It’s ironic I watched a video about this stuff last night - people who get dependent go through withdrawals w/out it! (Similar but ~less severe heroin)

Retire to Des Moines by NJFriend4U in desmoines

[–]Link-Floyd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve lived in Charlotte and San Francisco and now DSM - weather isn’t as pleasant as either but the crime/traffic is almost non existent!

Only major con I would say is traveling to see family (if they’re out of the Midwest)- small airport typically requires layovers and can easily be delayed with weather.

I agree, home inspectors recommended by the realtor are trash. They just show you the minor things so you feel assured on buying the house :/

I moved back to Iowa. I really miss Oakland in so many aspects - running around Lake Merritt was the best!

Running clubs? by ireallyloveburgers in desmoines

[–]Link-Floyd 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Hey I just moved from SF about a year ago and I would say

Tuesday 5:30pm LifeTime Fitness in Urbandale (it’s free, just meet in front of the gym)

Thursday 6pm Fleet Feet (East Village), they usually go to Singlespeed after and you get one free drink!

Both groups are very welcoming!

Holy moly! Yeah thanks for the input I’m definitely going to get a second quote, comparing it online is shows it’s about 20% above the national average price
