We've been looking at places in southern erie county, and the taxes are a LOT lower than here. Which is why I'm surprised you're paying so much.

Did you ever get your farm out in Mendon or what? i didn't. my wife wouldn't go for it. we found one place that was 10 acres, but she refused. her dream was to live in a dense suburban neighborhood where everyone hangs out. i'd personally rather put something sharp in my eye. we compromised and moved into perinton in a neighborhood that has 2/3 acre lots. we can all see each other, but it's a bit too much of a pain to walk over and start a conversation. we all wave, and that's it. it's perfect. 1 minute ago, joesixpack said: We've been looking at places in southern erie county, and the taxes are a LOT lower than here.

Yeah, in looking around like Sardinia-Arcade, she'd cut her tax burden by about 50%, and the housing cost would be lower as well. I can work just about anywhere, so it may actually happen.

When I lived there in 96-97 people had a real serious complex if you said you were from NY. And the traffic definitely is the worst. I'd pay the extra in taxes just to not drive in that mess.

My dreams of acres has also been shut down. Currently looking in Brockport and Churchville. East side waaayy too rich for my blood. Except for maybe Palmyra but then we're talking a 45 minute ride to work. Women...

Only place I'd consider moving is somewhere where I'm not dealing with cold and heat in the same year... Most places just arent warm enough in the winter to deal with their unbearably hot summers...I'm not trading 30 and snow for 45 or 50 and rainy...I'd rather have the snow to be honest... California, South Texas and South Florida are really the only areas that fit that description...the other places still are cold enough that the heat tradeoff isnt worth it...

In my years in savannah I can't recall too many days in the 40s. 50s yes. My blood thinned in my years there. My first winter back in PA, and I was wishing for death lol
