NC is really cheap (other than living in immediate Raleigh area). I live comfortably off my retirement and my wife's job.

[boomer62]

NY a ripoff as is NJ

you get fukked with taxes and utility bills

Sourhead grow some fukkin balls man send me nudes of your girl and lets got to Vegas

Its all relative, wages are much higher here. Go live down south and then let me know your thoughts.

Agree, great place to retire but not raise a family unless you have good work down there. LOVE Wilmington. Great place . If I was to live in NC it would be that area beaches are gorgeous and there are a ton of relocated Yankees in Raleigh area.

C'mon down.

[Dirty Sanchez]

Median house price in my neighborhood is 500k.

Twister....I've got a 4 bdr/3bth/3 car garage/2600 square ft and I didn't pay half that and it was brand new last year

[The Kraken]

You just moved from there, right?

Correct. In addition to everything I said, they're a conservative state which might fit your ideology well. Also, they ironically have a large LGBT population which could also be important to you

Seriously though, although both are true, it's a great state to live in. The term "Southern Hospitality" is the real deal. They have some of the best food trucks around BY FAR. In fact, they created an entire food truck park in downtown OKC to hang out at and watch the Thunder games. Some of the food trucks are very gourmet and run by guys that have competed and done well on the reality TV shows.

Whatever you do, stay away from that dump Los Angeles

Twist,
You mentioned NC. I live in the Hampstead, NC area between Wilmington and Jacksonville. We're 10 minutes from the beach and housing isn't to bad. I bought a 2000 sqft 3BDR, 2 car garage, frog, screened back porch in a golfing community for 180K. Payment is less than 1100/month which includes taxes and insurance. Gas is 2.15/gallon in the area. Weather is mid 90's/70's in summer and 50's/30's in winter. The schools are rated from 7-9 on a scale of 10 (google Topsail school district). We have a few pizza joints in a 10 mile radius (Real pizza, Max's restaurant) besides your Domino's and Pizza Hut. If you are looking for the big sports we have UNC, NC State, Duke and Carolina Hurricanes within a 2 hr drive. The Carolina Panthers more like 3.5 hrs. We have 6-8 golf courses within 30 minutes and Myrtle Beach is 1.5 hrs away. Insurance for both my vehicles runs about 115.00/month (full coverage). Wages in the area aren't the best (8.50-15.00) but if you're running your own business I don't know how much that matters. Hampstead is considered a retirement area and has a high influx of tourist during the summer due to the beaches. I lived in St Louis for 13 years and I'm still a Cardinal fan but would never move back. I enjoy getting up in the morning, going outside looking up in the sky and seeing my Carolina blue.

Exactly the reason I cant stay here. Sounds like you have a nice setup. Good for you brother.

This is what im looking for.

move to seattle so krack can give your republican ass a beating. (he's issued a semi douchey challenge, coming from a guy who's issued the same douchey challenge)

Lol, I think you already know how I feel about the LGBT community. Other than that sounds like a nice place.

Lol...scumbag I think you have potential...but being reasonable should have already been established.

[scumbag]

how do you feel?

they tend to improve area's/value's in my experience.

[scumbag]

i figured you lived in the south already. go texas, florida, NC.

[sourtwist]

Can we keep politics in the proper section? Ill meet you over there later.

Well done

The only exception I have is that it's not a semi douchey challenge, it's a complete sell out douchey challenge

I realize that

But here's the thing scummers, my time here is limited. I'm back at work full time, going to the gym 5 times a week, gotta walk the dogs 3 times a day because we have no yard, traveling back and forth between OKC and SEattle still. Something has to give and it's probably my free time on here because Mrs Kraken is getting fed up with not seeing me much

So if I can get D2D down here and film a fight between us, my time here won't have been a complete waste. I'll feel like JJ would finally validate me. Plus D2D seems like a great guy and we'd probably get into some trouble down here which would be fun.

capiche?

Sour, meet me in OKC this weekend and I'll show you the town and a few of our rent houses, 10% off for any SBR poster wanting to rent it. Could change your life forever pal

[scumbag]

NC is pretty great from what ive heard. ive also read some pretty disturbing shit regarding the Koch brothers fcking up those great public schools they have. but maybe thats what you want, you're kid hearing some 'revised history' about what libertarian hero's the FF's were, and how there was never 'civil disobedience', etc.

[tony_come]

Hands down

Las Vegas

[sourtwist]

Tony is that the first time your post was longer than two words?

for sure, i feel ya, hope to see one of these pan out. i like the whole 'republican' angle too. im a pretty nice guy, i need a reason to hurt someone, even if he's a reasonable dude, if i could equate him to a buffoonish republican, simpleton type, it would make it easier to throw him a brutal beating.

or else you'd have to let them punch you first... thus giving you the necessary anger to destroy them. i need that hate to fight, im not just a 'scrapper'.

[scumbag]

Hands down

Las Vegas

c'mon bro. i live here, i would suggest 5000 other places first. he's got a family?? i think he said?

[tony_come]

Which area do you live in?

[tony_come]

I'm talking about the cost of living here +even money

God I wish just one would show up. Opie can afford the flight here, maybe Payton is a republican. LGR is an oyster plus he's broke from decades of voting against his own personal interest.

But alas, if no rethuglican wants to show up, D2D is as good as they come! Maybe he's secretly a closet R :P

[Monitor-Tan]

I'm actually going ot be moving out of NY here in a month or 2 as well.

Should look into Columbus, OH

They have great restaurants, and the population is pretty healthy as well and cost of living is really cheap compared to the population ratio.

[scumbag]

i keep it soooooooooooooooo hooooooooooooooooooooooood. semi NW, $600 for a clean 2 bedroom in a 4 plex. neighborhood is shit, but i've never had any problems (as far as robbed or shit stolen) i fought a couple drunk shines once, but that was because i was doing my 1am hour walk and one of them made some crack about some 'fat white boy', they were a little mistaken, although i was at my 'fattest' at that point, i tried to walk away, just couldn't, turned around and said, "which one of you nig.gers is getting their nose broke." it was on...

mostly blacks and working class mexicans, few white trash types here and there.

for a single dude, im fine with it. although i admit, these high end apartment complex's are fcking dope. but the same place would cost me 1200+. so i keep it hood. i've balled before. that's so 'early 20's'.

[scumbag]

college towns are usually great.

[sourtwist]

What part of ny are you leaving and what made you choose Colombus?

[sourtwist]

College towns are def great. Nc is def my initial lean.

Love Wilmington . Like I said it is all relative due to wages. Ave per capita income in NC is under 35k where in the tri state it is almost double. The job opportunities are also far less but can live comfortable if you can earn a decent wage. Nice weather and great beaches but very humid summers.

[jjgold]

Space overrated as far as house
Most people use 30-40% tops of the house

NC not bad .. People ok

Not much gaming close though

[burrissa]

JJ I agree. The closest is a gaming boat cruise out of Myrtle Beach or a trip to Cherokee in the western part of the state.

[Monitor-Tan]

Raleigh is a good place in NC, a lot of colleges in Raleigh a friend of mine lives there I liked it, might want to check out Raleigh as well if you are looking into NC while you are at it.

My wife's family lives in Columbus so I can say I know the place fairly well since I visit there a few times a year.

Too many reasons to leave NY for me.

[boomer62]

That's what I'm talking about. Tri state area loaded with everything and entertainment, lots of casinos and race tracks, multiple pro sports teams and a ton of concerts all year round.
