Wherever you move, don't make it the Seattle area. They released some stats recently that said our area is down on population. One of these days we'll balance back from when all the Californians moved up here in the late 80s and early 90s.
     No offense, but I liked it much better here up till then. There was virtually no pollution and no traffic. Now we have both.

Skurj...I'm too lazy to read the entire thread, so if this has already been mentioned or is now off topic I, well, I still don't care, but I thought I'd mention it.  Check out Oregon, specifically the Willamette Valley.  Great place to live, ocean about an hour away, desert about two hours away, snow and mountains about an hour away, and plenty of crap to do between Eugene, Salem, and Portland.  Anyhow, it ain't hot year round by any stretch of the imagination, but worth looking into - it doesn't snow much in the valley.

The top tax rate is 16%, you don't have to renounce your citizenship to become a permanent resident,  it's nice and warm, and almost all the Chinese moved to Canada, so you don't have to worry about them. Nice bit of pay back, actually if you think about it - coming over here and stealing our women and our jobs... ;)


Heh not such a bad idea... cept for the ridiculous cost of living.....


Well shiiii .......    not alot came from this thread, though I will look into the islands, and hell any overseas work I guess.

Hope the IT field picks up soon....
