Wanna Move


I hate the lifestyle Vegas has to offer or maybe it is the climate I despise. I was born here and due to circumstances I have remained here but yearn to get out.

    Where would be your dream places to live? Make a list and then determine what needs to be fulfilled so that you can make your dream a reality. I know it’s easier said than done, but people can move, sometimes jobs can as well. You definitely have options – but so many of us say “I wish” instead of taking action.

    I escaped Vegas 2 years ago. People think you are living in paradise but those stuck there know differently. I did exactly what Libby said – made a list of priorities and moved to Buffalo NY. Its the exact opposite of Vegas – trees and grass, water, friendly people, arts and culture, genuine history and authenticity. My kids are in good schools (finally) and our cost of living was cut in half. I have a great job and a house that cost half as much that is twice as big. Make your list and go.

    Great advice!! I live in Vegas now- I’m a transplant from KY originally and thought the grass might be a little greener here..but it’s not and I don’t like it either. I think it’s the fact that everything is really sprawled out/provides no real sense of community. Aside from that there’s not a local music scene and no sense of locality. The farmers markets feel like swap meets! SO with all those negative aspects I don’t think I’ll be moving any time soon due to the housing situation we are in, can any one offer a comment of how to make it better for the time being?
