In response to our fashionably late friend Mr. Murphy:
According to a website called bestplaces.net - property taxes in Iowa City are lower (at $12.76 per 1k of home's value) than they are in Cedar Rapids ($13.26 per 1k of home's value) which is shocking. Does anybody know this to be true? I'm all for high property tax in the city of C.R. - I live here - if the city were actually doing something visable with the money to aid in the development of the community, aesthetically, economically, whatever. Woodwardgirl, you've lived in both places; is this the case? |

ok for one thing south and south eastern iowa is very good, it is quiet and stuff. i live here and love it. everyone is friendly and acceptiong. (just dont go into bad neighbor hoods in bigger citys, but that is same for everywhere.) iowa city is good, burlington is ok too, mt. pleaseant eh, it has a crappy hospital with horrid service. when i was in kindergarten i dislocated/fractured my arm and waited for 3 hours to be seen by a doctor, and we were the only ones in the er. so yea. iowa city has university and mercy, and veterans, all great. burlington has great river, dont really know bout it, never gone there except for first grade field trip. though burlington is kinda sucky in a way,. yea just dont go there really. but SE IOWA RULES.

GABoy - First, thank you for the service and sacrifice you are making on behalf of us all. We sincerely appreciate it.
You should be able to find alot of opportunities in your field so don't pass up the smaller communities. Franklin County's REC and Corn Belt Electric are also good places to consider, as are living in any of their communities. Good people, attractive and very affordable places to live, local small town festivals and other fun stuff is just a short roadtrip away. Irregardless of which community in Iowa, you're making a good choice with Iowa. |

first THANK YOU!!! second not all of us Iowans are ignorant in thinking a way lame reason for your name (I figured it out right away) third if your wife wants to advance in the nursing field UIHC is the hospital to go to. but you don't have to live in Iowa city to do that. you can live in one of the many small towns that surround IC. the U might also offer a position in your field too check it out The University of Iowa The schools rock in Iowa we are consistently in the top 10 for best education sytem Also FYI, I think that a former soldier form Iraq/current student started a 'support' group for soldiers like you in Iowa City |

Hmmm.... just happened to decide to read this post. I found some (not all) of the replies to be rather insulting rather than helpful. No wonder he hasn't returned. I hope this isn't an example of Iowa's hospitality.

He hasn't returned because the same message was cross-posted on to several other state's forums. I think he got some pretty good responses considering his original post was a cut and paste job, inserting "Iowa" in the appropriate spots. |

I honestly do think he got some pretty good responses, but I don't believe it should really matter if he was doing a cut and paste job. Many people are interested in more than one area of the U.S., and he may be trying to get a feel for what would be the best place for him. There is nothing wrong with asking the same questions in different places. I can think of many places I might be interested in moving to, and would want to get feedback on all of them- that is not a crime.
