I do't think there are to many places in the USA that have a lower cost of living than here. My property taxes for all the property and my home are less than $300 a year.... I don't think you can beat it by much......I'm impressed with some of the houses and properties I just looked at online. Wowie! Now I have to hone in on weather, temps, how much is oil and gas, food, etc. This is arduous.
... what an awesome adventure you are getting ready for... congratulations on following your dream.....I live here in Los Angeles, grew up here.. I have traveled most of the US on Business and what I found was, no matter where I went, people are always the same, in fact I used to love traveling and surfing Mexico as the people down there would give you the shirt off their backs and help you if needed, here in LA? lololololol.. Like you said, anywhere you go here, your in someone's way or the other way around.
I once went to NYC on business, I was shocked at Manhattan!! I thought how the F could people live this way lol, like a damn roach motel! They call NYC the Big Apple, I call it the big asshole lol.
I like you D and others just want quiet, to be left alone, I would work my ass off all year long and take 3 weeks every summer and hike the John Muir Trail in the Sierra Mountains, and have now found a place not too far off where I should be able to move too within a year or so!!! I cant wait to LEAVE this city in my rearview mirror and never look back!
I don't know how much they run per foot around here but I do know the housing is quite inexpensive compared to the rest of the country...Yes, the truth is people are the same no matter where you go. I grew up in NYC so it is not weird to me, or at least it didn't used to be. I am no longer used to it. I'm a hermit. I have very few people I talk to or have fun with. Very few. Mark and I are best friends and if we never saw another human it would not be soon enough. Personally, I do not like people all that much. I never did. I don't mean individuals with whom I have established trust or relationships with, including the people I've met here who have befriended me or vice versa. But we dont see each other.
I doubt I could ever live back in NYC, expecially Manhattan of all places. Maybe down by the beach in Brooklyn, where I grew up in Sheepshead Bay. Try to retire and live there. I don't T H I N K so.
I'm looking everywhere. I found houses for between 25 and 3,000 dollars a square foot. I like 25.
High cronic. Thank you.....High Dennise
