From the midwest,south? You'd need more than that to cover the bump in housing and taxes -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 22, 14:05
To New York, never, to another part of California...I'd consider it. -- nm - IrishStephen Mar 22, 09:35
ummmmmmm -- nm - ty97 Mar 22, 09:30
I'm pretty happy in DC, but I guess LA is possible. Not much interest in SF or NYC. -- nm - MDH Mar 22, 09:16 3
- We are never talking again. -- nm - ty97 Mar 22, 09:30 2

    - meh, MDH is DTM -- nm - ty97 Mar 22, 09:39
More seriously, it depends where. 50% more would be good for large swaths of the states, but not NYC (I probably could make do in Staten Island) -- nm - crash davis Mar 22, 09:16
California: Maybe. New York: No. Chicago? Probably. -- nm - David Mar 22, 09:16 2
- just think of how much fun we can have!!!! -- nm - groiny Mar 22, 09:20 1
  - You can point out colors to David and he can carry your defibrillator. You'd be unstoppable! -- nm - crash davis Mar 22, 09:23
I wouldn't relocate to NY. I wouldn't move that far from my elderly dad. -- nm - jnine Mar 22, 09:16
Sure. -- nm - Diva Mar 22, 09:14
Sure, there's places in California that would be cheaper overall and still be great. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 22, 09:14
I own my business. If I was guaranteed 50% more net and also adjusted to COL I would consider some parts of CA. -- nm - Spawn Mar 22, 09:13 3
- I interpret as you get the raise, not the COL, which is why this is interesting. -- nm - MDH Mar 22, 09:16 2
  - Actually, upon reflecting upon it the answer is no. Even if the income was 2x as much. I would not make Logan move. -- nm - Spawn Mar 22, 09:17
  - Correct. -- nm - Strongbad Mar 22, 09:16
Either, depending on exactly where in each state though. -- nm - znufrii Mar 22, 09:13
maybe CA, not a chance for NY -- nm - groiny Mar 22, 09:12
Sure -- nm - JD Mar 22, 09:12
Considering what I do in life (video editor), yes for CA, though I have no real interest in living in the US permanently -- nm - Guigue Mar 22, 09:11
Yes, but I would take a flat $ increase instead. (NM) - Marlowe Mar 22, 09:11
absolutely -- nm - decline Mar 22, 09:11

NYC - yes. SF/SD - probably. LA - I would have to go check it out first, but no immediate reason not to. -- nm - Roger More Mar 22, 09:10
since the relocation to CA is just outside of Sequoia national park & the NY relocation is to ty's apartment, I chose CA -- nm - crash davis Mar 22, 09:10 2
- Go for outside of Yosemite, it's prettier. -- nm - jnine Mar 22, 09:16 1
  - It crossed my mind, but also the much larger crowds. If I move outside of a park then I won't want to share it so much. -- nm - crash davis Mar 22, 09:18
In my profession, not a chance - Reagen Mar 22, 09:10 1
- But.. but.. Think of the guns!!! (NM) - Marlowe Mar 22, 09:13
i wouldn't move to the US at all right now. If it was a 50% increase to move to another province, still only a maybe. -- nm - Andie Mar 22, 09:10 4
- Oh Andie, Hey Andie....you're gonna love me. -- nm - Winnipeg, waving money Mar 22, 09:11 3
  - Glancing at the cost of real estate there, i'd be rich! -- nm - Andie Mar 22, 09:13 2
    - sell your place, move into Dignan's basement, you'll be rolling in the dough -- nm - crash davis Mar 22, 09:14 1
      - Rolling in ...something. -- nm - Spawn Mar 22, 09:21
