Don't get me wrong, in the PNW like Seattle, June through August is one of the best places around. Yes, you get a FEW short months of sun, but that's it. The other 9 months are painful.

Too hot in other areas? Hang out with the AC on or heat on. At least 6-7 months of the year are good.

Nothing cheap here.

How many states have you traveled to and lived in? You speak as if you've been all over and lived in many different places.

Sure, but I'd like to go outside and experience the summer months, you know? I'm essentially inside 95% of the time during June/July/August because its just so disgusting out.

BRB outside 10 minutes and already sweating buckets. No thx Jeff.

Time to go NC.

There was a girl born and raised in Michigan that I worked with, who was in charge of her aunt's estate in San Francisco. She had to fly out there to sell her house after her death. It was barely 1,000 SF and this was back in the early 2000's. The real estate agent told her it was priced for a "quick sale" at over $600K. That blew her mind. But sure enough, in the few days she was out there taking care of business, it sold.

He's got some cope going on, no doubt. Some truth to what he says, but definitely tons of cope.

lol did you read that article I linked? We are stuck inside for 9 months of the year and most of us suffer from at least moderate SAD srs. Also, when the weather is nice, have fun trying to find any activity that isn't completely PACKED. I have pretty much given up on hiking since I don't want to park 6 miles away from the trailhead and walk single file all the way up and back.

Don't get me wrong, there are a lot of great things about living here, but I wish we could go back to when houses were 1/3 the price of California.

a bit of an underestimate for the NY home. probably closer to $800

This is where you and I differ. When I was in Michigan I found the summer months unbearable. We went thru brutal winters and the summer was only a short period of time. I never learned to deal with heat under those conditions, even though I came from much hotter conditions (southern Virginia). For me personally, the best thing that happened to me was moving to Louisiana. Then it was warm/hot almost year round, so I learned how to deal with it.

But when I was in Michigan, virtually none of the weather was enjoyable. It was cold most of the time, and when it was finally warm it was such a short period of time that my body couldn't adjust to it. We are talking about a situation where there was still snow piled up in Meijer's parking lot in early May. And my first year in Michigan, it snowed in September. That's a crazy short timeline of warm weather to adjust to.

TFW most homes here in Canada BC are closing in 700k US~

BRB Not as bad as NYC

I will never understand why anyone wants to pay that to live in a city that has been overtaken by wealthy chinese. Chitbox houses aren't $700k because they're amazing, they're $700k because corrupt, wealthy foreigners are trying to protect their sweat shop money. Yet, working class *******s still refuse to move anywhere else. WHY?

Biggest/longest running scam in America

I heard a comedian talking about SAD a few months back. He said his doctor prescribed excercise to help. So he bought a Nike jump rope. He said it was an interesting dynamic. Here he is depressed as fook, and he's got a box with a rope in it that says "just do it!" LOL

The packed activities you talk about is why I love living in the south. Since the weather is so good year round, you don't have to fight people when the weather is at its best. You can imagine all of the upside to it. What's interesting is the downside. In Michigan, the good weather is so short, that the golf courses are frickin magazine cover ready once you get on them. Its absolutely incredible. But they get to spend months prepping them and getting ready for a 3-4 month peak, so its different than being in the south when you can golf for 10-11 months out of the year. I go to the Parade of Homes every year wherever I'm at, and I can't even describe how off the charts beautiful one home was back in the mid-2000's overlooking a golf course in Michigan. It was a little over $300K back then and I guarantee you most people will never have a view like that out of their back porch.

NYC.

Living in a closet.

Where will we work bruh.

Not exactly a lot of jobs in the interior BC...

Plus we have millions of liberal ****s who want that "city life"

Blows my mind. I had a house in Louisiana that backed up to the woods (aka total privacy even if you wanted to walk around the back yard naked) that was 3,000 SF...had a sunroom...had TWO kitchens, two laundry rooms and two living rooms...had a circle drive AND boat cover/car port on the side of a two car garage...and it cost me in the 200k range. It was a little out of the way when I bought it, because it cost me an extra 20-30 minutes in drive time to get to work. But it was worth it.

Would rather be anywhere else and be a miner or some chit than spend my life in poverty and house-cucked by Wang.

I'd kill to live in NC, has goat climate imo. Summer highs are in the 90s, cooler spring and fall, then a little bit of snow in winter but nothing brutal. TX is 100-110s with max humidity during july and aug, there are no seasons, just gets a bit cold for a month or 2 and then you get sunburned in March.

I agree luckily my job allows me to still be in the running. My best friend just had to pack up and move - just couldn't afford it. But his job can be done anywhere.


If I gave my job up I'd lose more than gaining by moving. Srs

All this makes me glad I left NYC.

The only thing worse than the smell and politics, well and the illegals, is the housing market. I lived in Queens too, yet still paid out of the ass.

Now I can drive my car to work, not take the 7 train and be surrounded by people who are too ignorant to learn English and get government benefits without being citizens.

You might be the first person to ever say this

Drove cross country last year from DC to LA, and told myself I'd be perfectly content with a plot of land in the wilderness of New Mexico or Arizona. Have a helicopter for going to the nearest airport, and make a monthly or bi-monthly trip to the nearest Costco, and load up on supplies.

I'm really starting to hate people, seems like with technology making everything easier, people have seemingly de-evolved when it comes to human to human interaction.

Yea, it's not bad though. I can drive 3 hours east and be at the ocean or 3 hours west and be deep in the mountains. I have land near the TN/NC border. We went there 3 weekends ago. It was 72 degrees at my house, it was snowing when I got to my land.

You've apparently never been to Research Triangle, The Outer Banks, or the Biltmore/Asheville.

Texas housing is getting more expensive ever year is what I am noticing, but the market is burning up here.

Like the other guy said, one side you have mountains, the other side has beaches. I'n the middle lush land, forests and lakes. House prices are decent, got history and enough republicans live there to make it go red.I just got my first house at the edge of the city. Gonna buy land a bit further out from there and eventually build my dream house where I grow most of my own food and rarely venture into town except to get to work or entertainment. There's a sense of peace that comes when you have space and get away from densely populated areas. I couldn't be happy being a newyorker living in small apartment for thousands a month even if you have everything at your doorstep.

You can thank the chinese brah. Exact same thing here in Vancouver lol. They are literally a cancer here.
