How's the rent? -
11/27/2007I currently live in a "cheap" area of the country. I can rent a one bedroom for $500/month. Rent is my largest finacial concern. I can transfer to just about anywhere with my company. The only thing is I don't make very much, but I am used to it and I think anyone could enjoy there life on a low income. I am looking for a place that is kinder on the environment, has an eye for the artistic yet isn't gonna make me have to live in my car or under the bridge. I did that before in seattle. When I lived up north of seattle in bellingham I found most people to be snobbish. I never truely felt like I was welcome, even after two years. It's like "I was here first! YOU'RE ruinening my land." Anyway, my search led to me to medford and ashland area. Is this my place? sounds great so far.

Two Seasons, Hot & Dead -
11/25/2007I have lived all over this great country. Germantown is my hometown and I can't stand it. As far as the climate, it's great if you like it hot and humid. It's great in the winter if you hate snow but love it cold and rainy. This place isn't a cold escape. I would rather have the snow if I'm gonna be cold. ps I have lived in the snowy lands of northern new york, so I know what I'm talking about. The weather sucks here. Also, expect severe thunderstorms and tornadoes with flood and hail damage. there are only about six weeks a year that are comfortable. Also, the heating costs here are out of sight for the temps we get, low teens is the lowest it stays for two or three weeks. My utility runs around $300 for a 2500 sq ft house. That is just gas.
