Ok so I live in Gainesville Fl. Its a shitty little town, and I cant stand it here. I really cant stand it anywhere in the south, its just not my thing.

While this town is pretty miserable for me to live in it is totally dedicated to the university of Florida, and that makes it a very easy place to live. I can ride anywhere in town at virtually any time of day or night for free, jobs are more than plentifully.

However, community college credit hour cost recently went up about 50 percent thus eliminating my only real reason to stay here. While I do love the luxury's of not having to own a car, and pretty much being able to get a decent job at the drop of a hat its starting to feel like it just isn't worth it to stay here. Ive lived in allot of other places (Houston, Kentucky, Cincinnati, and Boston) and never really had trouble getting along with anyone, I just don't seem to click with most people in the south....er maybe its just Florida.

So....I have a nice little chunk of money saved up, a good solid year of work experience in a professional environment, and my annual desire to bounce is creeping up on me like a fat chick at closing time...what to do. I getting ready to get back into school this fall and I'm not really sure I want to stay here...to be honest a day doesn't go by that I don't regret moving here. Aside from the adventure it has been moving here with no money, knowing noone this place is miserable.

I have no reservations about moving to a strange new place without knowing anyone, that shit is what I am best at, however I am getting a little older and I want to make sure wherever I do decide to move it meets all of my easy going needs. So here is what I need from you guys.

I'm looking for...
1) Excellent public transportation
2) Housing cost estimates
3) Close college proximity....preferably community for the moment.
4) General vibe
5) Job prospects
6) You couch to crash on...come on help a nigga out

Find me a great city to live in and the hash brownies are on me.

I'm doing my own independent research ala google, but I trust you all way more than some scheming "come on and move here its great" web page.

Thanks:awesome:

I'm currently weighing a move down to SB or SC. Do you want to be near the water due to surf interest, or are you just accustomed to living near the water?

Hey i moved from a town in volusia county florida to california and its fucking awesome out here people are soo much nicer, the weather is great, the weed is amazing and theres some great public transportation here in the bay area.
the huge downside is insane costs, gas is around 3.88 where i live and runs atleast $4 a gallon in san francisco. Rent is insane when i first moved here we were paying $1000 a month to rent a one bedroom one bath place that used to be someones garage, currently were paying about 2k a month for a 3br/2bath.
if your gonna move out here save up your money and hopefuly have some kinda trade or higher education. the union workers for sheetmetal and pipe fitters and the various construction trades make money hand over fist out here good luck.


--------------------
if anyone in the bay area gets ahold of a sheet or so of extra lsd send me a pm :eek::grin::mushroom2:
