Why do you live where you do?

It's all good. Obama takes care of him.

 

i am seriously gonna consider relocating

 

because it's home. My mothers family has lived here since the beginning of time.

 

It is what I consider to be home town. I have lived in other cities but always planned to be back in the Ottawa area.

Right now with the kids in school, I moved back to the city as traveling from where I own my home would have been just too much for them on a daily basis. When they are done their educations, I intend to return to my home and be back in the country.

 

I moved here to go to school and I continue to stay because I bought a house here with my boyfriend. He loves it here but I don't really love it anymore because I feel like it is too congested. He thinks this is ridiculous because he grew up San Diego.

Hopefully we will be going to northern Washington soon if we can sell the house. Eventually I want to move back to the town where I was born.

 

Because I don't have the money to move to anywhere better is the short and simple answer to that. lol

 

I'm in the process of finding a new place and it's not going to be in this town... More later.

 

You should come to the Pacific Northwest... it is where all the cool people are at

 

It's a complicated situation that boils down to the fact I'm marrying someone who inherited a crappy trailer house and there is no rent, and there's some drama with the neighbors that will keep us at least owning this property for as long as we have any say in it. They want to buy our lot and start an RV park. We hate them, so we won't let that happen. Hope one day to strike it rich and at least be able to get a new house planted out here. lol

 

couldn't you sell it to someone else?

i can't imagine hating someone so much that i would spend the rest of my life living next to them out of spite.

 

Long hot summers, the ocean, endless culinary choices, lots of microbreweries and craft beer choices, craft cocktail lounges, dynamic music scene (any kind of live local music you want), fantastic herbs, tons of hot girls, chill cops, chill people, choice of urban culture or beach culture, no regulations on driving custom cars and bikes, no state income tax, gun freedom, right to carry concealed weapons, good schools, open minded attitude for things like tattoos and pitbulls, cheap cost of living, radar detectors are legal, good fireworks are legal, lots of interesting people pass through. That's about all I can think of right now.

 

Oh and over 300 sunny days per year! The main reason I came here.

 

Where's "here?"

 

On the coast in FL, near Jacksonville

 

I was born in Syracuse NY, went to college in Ithaca NY and ended up living there for 20 years. Then my sister convinced me to move here in 1990. She was trying to get everyone in our family to move here. A couple did. Then she moved to New Mexico and now Vermont. What's with that? Long story. I would gladly move back to Ithaca but since I am taking care of my Dad, that won't be happening any time too soon. Or maybe never if the finances could not be worked out.

 

Yeah, I feel the same way about PA. Grew up in the DC area so I spent a lot of time there. To me PA is depressing.. But to each their own, as you said.

 

I was born and raised here, my family is here, and I like it here.

I like to travel for vacations, but if I am gone too long, I get physically ill. I am a homebody.

 

Can't trust that they won't turn around and sell the land to them. We're stubborn and proud, lol. I guess when we die, it's up for grabs, because I don't foresee myself having offspring to force it upon. But until then, dammit, we're at least going to own the land. We'll get the house his parents live in now when they pass away, but since we put up a privacy fence encompassing the entire front yard, the neighbors aren't so unbearable. They still try really hard to spy on us, but the fence makes their lives that much more difficult.
