BF2S Forums Looking to move...

Don't move to the Inland Empire.  Well, it is cheaper, but the cow manure smell is overpowering.

I love Orange County.  15 minutes to the beach, 2 hours to the mountains, 2 hours to the desert, great weather.  The housing costs aren't going out of control anymore either, so you probably could find something feasible.  Plus the greatest basketball franchise ever plays 45 minutes away.

The Kings suck, but "they've got a lot of young talent" according to my brother who has been saying the same thing for the past 3 years.

Two of my best friends live in LA...so Orange County would be fucking awesome.  I definitely wouldn't mind living in LA...

Anywhere where it never gets cold. Florida or SoCal TBH.

Patrick Kane, Jonathan Toews, Cam Barker, Duncan Keith, Kris Versteeg, Brent Seabrook tbh.

I should visit you guys some day

*cough*

I'd still LOVE to go to Australia.  An ex of mine lives there and said I could stay at her place when I came to visit.

what about LA traffic???

San Jose looks like a good choice

Well, I'm planning on selling my car anyway.  So I'll just bike everywhere.  So traffic won't matter much.

San Jose does seem pretty awesome...but I know a bunch of people in LA...and apparently they cost about the same to live in.

Can't live without a car in SoCal unless you have a lot of time or live literally in the city.

Honestly, I think I'll be ok with just my bike.  A couple friends of mine live out in LA.  The only time one of them needed a car was when he moved to Burbank.

Touche, Salesman.

But I raise your Blackhawks and give you:

http://www.thehockeynews.com/imgs/dynam … 8214_2.jpg

At the current pace, the next Islander and the next Ovechkin.

Okposo should be pretty good too...so once he matures a bit, he'll be a solid player.  Same with Streit on D.  Weight will retire...so if you guys can sign a star forward and a couple solid D, you should be ok.

Tavares is good...but he's not the next Ovechkin.

Okposo's gonna be a fantastic player for us. He started the season off slow but is rapidly getting better. Weight AND Guerin will retire I bet. We're a team of old fogies and young punks. Unlike you, we haven't had much success in rebuilding.

Tavares is gonna be fantastic as well. He broke The Great One's OHL goal record...that's insane.

Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaantastic. Btw, no mention of Byfuglien?

But I digress.

Have you thought about NYC? You said you had family there? Honestly, NYC's in-freaking-credible. Unlike any other city I've ever been in. It's not too far away from the mountains either. Short drive upstate.

Yeah, I seriously considered NYC when my best friend moved to Brooklyn.  While it's a really fucking cool city, it's one of those places that I really enjoyed visiting...but I don't think I'd want to actually live there.

Nimbin, Australia.

Or try Detroit, I heard that you can find bargains there.

All comes down to personal preference, I suppose. Honestly, if you can afford it, it sounds like San Jose would be the perfect fit for you. But that again brings up the question of affordability and whether it's really worth it or not.

Are you really sure you want to move? Ever thought of moving somewhere else in Chicago? I'm not familiar with it so I'm not sure how it's set up. I have to visit one day, though...I never got to visit the WTC so visiting the Sears Tower is on my bucket list.
