Bontz Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Let me put it a different way @Crnr2Crnr, if so many "rich smart people" lived in these places why are they mostly considered a shit hole by many, including the people who DO live in/near those areas? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't live in NYC, Chi-town or even Mps/StP for any reason or amount of $ or to be near 'family'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deephaven Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Not hard to get just a wee bit away from it and have a completely different experience. Living on Lake Minnetonka feels nothing like you are in a city, but can get anything/anywhere you want in 20min pretty much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voodoo Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 There was a time when you didn't need an Ivy league education, or the bank of mommy and daddy to aspire to home ownership. What you needed was the drive to go to work, work hard, don't stick y'er junk in every ho in d'a hood and vote for people who think likewise. Those days times been stolen from you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
