anonymous saysFt Wayne - if it's such a liberal shittole, why do you stay?
I scrolled through your recent comments and about 70% of them are bashing on CA and its politics and especially "the gays". If it triggers you so badly why don't you leave? Life is too short to be constantly triggered like this.
Probably waiting for his shack to hit 3M mark.
No, just too busy fighting off druggies and homeless. One literally peed on my parking spot last week, had to chase the asshole away. They steal mail frequently, leave needles and syringes on the sidewalk making it dangerous for children.

What are all the neighbors doing about this problem? No way it can be tolerated.
There must be some way to make life miserable for these bums so that they leave.
Can't do anything legally. Went to police, they are all in "worse" neighborhoods so no time for us. Simething about cops on the dots system they got. Went to councilman, he couldn't do anything either... he was aware though.
If I take it into my hands, I'll be in jail. If you got ideas, I'm all ears.
Would I move back? Probably not. It really seems that it's regressing (despite being "progressive") into a shit hole.

Wow, Patrick, you're moving up in this world: they've assigned a second Russian operative to your forum. This one, unfortunately, can't write in English and is unable to switch on Cyrillic keyboard on his device....So it's more like 1.5 Russian operatives. Nonetheless, still a progress.

You just described a lot of Baltimore City.

Hmmm, Google translate cannot deal with it. Anyone know enough Russian to translate? No doubt just spam.
I can recognize the words comrade, grandmother, work, but that's about it.
they would leave spontaneously and go wherever they could to obtain those thingsPortland or Seattle?

C'mon comrades move to the south - there in Alabama the taxes are so low, your grandma who has not worked a single day in America and receives [posobye - I'm not 100% sure what this means; my guess is social assistance/income] will be greeted like a liberator.
Everyone does what they want but I would never pay cash in Atlanta. Atlanta’s average annual appreciation rate is 2.2%. When a house is paid with cash, it’s the same as putting $200K-$400K in the bank for 2.2% interest. Outside of checking and saving accounts this is the least profitable way to use the money. That’s just the same rate of inflation.
I am from CA so I might be a bit biased, but is Atlanta really better than SF? 50% is blacks. One don’t need to be a racist to hear about crime statistics and race. Violence crime rate is 11.77/1000 vs 7.85/1000 for SF. It looks like moving from SF to Atlanta is like trading one set of problems for another. Me i’d take getting annoyed by street poopers than getting stabbed or shot or having my home invaded in the middle of the night. On that note, I would be careful with gun friendly states. Double edged sword. Most likely they are friendly because people tend to need guns there more, as stastistically confirmed in this case.

We live in a country that has transspecific bathrooms, but no parking for pregnant mothers or people with young children.

You also have to factor in no rent, but of course, maintenance.
You'll have oppressive heat in the summer time, but there are plenty of pools and water parks to compensate. When I lived in Monterey, I wore a hoodie 95% of the year because it was cold most of the time. Only a few days a year where it actually warmed over 70/80.
manyMOST peoplehereEVERYWHERE are so bad with investing.

The appreciation rate only matters for a rent/buy comparison. Once you decide to buy, what matters when deciding to pay cash or not is the mortgage interest rate versus what could realistically get by investing the money you would have put on the house. Also consider mortgage costs like origination fee, points, and any mortgage insurance. If you having a house built or are buying a builder spec home, the builder will usually give a discount to a cash buyer. I know someone will say "Tax Deduction" but on a $200k-$400k house that deduction is unlikely to beat the new high standard deduction, especially as the loan ages.
I personally feel like none of it matters. A renter, renting for less than owning will blow the savings difference in 95% of those situationsYep.

I don't know Atlanta. But in many other states you just want to move into white neighborhoods, and avoid black neighborhoods. It's not like CA, most of the country lives in a very segregated way. Would be interesting to find out about Atlanta.
I paid $250k cash for my house last year. If I wanted to sell, it's now worth around $300-310k. That's a little better than 2.2% dontcha think?.
Next month, I'm taking my son to Costa Rica to surf. A couple months after I have 3 more vacations lined up. Life is good.
Highly doubt that since Atlanta appreciated only 7.9% last year.

Long term, you can bet the house it is 2.2%.

Here are my thoughts in order of my trip so far.
1) Nice weather
2) Too expensive (I paid - errr my company paid - $7.95 for a bottle of water the other day)
3) White men are pussies out here
4) The homeless population has gotten worse
5) I don't miss the druggies
6) I watched a guy shit on the sidewalk yesterday
7) This morning a dude was walking around with no pants
8) There are a ton of dike like women
9) Peet's coffee's bathroom's are only for gender neutral people, not gender specific people - so it seems
10) I prefer living in my paid off house in Atlanta, rather than a shack, that's $2-3k/month
11) The hipsters at work talk about guns like they are evil
12) I like my gun.
13) Hot weather in the south isn't that bad, especially when your neighborhood has a pool
14) I can swim outside and take my shirt off in the south, because it actually gets hot enough
15) I had a good sandwich the other day at an irish pub
16) These tech companies want employees to think they have a "hip" place to work, but in actuality, it's a bunch of developers crammed on a small table - slave labor.
17) I love telecommuting and keeping my west coast salary
18) The tv/news out here, holy shit, talk about living in a bubble. Thank God you guys have the internet
19) CA has to be the most family unfriendly state
Would I move back? Probably not. It really seems that it's regressing (despite being "progressive") into a shit hole.
