Could be moving to the U.S, help needed - Page 2 - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

he probably wants to be close to an airport, because if his parents are divorced, i'm betting his dad will remain in England. When it comes time to visit his dad, being close to an airport will be a plus.

**Quality4Qty** · 10-28-2007, 03:48 AM

Dont move to Australia. Our weather is too nice for everyone, so we keep it to ourselves. And there's already too many people (19 Million).

**uphokyhuP** · 10-28-2007, 04:10 AM

if your set on the NYC area you should move to Connecticut. southern CT is 35 mins from NYC with lower real estate taxes than NY, but i'm not sure how far 200k will get you, maybe a nice down payment. you wil never see a nicer change of seasons than that area though, and it definitely snows enough.
Also, I they just redeveloped part of Queens or Brooklyn, i forget, that used to be industrial, right on the East River so it overlooks Manhatten, and is now cheap lofts that have little taxes to promote residential development. (just don't go swimming)
otherwise, if your all about the east coast, you should look at boston suburbs.

thats why henry ford (and the euros) came up with the idea for cars.

**cinggooft** · 10-28-2007, 07:59 AM

Yes, and I'm sure he'd love to take a road trip across the Atlantic...

Yeah my dad is staying and I don't really like him either so I won't be visiting him. Just friends and family
Quote, originally posted by against the wall »quick question. why exactly do you want to be really close to a major airport?
Because it would be nice to get to an airport quickly if I go back to England to visit.
Thanks for your suggestions but are these area's suggested multi-cultural and multi-racial?

**furious1** · 10-28-2007, 12:53 PM

With the exception of snow, Bakersfield meets your goals sort of. LOL A 4,000 sq ft house with all the amenities and a pool can be had for $650,000. $220,000 would buy 2,000 sq ft. Cost of living is cheap. We have summer and winter. Granted winter is about 3 weeks long....but I digress.

I need some snow otherwise it doesn't feel the same.

**ssupermegatone** · 10-28-2007, 05:51 PM

Just out of curiosity: why does it have to be NA? I understand the language is an important factor and all and i am sure there are awesome places to live there but just asking.. Even Scotland and Ireland or Wales can provide you with far cheaper houses and great facilities and you won't even have to move far away for example.

**cinggooft** · 10-28-2007, 06:36 PM

Well, you ARE moving to a new country. Why not try a newer climate, too?
That said, if you were to move to California, the central valley is where houses tend to be cheaper. Those in the Stockton area tend to commute through the mountains to work in Silicon Valley. The mountains where there's snow are a road trip away, too.
But like I said, the costs of living in California are generally higher than in other states. Despite the large amount of immigrants that move here.

**bebeacc** · 10-28-2007, 07:10 PM

From your requirements, Long Island seems almost perfect. Almost. The cost of living is relatively high i.e. taxes and the cost of the house itself. However, does it have to be a house? How about a condo or apartment for sale?

**KinicsBonee** · 10-28-2007, 07:42 PM

Move to British Columbia lol, I know about 4 kids at my school who have came from England.
It always snows every year. Houses for $200,000 could get you a Townhouse

**xquFzpNw** · 10-28-2007, 08:02 PM

Do not come to Toronto. With $220,000, the best you can bet for is a new studio condominium. It is however, multi-cultural, close to an airport, and it gets its frequent episodes of snow.

Well why not? I've always wanted to goto the U.S and maybe live there one day. This could be my big break

Has to be a house. I can't imagine 4 people living in a flat and my mum don't like flats either. Are condos like bungalows but only bigger?
Like I said before, thanks for the suggestions guys.

**indentKew** · 10-30-2007, 08:10 PM

condos are kinda like 2 floor apartments. theyre connected to one another. its kinda hard to describe i guess.

**Quality4Qty** · 10-31-2007, 05:50 AM

You're going to be disappointed. In USA, people drive SUVs.
Also, about being multi-racial, open minded whatever, just dont go to the deep south and you'll be fine. I think. I dont really know, never been to the USA.
But I will in like a month!

**estheticianI** · 10-31-2007, 01:45 PM

Uh, thanks.

**oxinsnepe** · 10-31-2007, 08:57 PM

How about boston? or maybe brookline, which is right next door, you have loagn airport, a load of snow and pretty good schools. i dont even need to tell you about colleges.

Well as I said, I don't know. I guess I'll find out soon. Sort of.
