Ok, I'm not bashing this fine state or its people. But I've never been to North Dakota before in my life. So what are some reasons someone would want to live here?
Hello Vu, surprisingly I have spent a lot of time in North Dakota (including a full semester of study at the university of Mary in Bismarck). For a French guy, it's odd! People there are very nice, no crime, good summer weather. It's a peaceful life, good public schools, with low unemployment and everything is CHEAP! You can get a really nice house for about $150K there. A guy who lived there his whole life told me once: When kids become teenagers, all they want is to leave ND, but once they become adults and get kids, all they want to to is go back there. You get attached to it somehow. cheers
$150k? Omg, I think I'm relocating. Just kidding, I love CA too much. But I am fed up with housing prices here in the Bay Area. Ugh.
Wow, thanks for sharing Antony. I think I'm going to have to put a visit to North Dakota on my life list of things to do. Being a native Californian, it's hard to imagine living where things are so much cheaper and the pace of life is slower. Perhaps when I'm a little older and ready to retire, I'll have a different perspective.
Nice people, open space, no traffic to deal with, low housing prices, low crime, plus they have the lowest unemployment rates in all of the U.S. at 3.7%. The only downside I see is that the weather there is not that great, they have very cold and harsh winter months.
