South Florida BLOWS

No.
I live in Laredo, Texas, which I consider to be a temporary Purgatory for my previous sins, as well as a crucible in which the Lord will finish forming me. After that, I hope to settle in the Four Corners area. Nothing like that anywhere in the country. The only restrictive aspect is work, and the Lord will take care of that for me, too.

Heck yeah, I evacuated from the Peoples Republic of Kalifornistan last year. Oregon kicks ass.

Amen! Crowded, dank as an armpit, and simply oozing with a Spanish culture which is NOT the one I grew up in. Best thing I ever did was GTF outta there last summer.

No.
I want to be in North GA or East TN, but I consider North FL a temporary exile, with it's only redeeming point being awesome gun laws. |

Tucson, AZ.
No hurricanes, no earthquakes, no mudslides (unless you live in a wash), not much risk of brushfires, damned few tornados, flooding is VERY, VERY rare (unless you live in a wash), not too many bugs (though what there are STING), it's just HOT for six or seven months. Yeah, I like it here. |

I live in NE CT. The weather is good (it could be colder, however), I like the terrain (very hilly, no mountains), and I have deep family roots here.
The gun laws were fantastic until 1993. I don't know where I'd go if I moved. Perhaps either Maine or South Carolina. I hate the heat, though. |

Live in KC.
Wanna move to Western Montana or Idaho. I fell in love when we visited Yellowstone. South Dakota would be cool too. 40-70 acers and a small house would make me a happy man. Tough part is having a job there. |

I love where I live right now. I lived here in Oregon most of my life, but I do like it much better out here in eastern oregon than anywhere else (I grew up around LaPine/Bend - GREAT for fishing, but not much else).
Got a good job out here too, and I get to work up in Joseph oregon a couple of days a week. On my lunchbreaks I go up to wallowa lake and fish from the bank. Good times

Grand Forks, ND.
Overall, yes. Professionally, this is not the most challenging place to work, but it is a great place to raise a family. Good schools, good neighborhoods, low cost-of-living, reasonable taxes and the local government generally keeps its nose out of your business. |

I live in Illinois. So absolutely I want to move somewhere else. I want to be able to own class 3 stuff, I want to be able to go to a STATE range to fire my rifles and pistols, and most of all, I want to be able to hunt deer with a rifle.
I keep telling myself "35 more years and I can move out of here." Thats how long till I can collect 70% of my pension and retire. Then I'm heading west, buying some peice of ungodly, unihabitable peice of land where I can shoot, hunt, fish, and no one will ever bother me. |

I love where I am living. I moved from NW Ohio/ MI border 9 years ago. I visit that area enough to appreciate where I am now.
Yea, it's a border town, it has its issues. But, you can not beat the weather, the latin women, the food, the overall hospitality of the town, its geographical location to other great places, outdoors, open ranges, etc. |

I lived in Jacksonville for three years (1992-1995). LOVED the place. Then I went back in 2002. I was STUNNED at just how completely to shit the place had gone. 50 years? Try 10.

I live in Kolumbus, Ohio Franklin Co. I HATE this place! If I didn’t a good job I would sell my house in a second. I pay more taxes on my 50’X100’ lot than my parents pay for 2 acres two counties away. Kolumbus is taking away semi-auto rifles by registration but never allowing them to be transferred after 11/16/05. The schools here are terrible. The roads suck and traffic is on raindrop/snowflake from chaos.
They just raised my houses appraisal for tax purposes by $20K but that is not what houses in my are selling for but tough for me. Did I mention that I hate this place. I need to go one county in any direction to be much better off, I need to start looking at houses.

Actually, I'm on it every day and I love it. Always new restaurants and stores to discover, the people are very friendly, and I can't wait till winter when it never gets under 50 degrees, as opposed to the mountains where we froze our asses off and it was gloomy all the time. The wife is in heaven as well, as she's from Miami and really missed Florida the past 8 years. |

Well one good thing is there is the local machine gun shoot tomarrow at Hernando Sportsmans Club! www.hernandosportsmansclub.com/events/machinegun.htm Anyway I am glad you like it, I however am fed up with it (it is worse than pasco down here) I was born and raised here and I remember when my family knew everone in town, and when it was nothing but orange groves. Now almost everyone we knew has bailed out(they were replaced by yankee assholes) and it is nothing but neighborhoods now.

Outside of the fact that I am in Commieland, I am relatively comfortable here, and my family is here. There are a few place that I would like to move to but not without a pile of cash. I want a good job and a nice spread of land, and none of the places I would rather be can offer both. I am gonna hang in there until I retire and can live without a job.
