I was in Philly this weekend. I really don't enjoy cities but Philly is pretty cool and their china town is totally better then NYC's.

haha san fran chinatown rocks. NYC china town is nasty. Have you ever seen it in the Gremlins?

tinser Jul 19, 2004

yeah, cisco's chinatown is awesome...way cleaner

socalgal Jul 20, 2004

yeah it is. SF is a mini NYC

tinser Jul 20, 2004

maybe that's why i like it so much....san francisco is one of those places i would really love to live (just like the tanners!)

socalgal Jul 20, 2004

oh yeah me too, becasue it has that east coast feel, but on the west side

tinser Jul 20, 2004

totally...hey, do you know if real estate there is notoriously expensive like san diego and la?

socalgal Jul 20, 2004

its more so. you're looking to pay close to $1M for a condo

tinser Jul 20, 2004

woah! thats insane...oh well...guess i won't be living there in the near future

modestjesse Jul 20, 2004

rent. I'd never be able to afford real estate in hawaii. not anytime soon anyway.

tinser Jul 20, 2004

yeah, i just hate seeing money disappear when you could have it going somewhere...like towards a mortgage

I hear ya, when I first got married we were renting an apartment for like $660 a month, and we thought the same way you did. So we bought a house and was paying $1280 a month and our taxes were like $6000 a year, worked out a lot better to know we were going to have something to show for it. After I left the house I was paying $1005 a month and wanted to vomit. It's sad to see all that money wasted and have nothing to show for it. But in Hawaii I'll be doing rent again and who knows, maybe one day I'll find something, but rent for now. Who knows what you'll come into. Get out of NY it could be a nice change for you. :)

yeah, i'd like to try something different....i don't want to live in NY the rest of my life just by default....if i'm gonna live here...i want it to be because i've experianced other things and made a choice
