5/30/2019For married Dorks and Dork kids. Dead landscape of NY ers couldn't hack it, recovering drug addicts..(drug and alcohol recovery center haven), zero nightlife and obese I don't care what I look like anymore because I got kids types all over. No singles worth a nickel. Dead scene but Midwest dorks tend to like it esp if coming from barren uninteresting dead landscapes like colorado. If ou have an east coast tupe A mindset you'll throw yourself off a cliff in a week from paralyzing boredom.

4/5/2019Strange, as you reviewed Wilmington on Wilmingtons Sperlings site. This is supposed to be a site to review a place (Asheville), that a person has actually lived in, not considered living in, but has lived in, currently better still, so as to review that place, not some other place. The sad fact of your choice to move to Wilmington should be all too apparent now, with homes blowing and floating away. Port city in hurricane alley? Take the mountains and the fresh water lakes. Leave the Ocean to the salt water fishies.

3/29/2019He is right. Mountain women are horribly unattractive. No makeup. They don't wear dresses and are frumpy. Military and bible thumper's wives lean towards the obese and not very bright to begin with. CS is not a fashion conscious town and the women are a testament to that. Imagine mid-west plain Jane meets the mountain-woman. If these ungodly looking creatures were to stroll down Rodeo Drive with their pony tails, tattoos, hiking boots and their North Face down mountain gear clothing bibles in hand ( non-manicured for years hands), they would be run out of town on a rail

3/11/2019I'm not from LA but I might as well be having spent 20 years there. Can you imagine living in a place with 8 million of these insufferable pricks like the one posting this review. Los Angeles died in the 1990s if it was ever alive in the first place, and it's been since inhabited by these horrific hipsters that are not happy with a plate of food unless it's had fairy dust sprinkled on top by some chef named Pierre. I've lived in Nashville for year and loved every minute of it. The people for the most part in Nashville and the surrounding communities in particular are the most polite and decent people that I've run into in the country. Gregarious outgoing personalities, fun and decent. I apply none of these to just about anyone who I've ever met in Los Angeles. You wonder why guys like this ever leave there. In this fool's paradise you will you'll find virtually no one speaking English as their first language, polluted beaches, unbreathable air and traffic that is beyond description it will make anything Nashville has to throw at it look like a parking lot in comparison. I rarely met anyone truly nice out there that was not self absorbed and narcissistic. People can be like this everywhere but it's taken to a new level in that hellhole Los Angeles. Don't listen to this guy.

1/10/2019Sam they (californians), won't take our advice . Most are too obstinate and programmed for mone and stuff and I got the bigger house than you and the whole power couple thing ( real estate agents esp awful). They are infesting the what use to be nice parts of Vegas on the outskirts Summerlin Henderson and have driven the prices up by 300 per cent as they sell their crappy Laguna beach Shack for 2 million dollars. Can't stand them. Not the economic issues so much but their incessant I'm more sophisticated than dumb Nevadans attitude. They are not friendly and very off putting. I am speaking in particular of the coastal elite types not the Central interior.

12/28/2018i just posted my own new review on Las Vegas and then scroll down and saw your post. What caught my attention is your comment regarding the dentists. I included that in the body of the post that I created. What the hell is it with the dentists out here. I know this town is full of scammers but the dentists are the Michael Jordan of the scammer world in Las Vegas. You're right. I've never seen anything like it.. One guy tried to charge me $12,000 and remove all of my front teeth just to replace one tooth that needed a crown. He actually Diagnosed me with a straight face. I was so angry I was going to hit him. LOL but then I thought about all of the Las Vegas slip and fall ambulance chasing personal injury attorneys on TV at 3 o'clock in the morning trying to get you to sue anybody for anything. So I just walked out of there shaking my head. I came in for a "free consult", but when I went out the girl charged me $200. I told her you told me was Free… Well yeah it's free if you become a patient of ours but if you don't then it's $200… They actually get away with this crap…Another thing about the dentist out here and this is going to sound indelicate but have you ever met one that didn't have some six syllable last name that you couldn't pronounce with some heavy accent from some God knows where. It's like they all come here to work over the Americans financially and steal what they can before they roll out of here back to wherever they came from.

re: WORST CITY ON EARTH

12/28/2018I live here too, but I have also lived in Los Angeles and having lived in both places I would say that this is the lesser of two evils. Everything bad here is magnified by a factor of 10 in Los Angeles. Used to be that one could say that the weather is better there but forest fires and if there's such a thing as global warming then LA is definitely experiencing it. Malibu is where I lived right on the beach across from the ocean and there were several days well over 100° last summer and most people don't have AC In Malibu because "if you live on the beach you don't need it". What BS. Anyway, I empathize with your point about the quality of people here in Las Vegas. I sold my place in Malibu and have been here for about six years and the only way I can describe the way I feel here is a combination of PTSD meets hypervigilance which all in all is actually one in the same. Everyone here is out to steal whatever they can from you. Dentists should be imprisoned. They may be the absolute worst and most corrupt of all of the professional class in Las Vegas that I've had the distinct displeasure of Being roughed up financially. Lawyers everywhere. You see them on television at 3 o'clock in the morning all 50 of them trying to get you to sue for every fender bender. I do believe there are people here who are deliberately trying to get hit by a car to collect insurance. I'm so aware of the cons that go on out here on so many multiple levels that I don't even drink and party and go out anymore. I'm always on guard. There's a ton of unstable people walking around even in the suburbs out here that are supposed to be nice. But near the strip you don't know what you're going to come up against. It's legal to carry guns out here without even a license. I see a lot of modern middle-age wannabe tough guys who look like they want to be a combination of Matt Dillon from Gunsmoke and a fighter in the UFC. And they walk around with guns holstered on their hips. A ton of middle-age males walking around all looking like they want to be the toughest guy on the block. Many stare downs. I'm always looking out for the next con and the next guy to step in front of my car trying to get hit and all of the other knuckleheads that are driving 100 mph and cutting me off every which way to Sunday either deliberately attempting to get me into an accident or they are just young dumb and stupid I don't know what. I feel sorry that you own a business out here. I had thought about that when I first arrived. I can and could afford to buy a business but after being here for a year or two I knew that this was a short-term proposition. Every day that I wake up I always have this idea that I'm only going to be here for a short time more and then I'm going to get out of here but strangely enough it's been six years and I haven't done so yet. It's easy to get complacent here as the housing is so incredibly cheap or at least where I live it is. Centennial Hills 2018 four-bedroom home for $1300 a month brand-new construction. Try finding that on the coast. Every day sunny and before you know it another year has passed. Anyway I like your post and the advice that I would give anybody living in Las Vegas but then again unfortunately for that matter mostly anyplace in this country but particularly Las Vegas is watch your wallet and grow eyes in the back of your head both literally and metaphorically. There's a lot of guys out here whose main job and goal is to work you over financially. As is the case for most US cities, Vegas was one hell of a whole lot better 40 years ago than it is today. There were 350,000 people here in 1983 and now it's over 2 million and I can tell you the quality of life is significantly worse but again you can say that about Los Angeles San Diego and probably most other cities. Las Vegas can be a scary place. Another sad thing I've noticed which may be the case in other cities I don't know, is that I can drive around my neighborhood and look at every single house and everyone has their shades drawn on every single window in the house. I don't see neighbors in the community getting together for barbecues or children playing outside. It looks like a ghost town though I'm certain all of these homes are inhabited but with the Blinds drawn it has the appearance of people hiding and cowering in their homes. This is not the feeling of a place that I had when growing up in my small town back east. Good luck

Comfortable in the summer -
12/28/2018The summer here in the Chandler/Phoenix area between June and September is very similar Temperature wise to the San Francisco Bay area in the Summer. Has much in common with the Northern Oregon coast during the summer months. Very low humidity and comfortable.

12/25/2018chinese is a crap culture. High rise living no class or elegance. The Japanese knew this in he 30's and saw them rightfully as mongrels and of inferior stock and crushed them militarily. I see why the more and more I am around the chinese. They are infesting Calif. and won't be content until the whole place is a polluted high rise mess version of Beijing.

12/25/2018This slant eye Hun commenting below going off on a rant is obviously one of those Asians you're talking about. I can't stand them. They ruined LA they are socially inept. Have basically no personality and I haven't seen a damn one of them that was good-looking. The women all look the same unattractive and strange looking skin. I've lived in Irvine unfortunately UC Irvine and all that I saw there was uninteresting homogeneous Asians. The lack of culture and personality seeps into the community. It's sterile and boring and safe and Stepford wives in an Asian kind of way. Mexicans are bad no doubt about it but at least this some personality there. Not much but something. The Asians bring nothing to the table. They're good at the STEM professions because they can click and submit quick but they are not able to formulate an interesting creative thought, and are basically droll dumb asses. Think of any good literature or poetry or music currently coming out of China. Nothing. They should really go back anyway because were going to have to beat the hell out of them in the next war. They're going to have to take sides one way or the other and from the looks of them in my interacting with them I don't think they're going to take the side of the US. They hear for the education and what they can take and that's it. Screw the Asians they suck.

12/24/2018You ask a lot of questions. An innumerable amount to be clear. I'm surprised you didn't ask how many meters Lancaster is from the center of the sun. You asked everything else. "Building my brand". That's funny. You should try working in a haberdashery. Coke vs Pepsi. Study on this and get back to us and let us know which brand you prefer.

re: Worst place in America

12/24/2018This has to be a joke post. Referring to San Diego as the best place to live in America is when I knew for sure that this post was insincere and meant to edejm102968@aol.com
garner a response. San Diego is horrible on so many levels that it's impossible to describe in one post. It's an oddball mix of very snooty on interesting unfriendly money money money that live in the beach towns like La Jolla and the rest is some sort of post-apocalyptic wasteland. If you're single and you've been out in Miami or New York at night and have some idea what nightlife really means, you could never say with a straight face that San Diego has good nightlife. There's also a very oddball military vibe going on there that just doesn't fit. ubur conservative, PTSD military types. They're all over the place down here. There are naval and army bases everywhere in the San Diego area and the retirees from the military just love this place. Cities with a large military presence both active and retired is a turnoff. Strange disaffected personalities that I personally am not drawn to. This a ton of other stuff bad about San Diego to. I could go on about the crushing traffic and the other poor quality of life issues but the one that stands out the most is it probably is in the top five most expensive cities to live in the United States but there's absolutely no rationale to spending $4500 a month for a one-bedroom apartment to be one block from the beach. Another misnomer that has been played up over the years and might have been true 30 to 40 years ago but not today is the girls. To compare the girls in San Diego with the girls in Miami/South Beach Miami is ridiculous. Now if you're a married 45-year-old with two kids this point will have no relevance to you put to any of the single guys out there reading this, Miami has hands-down the most beautiful women in the United States. Now mind you, you need to have some money to live well in Miami same as you do anywhere else but if you can afford a condominium in South Beach and you like going out at night you can have a seven night a week nightlife until 5 o'clock in the morning. Not saying you're going to want to do that but it's there. San Diego has the feel of an old dying military town. After 12 AM everything dies even the not so great bars in the gaslight district. Another advantage to Miami and one that people don't necessarily consider or know about is that Miami has several facets of water life that are interesting and fun. It's not just the Atlantic Ocean but also the bays and inlets and canals and the intercoastal waterway's. You can take your boat along the intercoastal from Miami all the way up for 100 miles from Miami all the way up north. The intercoastal is buttressed on both sides by land and their arrest runs and bars that you can stop at along the way to eat and drink and have a good time. Try doing that in San Diego. San Diego beaches like the rest of the California are one-dimensional. It's the ocean and that's it. California is one big desert that stops abruptly at the Pacific Ocean so you don't have the same degree of water life/nightlife/fun that you do in the waters around Miami Fort Lauderdale. You'll see hundreds and hundreds of jet skis out every day along the beaches and intercoastal waterway's in Miami. You'll see people waterskiing and sailing and power boating. You can fish take a day trip in your boat over to the Bahamas digest are 1001 things to do on and with the water in South Florida that you simply can't do in Southern California. You own a boat in Miami you drive around in a circle for half an hour and you come back. The water is too cold to swim in most of the year and if you want to go to a destination you're stuck with one singular place to go and that's Catalina Island which is way way off from San Diego probably 70 miles away but that's it. So if you're a boater and like water sports forget about it this just no comparison. So in summary girls, nightlife, water activities, Miami hands-down.

12/19/2018S.C overrated overprice and QOL downward for 40 years now. Us to be no AC needed but recently rented a guest house in La Jolla for an absurd amt of $. May throuth the socalled "Fall" didnt have a/c .."you dont need it here" routine from landlord. Itwas more miserable than Vegas in the summer. Santa Anas constantly brought temps close to 100 degrees for days on end. Hated it.
