[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unless you felt like a fish out of water in NYC I would predict a bumpy transition.

There are lots of folks who have lived all over the place reading posts like yours; if you could name the location you're considering you may find more specific helpful advice.[/quote]

That is an inaccurate statement and an ignorant "generality".

I was born and raised in DC, and have always loved NYC specifically because of the hustle and bustle.  Then DH got a job in one of those "flyover cities" that everyone around here loves to hate... :roll:  :roll: ....and not only was the transition very easy but we acclimated very quickly and fell in love with the place.  We made great friends, life was slower, our money went much further and our taxes were way lower.  Than DH got a big promotion with that same company that required a move back to DC.  At first we thought it would be easy to come back because it was so familiar to us, and its where we were from, friends and family there etc. Wrong answer.  We lasted 2 years in DC after our 5 year stint in that "flyover city" because we got a taste of what it was like to live in such a wonderful, calm and inviting place.  After 2 years we sold the DC house, changed jobs and moved back.[/quote]

Are you a minority living in a place where there are few or no other minorities?  Do you have to travel two hours to find a community that practices your religion?[/quote]

Then be very thoughtful about your process of choosing where you're going to live instead of crucifying and area because it takes you TWO HOURS to get to a place where you can practice your religion.  In an older more established area where land is scarce I hardly think its reasonable for anyone to think its okay to tear a building down to make room for a church, synagogue, mosque or what have you.  And if you want it so badly, buy the land and the building and tear it down to make sure you're being represented.  [/quote]
