That's a hell of a lot better than paying $1,750 a month in rent for years and years to come. Property taxes will be $2,000 a year instead of $8,000. Add all of that up, and we're talking like $18K a year saved in taxes and home payments.

Very good choice... you won't regret it. You can't build wealth without saving money. In CT... and especially FFC you're just spinning your wheels... it's a total rat race. Some people mentioned that it's only the property taxes that are higher but everything else is the same. Not true... CT has 1) a high state income tax, 2) personal property taxes i.e. vehicles and boats get taxed every year (yeah thanks for taxing my depreciating assets... WTF??), 3) high utility rates, 4) some of the most expensive gas in the country, 5) and almost forgot the insanely high real estate property taxes! I don't see how some of you are arguing that the COL isn't that bad there.

You can stay for the going away parties for the major corps leaving.

Now when they do, there will be hundreds more tax accountants for corps to pick from, so Ct salaries for your field will stay flat or even drop.

Fool me once, shame on Nep. Fool me twice, shame on me. I should have known better than to read this thread, where Nep inflicts his indecision on all of us stupid enough to read, taking us on a pointless journey that ends in the same place it began (stagnant in the stagnant state of CT).

Correct, and he'll be complaining about his upstairs neighbors going at it in a few weeks, in an overpriced apartment he hates.

Actually Nep's threads are pretty entertaining. Facts support this.

This thread was getting boring, until Jay, with his math, woke up our sleeping giant.

I got a kick out of OP's claims that Columbus is more "progressive" than FFC.

Another things that jumps at me -- OP says that whatever this Board votes, that's what he'll do. Whoever has been around here, knows better. But that's not the issue for me.

My issue is -- why would Nep rely on a community of faceless unknowns, and not on his family for tossing the tiebreaker? OP's parents have done very well for themselves, reportedly. His younger brothers as well.

Why shouldn't these family members "break this tie" for Nep, rather than us?

Hey Nep if it makes you feel any better I accepted a job offer today as well with Audi, see change is often good.

As far as your neighbors getting drilled like a Texas oil rig that's just part of human nature and also why we have headphones and heavy metal music.

Humans make all kinds of pretty terrible noises. Why would OP have to hear it? Noise pollution / nuissance is a big deal in urban environments.

well you know explosives orgasms can be rather expressive, um if you don't want to here it live in a house, I mean life happens daily should embrace it and not shelter yourself from it.

Hey Nep if you wanna have a little fun before you move the next time you see that noisy girl say hey just so you know I could make you scream louder, see what she says.
