Only bad thing is the cost of living, including housing... and have to travel long distance to conferences.

I don't see why a large Asian population would be considered a bad thing.... :confused:

AC + Pool = profit.
It's not that bad IMHO. I'd take 9 great months over 2 or 3 any day.

Not until the city and schools have to start posting signs and sending out newsletters in Asian languages since a lot of people in my city don't speak any English. Add to the fact that the city had to enforce much tougher laws against businesses and allowing new licenses since they were afraid of Asian strip malls.

Before you shout out "BAN BAN BAN" against me, you have to understand that my city prides itself on being an older type of city with a unique atmosphere in what is now a Southern California that is replete with new sub/urban communities and tract housing.

Traffic and crappy roads
Heat - especially humidity
Nothing to do

-West end of Richmond, VA

I go to college in southwest VA and I LOVE it there compared to being here.

Though, I suspect winter will surpass that when the time comes.

I met Micheal Moore twice, once at borders and once when he visited my school...He's not actually from Flint, BTW, he's from Davison which is like 20 miles away...
