All joking aside, I am taking FRANNY and the missus up to West Virginia in the next few months to start eyeing property for the eventual Wigwam compound. It's beautiful up there.

Outside the PNW, I'd move to northern Salt Lake, or Temecula. I have my reasons.
Sexual conquests aside, I'd probably end up in West Virginia.

Very appropriate. I will claim it for the Cherokee Nation but all of HH can move there and we will just smoke Race's weed all day and make @SECDAWG find pictures of asses like those above to amuse us (boners).YellowSnow said:

Haters. Northern Virginia is tits. I don't hate Democrats with the burn of a thousand suns like some of you, but I am wary of them fucking up VA now that they're in power.
I need globalism where I live so that narrows the list considerably. Seattle used to be on that list but these days.... yeesh. Maybe Raleigh (though not quite global). Or ATL (but ugh worse humidity). I would personally probably prefer to move abroad, like Auckland or Brisbane or Singapore or Nice or Krakow. -

of all the places I have lived - San Diego, Denver, Seattle, Baltimore, Huntsville, Wichita - in my travels stay away from
- Wichita - twice I lived there and twice on business trips. The people are strange and not much to do. Flat - if someone farts in Winnipeg a wind blows thru Kansas. The Ourkansas river gets to be 95 degrees in the middle of summer. That is not a river to me.
- Baltimore - Watch the TV show Homicide - no need to say more. Good Italian food the best I have ever eaten
- SD - California and too crowded - best weather I have ever been in
- Denver - lots to do the winters are killers. Used to set my watch when the thunderstorms rolled in off the mountains at 5 pm daily in summer. Maybe outside in a smaller town in Colorado would be OK
- Huntsville, Alabama. Loved it, enough to do, great golfing, water everywhere, best BBQ (white sauce), and easy to get anywhere quickly. Vacationed on the gulf coast, went to Tennessee, Ga. etc - stayed at Talladega but not for a big race. People were a bunch of rednecks so I fit right in. Golfed with these two black guys who made sure I didn't get into too much trouble - they would not go golfing with me to Arab.
- Seattle - left there 12 years ago - nothing more to say about that place.

And some accents ARE just captivating to me for real. I don’t really have a favorite language or accent. But if I did, a female southern accent that doesn’t screech. And a hot Hispanic speaking English as a 2nd language. Arabic, Farsi or whatever language they speak in the ME is too fast and angry.
French is annoying. Italian spoken by males is a very punchable tone as well. -

Bellingham is about half the price as Seattle but about twice as liberal (yes it's possible). Gorgeous place to be with access to the best mountain in WA that doesn't get crowds.GrundleStiltzkin said:
Bellingham is nutty expensive for what it offers, and politically following Seattle, but without the economic base. Hard pass.HHusky said:

But unless you're a burnout or retired, your options are limited.
- They are putting out their own Green New Deal which is forcing homes to be carbon neutral in a few years. This means to build a home you cannot have any fuel other than Electricity in your home. If you sell your home, it must be converted to carbon neutral before a sale can occur. This means all the old pre-50s/60s homes that would be hell to remodel will need to be gutted and updated to electricity. They are stripping the market and getting worse.
- They are getting ready for a rent cap, meaning that the rent is set and landlords are forced to be below that.
- They are also going to put into affect that landlords must pay all utilities for their renters.
- 60%+ of the residents in Bellingham are rentals.
- They can't handle their own homeless problem.
Bellingham is full of stupid effing WWU graduates and liberal self fart sniffers. Doubt it, have fun reading this: https://nytimes.com/2020/01/05/us/bellingham-natural-gas-ban.html
Information I have provided is from a Bellingham Real Estate pro.
Don't go to Bellingham, it is trash... plus you have to deal with Canadians being idiots to buy shit from us because their own country is so effing corrupt in their own economy. -

Totally concur with Balmer's Italian food. By FAR the best Italian food the Throbber has ever knocked back. Kind of get a boner thinking about the Bookmaker salad at Sabatinis. Little Italy was actually a pretty nice neighborhood in an otherwise shithole town.Doogles said:
