jersey heroin is REALLY making a comeback and that has all the junkies hittin the burbs. Couple of friends in law enforcement say the drugs are real cheap and as pure as NYC in the 70's. Like to inhale cannabis now and then ( uh for a bad back, yea that's it) but that stuff and all it brings is scary. Not much future in that ...paying 1400 per for. 2 bedroom now with breathable air included and that's that

    Lots of Mexicans with baseball cards.

    Hot and dry. Will have to blow the blood out of your nose every day.

    Free buffets and giveaways with Fishhead.

    Don't have to do much lawn work.

    Several places to play cards if that's your thing.

    low class city
    everyone broke
    uneducated city
    housing cheaper only because salaries low
    food is same as everywhere else

    Its a lost City and not a good place to retire...tons and tons of better places

    Retire in Florida. No state tax. Warm. Beaches. Bitches. Golf. Fishing. Casinos. Everything Vegas has without the misery.

    Awesome, I'm Hispanic and own some baseball cards. I have an uncle and some family that live there. Also, online poker is legal there; can't beat that.

    All that's missing is Craps and a sportbook; then again can catch a cruise for Craps
