Nope we get hit both ways, our schools get 66% of our property taxes, police 11.25% and some how our district courts increased by 122.8% and water went up 229%??
I know you were responding to @Viking Jeeper ..I just needed to rant a bit more...lol. at least my oldest was smart enough to leave the state, he teaches PE in NH, no state income tax and the cheapest alcohal in the country as far as I know. My daughter is going to college in NC so there is hope she stays the hell out of here as well. I don't want grand kids here tying us to this state.
Every year, about this time through April, I get the same rant from you! It’s a justified rant. You can rant to me anytime.
Thank you...it just kills me every year....I know there are many here sick of me saying it...or saying to themselves just f-in move already
My Dad wanted to move out of Illinois for decades due to the crooked politics and state debt but never did before he died this spring. Its not easy to leave a place where you have lived much of your adult life and you have kids, grandkids, great grandkids nearby.
If you move to FL we have a few new entrance requirements for those of you coming from NY. Just saying.Thank you...it just kills me every year....I know there are many here sick of me saying it...or saying to themselves just f-in move already
I get where you're coming from...I'm still working and dont need the money. At the same time I consider a company like Savvy to be a small company. I probably would never consider a set of Savvy Sliders but with this check if I get one I just might splurge for it. So I'm helping out small business and the guys who work there.
Sorry about your Dad! I agree it is very tough to do that, I envy @Chris who can just up and move the family. We finally got my parents to retire to PA as we knew it would be impossible for them to stay here on LI. It was the best move they ever made. That is one of the reasons I pushed my kids to go to college out of state, yes it costs more to go to an out of state college, but if they can avoid having to grind it out here they will be better off in the long run.
had a place in FL, can't say I could live there all year round...Although Islamorada does peak my interest.
I had lived in San Diego, CA since getting out of the military and had grown tired of the politics, liberals and cost of living. After living in CA for 40 years I had enough and changed my home of residence to FL; just bought a townhouse In Jacksonville.
I know it's still early after the move, but how is it. I mean do you feel a sense of relief?
I'm constantly thinking about doing the same thing.
I've been stationed in San Diego twice and traveled there for the Navy several dozens of times. Love going there. Dont ever want to live there again.
Still learning where things are in relation to my needs.
Presently the gas prices range from $1.90-1.99 in my area, but I have seen it as high as $2.10 at the big name stations.
My Jeep enjoys the better gasoline (less additives) and the HWY gas mileage has jumped 2 mpg.
The overall cost of living is much lower, we don't have a governor with a swelled ego (you can read that how you want).
In the winter months it rains more than Southern California and the humidity is quite nice, but I enjoy the rain.
The summer months are QUITE humid and temperatures range 63-95*, but this prepares me to visit the PI for several months.
This season the temperatures have been great ranging from as cold as 26* once to as high as 80* a few times, but generally 35-68*.
