Re: Advice Needed - Living in America
Danny,
I would look at the crime rates in FL before you make a decision. It only takes one bad encounter to change your outlook look on life. FL however does allow concealed carry!

Re: Advice Needed - Living in America
You might want to check this site out:
http://outflux.net/weather/noaa/ Texas has a pretty wide range of climates. The climate varies rapidly as you go from Houston to College Station to Austin and they aren't very far apart. Still, even Austin gets really hot and humid in late summer. And forget Florida if you want to avoid humidity and extreme weather. None of these places compares to central to southern CA for weather. It is actually quite shocking when seen on a graph.

Re: Advice Needed - Living in America
Everyone pays eventually. If you have no income tax you will pay some other way. The question is, how. Maybe it is property tax. If not, maybe your schools suck and you need to send your kids to private schools, if you care about that. At every stage of our lives we want to live in a different state with a different tax structure. For example, if you have school age children, you want to pay property taxes as that is what makes the schools good but you want low sales tax and maybe even low income tax. If you are retired, you want to live in a state with low property tax and high income tax and sales tax.
If he has kids he needs to look at the quality of the schools and not worry so much about property tax. As he has said, taxes on small businesses is what he really needs to be low. I have been gathering college data for my son and I ran the climate search on cities closest to the schools he is looking at. Here they are:

Re: Advice Needed - Living in America
Tony one thing about Southern California is the cost of living. Everything is very expensive from Gas to Groceries from what I can tell. Rent/housing price will be very premium priced, And also from what I have read many business's are debating leaving the state because of the cost of doing business, in fact I read that compliance with the laws, for example handicapped accessible were getting so expensive it was less expensive to close up shop and move.

Re: Advice Needed - Living in America
There is a reason it is expensive. The weather is insanely nice. It is our mediterranean.

[QUOTE=SilverSpear;730918]
LOL... yeah I know that Lebanese are abundant in Canada, and the latter facilitates things for immigrants to its territory. We do have relatives and friends there. But living in cold and snow is not what we are looking for. It would have been the perfect place and I wouldn't have started this thread Winters are much milder in this part of the country (Canada), and far enough from the coast so as to not be naturally threatened, if that is all that worry's you. Taxes are quite high as we usually say BC stands for Bring Cash but worth looking at. I even saw a SVX last time I was in Kelowna. http://www.okanagan.com/

Re: Advice Needed - Living in America
Have you looked into the pacific northwest? It gets warm during the summers but not too extreme. We dont have much in the way of snow in the valleys and the humidity is nice and low (coming from NC ). The people tend to be friendly and the costs aren't terrible. Oregon has no sales tax and Washington has no income tax. If you dont mind some rain (light for the most part) its a great place. There is the coast that is close and mountains if you desire close as well. If you want more specific information and have questions feel free to message me. Might add that the drive from where I am to the coast is about an hr and to the mountains is about an hour and a half. It is nice and green year around.
