KhaoticRebel Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 Also have you looked at the cost of living in Nevada as well as if you wanted to stay closer to Vegas??? Rent for a place is crazy expensive, granted the roads and canyons/mountains are amazing. The cost is way above any reason to move there. I had a friend who lived there and she had to work 2 or more jobs to keep up with the cost of living.Actually, apartment prices are quite similar to the prices here. Maybe better if you factor in the things you get standard in apartments there. Most apartments have garden tub/shower and full size washer and dryer to name a few. In addition, without taxes, you bring home much more of your money each paycheck. Also, due to the housing bust, they're practically giving away houses in Las Vegas. This would actually be the best time to buy there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhaoticRebel Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 Someone is jealous.....I just have no desire to be surrounded by the decrepit crappyness of Cleveland, when if I only have one life to live and the opportunity to live surrounded by the grand canyon, and beaches, and palm trees, and waterfalls is available to me...LOL, keep telling yourself that. While Cleveland is crappy, recently rated number 1 as worst city to live in for weather, Nevada isn't all that wonderful after awhile. It's a weird thing not having rain for months on end. Almost unnatural. Thinking of Vegas as an example, there's like nothing in any direction for at least 4 hours. It's fun living there at first, but then you realize you live in a bowl with nowhere to escape to easily. Plus, dirt covers EVERYTHING no matter how well you try to protect things. It gets really annoying. Don't wear your shoes inside your house/apartment, because crap from parking lots will turn your carpet black in no time at all. Without regular rain, everything is just dirty. Vegas townies are a fun breed though, especially those from the east side. Good place to visit, but there are probably better places to live.

Prolly not for the rest of my life, but I am young and I wanna travel and enjoy some places for awhile.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you can tell from my post probably, I lived in Vegas for a spell. I was surprised at how cold it actually gets there. It was a pain to dress to ride in 40 degrees for the ride to work then ride home in the afternoon in 110+ degrees. It proved a bit of a packing problem at times.

ohdaho Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Move to Santa Barbara/SLO area. Weathers awesome. Greener than Vegas. College town vibe. Fun area to boot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
