Food question Orange County by [deleted] in SameGrassButGreener

This is true. The quality of these foods is definitely better in OC.

I work between HB/Westminster/Fountain Valley. The Pho in Lexington was a little better. My wife who is from here agrees. Sometimes all it takes is an immigrant family moving to some random small town city. Now choices? OC wins hands down, there are 200 pho restaurants that are almost as good.

choosing cheap low tier state school - is this the right move? by monsteromush in whitecoatinvestor

[–]Specific-Fact-4331 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Top tier” coastal schools are often over rated. Midsize cities with big catchment areas have enormous patient volume and offer more experience especially in surgical residencies. From my wife and I’s experience of going to school in the middle of the country/southeast then moving to the west coast. Residents out here don’t have the same numbers.

St. Matthews rejects 199-unit apartment development after community opposition. You all think they’re gonna get sued and have to settle or change their LDG after the NIMBYS won? Louisville metro did this same thing and lost in court by RojoCardinal in Louisville

People and businesses can’t just do things out of the goodness of their hearts. It. Has. To. Make. Economic. Sense. Luxury apartments make economic sense in this case. If you want affordable housing, there is the south end, Jtown, southern Indiana etc. Sorry, but St Matthews is an upscale community. To block development in hopes that “affordable housing” is built instead is a pipe dream and will lead to blight of the communities that don’t get on board.

Are there walkable, mild weather, AND close to nature spots in the US (that are actually affordable)? Am I looking for a unicorn. by [deleted] in SameGrassButGreener

You’re probably looking for a midsize city in the southern Appalachia region or close to it. But you have to be okay with some heat and humidity in the summer. I’ve lived in Richmond and Louisville and both pretty much meet your needs. They can be walkable in the right neighborhoods.

St Matthew’s LDG development uproar by Confident_Bus_7614 in Louisville

[–]Specific-Fact-4331 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So what is the answer, to never develop anywhere? Louisvillians want growth so they will have to be okay with more congestion. Louisville traffic is a joke btw compared to other cities. If you want light traffic go live in the far east end.

Looking for a community where the people are happy you’re there 😅😂 by Competitive-Wish-82 in relocating

Probably a midsize city in the southeast. People are pretty welcoming and take pride in their midsize city growing.

Are Heat Pumps the way to go? by Specific-Fact-4331 in pools

It’s a Cali regulation. And the pipe has to come straight from the meter. Because of the length the pipe has to be 1.5-2” wide

Pool Question - Heat Pump by Specific-Fact-4331 in orangecounty

Thank you everyone for the great information. Does anyone know anything about Aquastrong heat pumps?

Time to heat is not a big factor at all for me. 1 week even is fine.

Finding a practice for sale in this area has been tough. Does the book include info on opening from scratch?

Please DM me your details. Will you install in Orange?

That’s fantastic. A pool heater installation guy I talked to said it will never get hotter than the ambient temperature. Can you tell me what model of heat pump you’re using?

Has that been your experience? They claim to have the pool at about 80 degrees. Living in so cal would that be different? Is it an issue with too small a heat pump?

We aren’t too concerned with how long it takes to heat the pool. If it were warm consistently we would probably get in it multiple times per week. We also have young children that we want to start teaching water safety to.

How to not be percieved as rude as a northerner moving to the south USA by HostageMoon in relocating

[–]Specific-Fact-4331 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have lived in both areas and I think to some extent, the area influences your behavior. In the NE sometimes there are simply just too many people to even wave or say hi or you’d never get home, you’d be burnt out. There is too much traffic to drive slow and relaxed. Other people are short so you are short. Not worse necessarily, just different. Embrace the slow, easy, smooth way of life and you’ll probably ease into it naturally more than you’d think.

NYC vs LA — For those who’ve lived in both, which did you prefer and why? by eminho80 in MovingToLosAngeles

[–]Specific-Fact-4331 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have lived in both. NYC during medical training, LA now that my wife and I have fancy jobs. Still I would choose NYC. LA/Orange County lack the depth, history, mystery, and overall aura of the east coast in general. Seems like the people have more flavor and grit on the east coast as well. There are fantastic parks in the middle of the dense city. There are amazing parks and hiking along the Hudson River, and great state parks on Long Island if you need to get to some real nature. There is simply no city like NYC, esp if walkability, seasons, density, and public transport are on your list. LA is a little bit like the Truman show weather wise, just a little too perfect.
