Att. Peeps in Wisconsin, Tennessee, Georgia, Massachusetts, and Michigan

[Skink]

I may need to move to one of these states in the very near future... I am looking for a suburb close to a city with a respectable crime rate... I plan to maybe get a studio or apt in the city while I search for a small house in a suburb... I may not have a license to drive,,,but my goal is to have one... I would also like to grow a little so it would help if the laws were lax or not vigorously prosecuted... another thing would be affordability as I will need time to establish and may take on any type of employment to live,,, so there must be jobs that I may have easy transportation or be able to walk to...

Wisconsin, Tennessee, Georgia, Massachusetts, and Michigan

Thank for any info and names of places so I may search house and rental info...

why one of these states, they seem sorta spread out.

Western Massachusetts -the Pioneer Valley specifically-has a GREAT public transportation system and a killer cultural scene... look up Amherst, Northampton, Springfield, Greenfield, Holyoke. These cities and towns together, plus a bunch of other smaller ones, make up a really nice area with lots of colleges and all sorts of amenities. The laws are strict in this state ATM but our new governor is pro-decriminalization. And anyway you can grow outdoors around here like a CHAMP. lol. Anyway email me if you want more specific info. I grew up in the Valley and think it's the cat's ass.

As for the others, I was actually considering a move to MAdison WI myself... pretty town, nice atmosphere, good job prospects for a nerd like me. But that's not happening now, I intend to move to Alaska in a couple years instead.

Oh skinkers, here's links to a couple housing databases:
UMass Amherst: Commuter Services and Housing Resource Center
Classified Ads from The Recorder - Greenfield, Massachusetts

Prices on the bus routes are higher since the students compete.

In Wisconsin, Madison is your only real viable choice. The rest of the state is VERY redneck on growing, etc.......

Good luck!

Have a good one!:jointsmile:

I live in Michigan right outside Detroit in a suburb. Michigan is a good place to live. But you honestly will need a job BEFORE movin to Michigan if you plan too. We have I think the highest unemployment rate in the country. But its mostly Detroit. In honesty Detroit sucks, besides the sports and suburbs. There are also many cool places in Detroit to go, but they just closed down 34 schools, everyones movin out. And im not tryin to be racist but the black people have no idea what they are doing there. And you never hear anything about the mayors. Besides spendin the cities money on their personal belongings.

Michigan is relativly cheap if you got a good job. The suburbs are awsome. Another suggestion would not be Detroit but mayby Ann Arbor. Better crime rate, allright transport, and its the only lax place in Michigan about weed. Its like a 50$ fine, and thats really it. But I do not know about Growing. But Ann Arbor still has its bad spots. But not like Detroit.

Overall Michigan aint a bad choice IMO. The weather sucks in the winter. Hell its still 25 degrees right now in april. But the summers can still get hot. And you got the great lakes to vacation too, go snowboardin/skiiin in the winter. I dunno im stoned and almost forgot what I was talkin about. Any more info ill b e sure to help.

Hey Stinky I remember you were from Mass... it would be the easiest haul for me,,,but I am worried because just like my state it is an expensive place to live... Thanks for the info!!!

P4B I kinda thought there would be few options out there,,,but i like the rural aspect...

I've been hearing very bad things about the job market in Mich. too because of auto plant closings.

Edit: skink, I shot you an email.

I will do some searching into Ann Arbor I am so used to not locking my doors... when I looked at Mich I looked up the demographics,,, I see a way higher crime rate than the national average,,,especially Detroit and Flint areas...

Detroit and Flint were in top 5 most dangerous cities a year or so ago along with St. Louis, Compton, and one other.
