Country life or Down South? - 2/7/2013
We just recently moved from LA to a small town on the Eastern shoreline of Ct. It's a village really with a number of towns nearby which blend together to form the shoreline. What an adjustment. We were looking for more nature and less expense as well as the change of seasons. We pretty much got it except its more expensive here for some items like food and of course heat.
We have lived in NY, Miami, La and now Ct. I am from Ct which is why we moved here. It's beautiful and familiar but now we see it might not be the ticket.
Both my husband and I are having a tough time adjusting to the cold winter and gray days and are not sure if this is really the right place for us. We like the abundance of nature and the lack of traffic and rude people that LA has but think maybe a smaller city would suit us better and more temperate weather.
Anyone know about Asheville or any other town on North Carolina that might work?
We are both liberal Obama people who are not

Cost of Living High - Quality of Life Not So Much - 4/11/2012

There is a reason why I've never seen this area listed in "Best Places to

Greenwich - 2/21/2011
Even though it is not reality, Greenwich is a great place to live. We have the smallest house in Greenwich (probably the smallest house pretty much anywhere, less than 800 sq. ft.) & we're not Greenwich "material", but you can't beat it for casual beauty, convenience to any & everything you need or want in Fairfield & Westchester, as well as all the town benefits.
You will not believe the property taxes & mil rate because of the mega-rich businesses here. You may not be able to afford the property, but you can always pay your taxes (the exact opposite of Westchester, where I grew up & why we actually decided for a laugh to look at Greenwich back in the 1990's). Simple things like the town dump book exchange give you a small town feel & everyone on our block still wave at each other when they drive by (I came from New York & THAT took some getting used to, I can tell you!).
The City, Long Island (we love Jones Beach) & the upper states are easy to get to,
