I live in Colorado, I have my entire life. My sister just moved to Texas, and I'm seriously considering it because fuck dude, rent has quadrupled in under a decade, while pay hasn't come close. Every year I make more, but I can afford less, which is insane.
My dad tells me to move to Texas, because I shouldn't live somewhere for political reasons, and the cities are liberal, so I should just move to a city (I'm not even liberal, but being a left leaning centrist or anything that isn't hardcore conservative means liberal these days).
But I don't want to move to Texas.. it's humid, and people, especially women, have some of the least human rights afforded to them by living there. But what the fuck can I do? I got into nursing because I thought I would be able to afford a home and support a family, but I literally can't do that unless I move to a shit hole, and even then I can barely keep my head above water
Take a look at Minnesota. Cost of living isn't huge and we need nurses and medical professionals
Don't get me wrong, I love it here in Minnesota. I consider it my adoptive home. But house prices are at least double what they are in my home state of Kentucky. Maybe 2.5 or approaching 3x. I suppose it is doable if you get a job, there is no chance my parents could sell their home there and move here to retire and get anything approaching the size and quality they have there.
Many people want to downsize when they retire. Maybe they could do that in MN?
Not a bad idea, and I've been keeping an eye out. Unfortunately they have hobbies that require space, e.g. a fishing boat, a trailer camper, and a truck big enough to haul both. They'd be fine with a smaller living space, but it's hard to find a smaller house on enough land to park/store that stuff. Luckily I have many years before it will become necessary to have them close. :)
What makes you think you'll be able to afford a home and pay property taxes in Texas in one of those cities exactly?
What did I say that implied I could afford to live in a city? Why are you being a confrontational jerk, when my comment was about how healthcare workers can't afford to live in the US?
It seems to be a direct response to your paragraph about your dad telling you to move to a city in Texas. I don't think they're trying to be confrontational, I think they're just saying those cities in Texas that you just said were recommended to you, are also expensive.
I think the best case scenario is to look around in the rural areas for cheap rents and just be prepared to drive
I get yeah with the liberal thing. Im really a progressive as in healthcare, education, regulation, work week, and social safetynets and such left of center, and these things used to be considered more common sense things a modern nation should strive for really. I don't know what happened. Then of course there is a far left where if you not onboard with every latest thing your a facist. Granted that is way left where as our general right is way right.
