    Wilkes Barre can be a rough place. Hazleton was very quiet up until about 10 years ago. Very little crime. Now, a murder a week. lol.

    Where did you live before

    We'll see if Dante wants to meet up on a Fri. Maybe do the seafood buffet or maybe the steak house, which I've never been to. I was elite, until I stopped going after I hit. It really is the place to be anymore if you are young and single. I just turned 35, married, young son, but love the atmosphere there.

    How about back to the topic!
    LA or SD? Those two places sound great for weather, fresh veggies and fruit. Who would want to have unmerciful heat and cold, cold winters? I've had it with both in Southern Indiana.

    Tell me some good news about the LA regions?

    Yes this is all true. Do you live there? Wouldn't be a bad deal, they really treat their own like kings. But, we would be outsiders, still would be a great life thought.

    Athens, Georgia was a fun weekend for me a few years ago. I looked at real estate/rent prices and they were pretty cheap, cheapest I've seen for a college town.


    edit: Nashville is making a comeback too.

    You heard wrong. North Carolina sucks. No one should move here. The weather is terrible. There is no spring or fall. Our only two seasons are cold/wet and hot/humid. We're all dumb rednecks. We hate black people and Mexicans. Our women are fat and ugly and don't shave their pits. All our food is fried and greasy. There are no jobs and the entire state smells like hog manure. There's no reason to move here. Ever. If you must move south, move to Florida. Or Georgia. All those magazines that rated Raleigh the best place to live were bribed by our commerce department. It's a lie. A huge lie. Stay away. Nothing to see here.

    So.Nevada is a desert. You'll avoid the sun like the plague. Also, Nashville, in winter, is also colder than hell!

    If you can stand the heat, maybe Arizona, it will get you out of the cold but summers could be brutal although you get used to them.

    SF is just too expensive and who wants to cross the bridge to live in Oakland ? Always 50-70 degrees would be OK, but I'd prefer SD weather.

    To me, although I have never lived there, LA seems to have much more to offer than SD. [being retired!]
    They have those mountains and National Parks in close vicinity. SD has the Zoo.
    LA has multiple sports options, too.
    Also, isn't SD too close to the Mex. border? { drugs and illegals]

    SD and LA are only 100 miles apart. SD is like an hour from the border, if that. SD is a big city with plenty to do, LA is of course bigger. You can also easily get to LA from SD. Traffic and smog are worse in LA, and gangs. SD is better, IMO.

    There will be tons of illegal aliens anywhere in the Southwest, no real difference between SD, LA, LV, Phoenix, Texas cities, etc.
