Relocation advice, had it with AC area
Need suggestions for a place to move to. My girl and I live the AC area and we're tired of the condo life, traffic, rediculous insurance costs, taxes, weather and so on.
Here's my criteria: 1) Must have casinos w/ poker & table games. It's my industry, and I like to play poker B&M. This is critical - places with racetracks and slots only are no good. 2) Warm year-round. Ideally, no real cold or snow ever, but I can deal if it's mild. 3) Not in an area prone extreme weather such as tornados, hurricanes, volcanos, floods etc. (girl is paranoid about that kind of thing). 4) Somewhere safe + reasonably affordable. My girl and I are in the $140/year range together in southern NJ so we do okay. We appreciate that we may make somewhat less in other areas. To a lesser degree: 1) Has an NFL team somewhat local 2) Has a hockey team/any league at all 3) FRESH WATER lake - oceans need not apply 4) Commuting distace to metropolitan area We're cool with being near reservations or whatever... any help would be great, especially if you know specific suburban towns and areas....

Southern California is probably what youre looking for. Lots of casinos there, and very nice weather. Dunno about the fresh water lakes tho lol

Re: Relocation advice, had it with AC area
two important things to understand when coming out west from back east.
1. There are mountains out here and they help to create fresh water areas to fish. 2. The diversity of life both physically (mountains, ocean,etc..) and the individuals is grand. I would look into outside of san diego. Great city life with plenty of other things to do and an abundance of casinos in the area good luck
