F**K THE MIDWEST, WE'RE MOVING BACK.... Just a few hours drive to VEGAS, Sedona, Grand Canyon, Nogales, San Diego. What more can I say?

my friend is from rockford, IL as well, and he moved to san diego a few years ago. now he says he'll never live anywhere but the southwest.

I hear that - but I will always consider myself a New Yawker. You couldn't beat that out of me if you tried!

Cheaper real estate is only part of the picture for me - it's the weather (NO SNOW), the clean air, the beauty of it all (I've seen pictures - and it's breathtakingly nice out there) - plus the couple of people we already know. And I'm a bit sick of the NorthEast. It's crowded, and anywhere it's not crowded, it's colder or more expensive. I figure, if I'm gonna make a move, might as well make a BIG one.

I'll definitely miss the ocean and beach - but truth be told, I'm not much of a beach person anyway. It's awesome that it's here, but it's not worth double the real estate price to me - maybe if living was cheaper, I could own a boat and take advantage of it. But that's not feasible.
