Grew up in NJ, left at 17 to the Army, will not move to the NE or West coast ever again in my life, I think you people fleeing the burning ship that you built up there should stay and fix the mess you and your people created. If you insist on running away from the problem, please dont create new ones wherever you land.

Sometimes "the ship" was built by droves of suburbanites who migrated in hordes through the good time years (80's thru 90's) and turned once rural farmland and woodlands into a mirror image of what they left ...more suburbia. I live in NE PA on land my family settled on in the mid 1700's. I ain't leaving....they are (the NYC and NJ imports) due to the downturn. New schools were built and now sit idle (one area high school is only 5 years old). With the new gas tax, probably more will leave. Is my standard of living more expensive staying here? Hell yeah. But the area is still the #1 mecca for Benchrest activities, I'm am in proximity to more registered matches than anywhere else in the country, and most important to me , it's been my families homestead for over 260 years.

I grew up in Bucks County, but hunted in Wayne and Susquehanna counties. At 33 I moved to Wayne Co. and it was right after 9-11. the influx of NYers and Jersey a/holes in that area did nothing but add to the crime rate and traffic. as they all still worked across the river. It took me about 6 years to give in and I moved again, too Wyoming. My next move is to be homeless beach person somewhere in Mexico...... Cabo maybe. Hey if I am going to keep getting surrounded by immigrants I think I will go to where they left! At least its warm there.

I do know someone that literally lives on the beach in the Barbados ......... tough living when all you have to worry about is land craps stealing your bed roll while your in it!!!!

P.S. I originally left Bucks county because I could not see how I could ever afford to live , and at the time I was a body shop manager at a Porsche /Audi/VW dealer.............. Lived like I was on welfare and had a good job........

Welcome to Connecticut!

I live better here on a third the income and have the Bighorn Mts. out my living room window now!!!!!

Yeah... it must he real hell, living that far away from all of the "Beautiful people", and action...

... but someone has to live in those awful areas!



I lived in a tiny town in PA for 5 years (Dingman's Ferry). From September to June, we didn't lock our cars or our houses - friends would drop by with a pie and just leave it on the kitchen counter with a note ("Was in the area and dropped this off")... but in July and August, we locked everything, cuz the New Yawkers rented cottages in the area and took anything that wasn't nailed down, and if they couldn't take it, they trashed it.

Catshooter, I lived in Newfoundland, by the Lake and worked just East of Mt Pocono(GHETTO) and the immigrants are now full time residents except they all work across the river and leave all their kids to fend for themselves 65+ hours a week. Teenage kids with a ghetto upbringing (whatever that is????) are prone to find a little mischief!
On the plus side Heroin is dirt cheap around the lake if you are into that kind of thing!!!!!
P.S. By immigrants I mean new to Pa. residents. Skin color and age meant nothing to me. By far the worst neighbor you can have is a white family with a Russian accent. Criminal to the bone. Some of our best customers were Latino and Black and were just looking for a better life. Russians and Slovekian immigrants, never met a decent honest one yet.........

Hey Wyoming 260,

I have looked at housing prices around Cody/Powell...either you get a 1960's crackerbox in town for 175K, a 1980's McMansion for 300K, a 2006 Mini-palace for 450K, or you can buy a ranch if you have a cool million to spare. Then you have to consider, just where am I gonna get water? Not knocking WY at all...loved visiting, would love to move, but at the prices to enter, this regular little guy is wondering why prices there are same as here in NY? I get it, your taxes are non-existent....but I am not seeing many jobs listed. Maybe looking in the wrong places??

 

[400short]

I've been watching this thread with great interest. I left NY back in '75 because I saw the handwriting on the wall then. First to Wyo, then Co. Them Mt. and back to the Bighorn Basin. Real Estate prices here may seem high to you but compared to the adjacent states, they are not. I bought 25 irrigated acres in 2000 for $40K and built a house and barn on it. The nice thing about the area is that we are 90 miles from an interstate. People who come here have this area as a destination, they are not just passing through. We have relatively little crime, because it is a close nit community. Employment is difficult to find. Much of it is low paying and seasonal in nature. Winter is long and cold, although usually not too much snow. Wyoming is notorious for being hard on Women. I believe this. Politics tends to be right wing although there are a few closet libs here. The most important thing to know is that there are NO coyotes in Wyoming!

 

[400short]

I forgot to say that if you're into competition at all, it's not here. There just aren't the numbers of people to support it. We had a HP program running for a few yrs and would attract maybe 10 people per match. Now if you want to shoot on a regular basis you have to travel several hundred miles.

 

[JeffG]

I feel for you guys. Wasn't too long ago that NY and NJ where a Haven of rifleman. Very sad to see that slip into the history books. Some of the best shooters on the USA have come from that region of the US.

The little lady was offered a job in the DC area. She asked me what I thought? I said not only no but HELL NO. Best of luck with your job.

Our whole family has been in NY for (six) generations, it's starting to look like the grass is greener elsewhwere. We had a bunch move to Winchester VA, seems great, and some of them worked in the DC area...just sayin', your wife could commute!

I rent because I don't plan to be here forever. and my total monthly expenses on everything besides groceries and gas is 1100.00 a month.

. Can you find Costa Rica?

 

[hogpatrol]

Costa Rica's nice but all hunting is banned. It's a PETA/tree hugger's paradise. :

 

[500Stroker]

That does it! I'm packing up and moving to Oklahoma!

OK is OK.
If you want life at it's best come check out Lake of the Ozarks, MO.
Shoot'n, Hunt'n, Fish'n, cheap taxes and the best dam moonshine on the planet.

That is why there are so many antelope.

Yeah, but it's a lot better than Mexico. I talked to a guy, at a lunch/bar stop down there, outside Nosara. He loved it. He was living off the interest of $150000 he had invested , back in the states. He had an old, beat up Toyota 4X4. Rented a house, and had a house keeper/cook/ ? , that .he paid $40 a week for. He said he was happy as a pig in ...... One of the problems is 6 months of rainy season. Another is, yeah, no guns. But, jeez, the fishing is GREAT!!! Tuna 2 miles from shore!

 

[itchyTF]

Mexico - Join the drug gang and you can have all the guns you want! ;D Holder will even send you some.
