slomove Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 (edited) I live in L.A. , kind of by choice because I chose to work here 15 years ago when I did not know better. It has its upsides, including excellent Winter blatting weather, some of the best mountain roads (unfortunately burning right now) and lots of other things to do. But I know the day when my wife and I retire we will move out. I can live with some of the strange people here and that my neighborhood could just as well be a suburb of Shanghai (after all, I am a stranger, too). But what drives me nuts is just the sheer number of people and the related traffic. I made sure that my work commute is only 6 miles on surface roads. Obviously I need to use the freeway for other destinations but I agree with that blog rant it just sucks. I am sure other metropolitan areas are not different, except for the mix of people. That is why we am looking for a nice mid-sized town to move to when the time comes. Any recommendations? Right now we are considering something like Boulder/Co, Ashland/OR or the like. A bit of rainy climate is O.K. but not hot and humid. Gert P.S.: Maybe I should mention I still have some 10 years to save up for a decent retirement Edited September 6, 2009 by slomove Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gjslutz Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Slomove, Colorado has many nice areas to live, only if you do forced induction for the altitude. From flying out there, I know what the affect is on performance. Other than the Photo enforcement, Arizona would also be a target for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohhiken Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Hi, "slomove", new member here. I pretty much grew up in the L.A. basin (46-06). I moved from there because of my attitude change if I didn't get home by 1 P.M. due to the traffic. I was in the SE LA county/W Orange county area. I knew no matter where I moved I would lose the mild weather (even though the summer humidity has trippled in the last 15 years there). Here in Oregon, the tax struxture, RE values and scenery drew me. I was into old cars but do to the distance just to go anywhere (I'm rural) I have mow sold most of them and are now back into the sports type. That is why I've become interested in the 7 replicas.........Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
