How's the weather in Vermont? Me and my two BFFs were talking about which state we'd want to move to if we ever moved and we all independently came up with Vermont.

I can't speak that well for Vermont (only visited once) but in western Maine/New Hampshire at a similar latitude, summers are warm but very unpredictable, while January in Maine was the coldest I've ever been.

Why don't you just move north and in general experience nearly the same pay as the west coast, often significantly lower cost of living; as well as much better public transit? And states that don't have insane restrictions on normal taxes (property tax bs in Cali, that bizaree taxpayer "bill of rights" poo poo in oregon that prevents retaining surplus tax revenue to the state, or Washington's no income tax but high other taxes to make up for it)?

Because the north blows goats and is full of jerks and insufferable wannabes. The north wasn't even cool until southerners started migrating there, and only then barely.

I haven't looked into it extensively because it's a pipe dream for me until I save up the money to do it, and as long as I'm dreaming there might as well be Cali beaches in it. If/when it comes to the point of actually moving out of state I'll consider my options much more carefully.

No, I'm just truthfully stating that the north, in fact, is not good.

If I wanted to live in an expensive place full of bad people I would at least choose the place where it doesn't snow. That's just basic common sense.

Just move to Portland*, it's a cheap place full of bad people and it only snows once every five years**.

Here's an extremely low stakes gender question but why do you think that men and women have different handwriting? Like, I bet I could with 90% accuracy determine whether something was written by a man or a woman, just in terms of penmanship. Are girls taught differently in elementary or something? I'm trying to think of a variable that would account for it, but it would have to be something social or cultural, right?

I mean, it varies widely with what city you're in, but generally speaking, the cost of living in the Northeast doesn't favorably compare with many places.

And there are crazy state-level politics no matter where you are. I mean, yeah, Washington's tax structure sucks, but at least we've legalized pot and euthanasia, and we don't count tips towards people's pay for the purpose of minimum wage.

I just figure it's cultural; we make girls write in a way determined to be aesthetically prettier instead of just letting them communicate. It has to be a performance, too.
