Which Legacy/Major do you want to work at and why...

[Nick]

Car registration so far has been significantly cheaper, we paid around $600 a year in MN.

$600 a year for vehicle registration??

Not insurance, but state registration...?

Correct. My car was $407 and my wife's was $200 something. The newer the car the more $$. Minnesota is insane I've come to realize during this move.

WARNING: Thread hijack in progress!

Can someone please explain to me the draw of Seattle? High taxes, horrible traffic, almost constant rain and/or overcast, and 500K gets you a hovel. Seriously, the median single family home price is now over $660K (check out today's Seattle times.). It's a nice place to visit, but why would anyone want to live there?

quoted for truth. don't come here It rains and it sucks every day.

If I can't shoot a gun and have the bullet land on my property, the plot just isn't big enough.

I have lived all over the country, thanks to Uncle Sam. I don't know of a major metropolitan area anywhere that you can do such a thing, and I've lived in some serious flyover and redneck country.

A 40 minute drive from DTW and you can be sitting on Cass Lake admiring the seaplane in your backyard. You can shoot pellet guns all day, and maybe a 22 every once in a while. But only 20 minutes from DTW, you can shoot whatever caliber you want. It won't land on your property, but the cops will never show anyways.

High prices aren't everywhere. Very reasonable living can be had 35-40 minutes outside of Seattle.

We just moved from MN. Our newly built house was roughly the same price as what we would have paid in MN for the same size, property tax is actually less and of course no state income tax. Sales tax is less than MN. Car registration so far has been significantly cheaper, we paid around $600 a year in MN. Traffic sucks sometimes but is fine if you time it. Can't say much for the weather yet because we haven't been here long enough but it has been very nice temp wise, 70s, and sunny every day almost. Lots to do within 2 hours drive. We love it so far.

But is it a good place to raise a family??? Are the summers nice?

Wonder where they get the valuations from, KBB?

Hell, you can go 5 miles NW of downtown Detroit and do all the shooting you want.

But I don't think that was quite the point.

Come to the other Washington a three hour drive east. Same no state income tax. Sunny, dry, high desert climate. Rural. Conservative. Little traffic.

+1 on this. Not to mention you're close to places like Couer d'Alene, Missoula and Kalispell. Beautiful area and so much room for activities!

Oh yea, go Cougs!

Holy crap! I pay $28 a year per vehicle for registration in NC, and property taxes aren't but about $100 or so for a new car.

Yeah, but you have to use the bathroom of your birth gender.

That's what @Nick and I were laughing about for the better part of two hours in cruise.

And they must be said in a voice similar to that of George Carlin doing his "Have a nice day!" bit.

Doesn't NC still have personal property tax?

 

[Cptnchia]

Funny thing, people were using whatever bathroom they wanted to for years before HB2. I subscribe that election year stupidity and rhetoric are driving the dumbassedness of America.

Allegiant and Spirit are no longer majors.......... hilarity from the ExpressJet Pilot Recruitment facebook page:

 

[Cherokee_Cruiser]

I just realized even this poll doesn't have Allegiant and Spirit as choices
