You should follow J Mantzel on Youtube if you dont already. He used to have a big plot of land in America and has now decided to buy a small island in Panama I believe. Really interesting guy to watch. i'd love to do what he is doing.

why does san francisco need YOU? chances are, it probably doesn't. lincoln, nebraska may do. sound fun?
Thanks will have a look.
The older I get the less I want a nice house and be stuck in the rat race. that's not to say I dint want to work or pay taxes. I just want to decide what to spend it on, things like traveling are far more important than a stupid over priced house. thanks to overbearing and unneeded planning laws, which pretty much no other country has.
Edit - oh it's him with the giant spider robot thing.
I pay about $40 a month for 30mb unlimited. There are a lot cheaper plans but with 6mb line for instance.
My phone bill is more expensive over here definitely, again it depends WHO you go with. I choose to go with the best, which is of course the most expensive.
Try 'jaywalking' in the US.
America is a great country to visit, but it is too much of a mess to live in. A long-term illness will destroy you financially, the increasingly militarised police and overpowered prosecutors will do their best to ruin your life if the opportunity arises, and basic services like schools are funded by local taxes instead of at the state or Federal level, so poorer areas always get the short end of the stick.

Fair play to anyone wanting to move out there, personally i would not even take a holiday there.

The US has got all of the roller coasters
Granted Alton Towers is great, but their coasters are generally prototypes e.g. Oblivion, where US will get the full article dive coaster with 3 drops and a lot of track inbetween.

It's great for a holiday but am not so sure about living there full time. California takes some beating but a free health service, more paid holidays and the lack of guns make the UK a bit more appealing to me.
That's a bit stupid
There are plenty of stunningly beautiful and great places to visit in the US. It's probably one of the most geographically diverse countries on the planet
I'd love to visit the the West coast. San Diego, San Francisco, up to Portland, maybe Seattle.
Would be cool to see the old America too, South Carolina and such.
I can understand someone not wanting to live there due to the cultural differences, but to say you wouldn't even holiday there is really silly

That might be me in the next year or so.
However, given the choice, I'd probably choose (western) Canada over (western) USA.

Yeah because a bit of rain is so much worse than hurricanes, tornadoes and Arctic winters.

As the entirety of the USA has tornados, and rain is far worse than proper winters.
Well your comment which I replied to heavily implied that the US 'had better weather' without taking the fact each State can be vastly different into account so you don't get to introduce that point now. Same with land mass, people live is far closer proximity in places like NY or Detroit than they do in the UK.
