What more can I say?
my friend is from rockford, IL as well, and he moved to san diego a few years ago. now he says he'll never live anywhere but the southwest. :D

Originally posted by boricua well, i'd stay in NY just for the reason that you'll never live in any other place like NY. you also got to think of what your giving up here. also, why move so far away to AZ just move to like PA, NJ, CT, or even a little upstate. i'm sure you can find cheaper real estate closer than AZ.
I hear that - but I will always consider myself a New Yawker. You couldn't beat that out of me if you tried!
Cheaper real estate is only part of the picture for me - it's the weather (NO SNOW), the clean air, the beauty of it all (I've seen pictures - and it's breathtakingly nice out there) - plus the couple of people we already know. And I'm a bit sick of the NorthEast. It's crowded, and anywhere it's not crowded, it's colder or more expensive. I figure, if I'm gonna make a move, might as well make a BIG one.
I'll definitely miss the ocean and beach - but truth be told, I'm not much of a beach person anyway. It's awesome that it's here, but it's not worth double the real estate price to me - maybe if living was cheaper, I could own a boat and take advantage of it. But that's not feasible.
