Things you love and hate about where you live.

[Fox-Gal]

LOVE:
Living in the country, peace and quite.
No real winters.
Lots of land to do as I please.
No traffic to deal with.
I'm about 1 1/2 or 2 hours from every main city, Orlando, Tampa, WestPalm, FT. Myers etc. so far enough away but still close enough if I need some city fun.
Feeling safe...crime rate is so low here.

SUNSHINE


Hate:
Living in the country, yes I I hate it too as well as love it. The loneliness.
Th fact that it takes me 25 min. to go to the store.
A lot of the country people around here...little to redneck for me.
No real good place to go out.
Tourist season.
No real seasons........I miss fall.

HURRICANES!!

The weather...above everything.
The mountains/hills
The ocean/beaches
The people...in general
My friends
almost everything...
And mostly the fact that its the place I call 'home'.

Hate:

Living expenses.......not only are houses incredibly pricey here, but they get more and more expensive every year.

Earthquakes

Hmmm.......I don't think I really hate much else here.

I have to agree with PCB on this one! Being originally from Indiana, these are the things that I Love about living in CA...

I LOVE:
The weather (it's not humid like in Indiana, and I definitely don't miss those -20 degree winters and excessively hot and humid summers LOL)
The fact that you can have your doors and windows open and no bugs fly in!
The mountains/hills
The ocean/beaches
The friends I've made out here
There is always something to do...no excuses! LOL
Wine country

I hate:
The cost of living
The traffic
Commuting
Bad drivers
Rude people in general
I actually miss thunder storms!! LOL

Would I move? Probably when (and if) I ever want to have a family, yes...because there is no way we could survive out here if one of us quit working But for now, no...I don't want to move away just yet! It's too much fun here!

[mugsy]

I love the fact that I'm close to most of my family.
I love the fact that I can help more with dog transports where we are because there aren't that many drivers.
I love being familiar with my surroundings
I love the history of the state
I love having the 2nd best genealogy department in the country practically in my backyard
I love the fact that I'm surrounded (but not too close to) bunches of big cities



I hate the narrowminded people (there are a lot of them)
I hate the way so many people in the state don't care about their animals
I hate how ultimately conservative this state is
I hate the lack of diversity

[guineapiglover4life]

Hate: It's soooo hot!!!!!!!!

[CamCamPup33]

Love-
The big cities
The weather (Hurricanes and all )
The people here
My house!
Proud to have Disney WORLD here!

Hate-
How crowded it can be
That FLA doesn't have snow
That Florida may dissapear if theirs a flood ()

That's it! Florida's my safe-haven. I don't think i would move anywhere else because florida holds a place in my heart, that no other state would replace! I love it here, even though people tell me how they would never move here because of the hurricanes, well hellooo theres all kinds of weather "problems" everywhere else. I just love it here!

TEXAS

Love:
Being close to the ocean..Galveston...40 minutes
Great community
Bigger IS better
No snow or ice in winter

Hate:
HOT summers
Humidity
Too far from my family (arkansas)
polution high (ship channel industry)

[catfancier]

Love:

• Being in the suburbs surrounding the city
  The fact that I live in the Capital, so the city is very important
  That the citizens and Public Servants are forward-thinking (almost demanding that the LOTR - Return of the King World Premiere was hosted here Dec. 1 2003)
  I can get whatever I want, almost whenever I want
  Unemployment is really low
  It's coming into summer
  I have all my pets at our rental property - the landlord likes animals too!

Hate:

• THE WIND!!! THE WIND!!! THE WIND!!! I hate the WIND!
  My country is so isolated - it's a big deal to go overseas
  All the Vet Clinics know 'of' me, but don't KNOW me, and aren't willing to take a chance on me
  To become a Vet or get a good, thorough vet nurse education there is only one Uni offering VN and BVSc courses, and it is 2 hours away
  Traffic jams
  Careless people who abandon their pets
  People who are cruel to animals

That last point just reminded me that it is the national SPCA collection/appeal week here in NZ this week. I will give generously.

[BCBlondie]

I have to agree with PCB and WolfLady...

I'm going to add a few more things though..

LOVE:
Many dog parks!
I'm 30mins from Six Flags Marine World, and an hour from Paramount's Great America
The diversity!

HATE:
The rain... It's always either cloudy or rainy where I live!! I want the sun and the heat!! *pouts*
Gangs, violence, drugs

[cubby31682]

Love
Scenery
Some of the beaches
Small town

Hate
The humidity
The winters
most people
and everything else I haven't thought of.

I would love to move back to CA, I was raised there for the first 12 years of my life and I want to go back. I can't talk hubby into it though.

[cowboy lover]

Things I Love:

the great 4-H system we have here
the very hot summer and pretty cold winters
the livestock in every pasture
And, of course my best friends

Things I hate:

The people, if you are new they look down on you
I hate the school, they don't care about students
I hate the stores, this town is so small it has almost no fastfood or good resteraunts
I hate the way that it is not close to any of my relatives
And I hate the way that if you do something wrong then the whole town will know the next day, and it will be published in the " Gossip Of The Week" newsletter.
I hate a lot of stuff about my town, but there are some things I love.

Would I ever move?: Definately
