Thank You (Boston, Florida, Worth: schools, earthquakes, inspections)

[GCGuy]

I have enjoyed my time this morning on this board, ignoring work, and talking about LI.

It is a great place and I am very pleased to be here...living and working. Does anyone else feel the same as me?

Does anyone have a list of places they WOULD NOT want to move from LI to?

Here's some:

North Carolina
Nevada
Mississippi
Arkansas
North Dakota
Iowa
Arizona
Lousiana

Great thread! I too should be getting some work done, but considering I make a boatload of cash to do not so much, I have the time to post.

So let's see (not in any particular order):
North Carolina
Arizona
PA
Nevada
South Carolina
Fla

Amongst almost every other state.

I do like MA (Boston area) a lot though, but don't feel it has much more to offer than LI. What I like is it reminds me of LI.

I sense sarcasm...the Mod's lurk...

Hi Glad! I'm envious. Can I send you my resume?

I would love to help a fellow LIer out, but no other positions available.

No land locked state, that's a good way to put it. And no to any state the ILs live in....haha!

Even though I moved from LI, I would like to answer. When I lived on LI I would not move to:

Las Vegas (we already looked and it wasn't for us)
Colorado (don't like the weather)
NYC(like suburbs for raising a family)
Florida (too hot, not impressed with schools)
California (earthquakes, expensive)

These are the states I have spent some time in, and didn't like to live.
I hate the cold, so any other state that gets very cold would not make me happy. Anywhere else I would give a try if I had too and it made financial sense.

What was your impression of the Vegas suburbs? Just curious if you had completed any research on the schools, the sense of the community (was it too transient?), etc...

States not for me:
Florida - too hot
Texas - this is only based on a half dozen business trips, but I did not enjoy the Houston and/or Fort Worth areas that I visited. Limited exposure though.
AZ - see Florida (I stepped off the plane in July and my eyeballs were sweating)

Otherwise, who knows where life might lead...

Not for me:

Any place that I cannot enjoy the great outdoors year round. 5 months of winter really kills me!!
