I live in LA and I love it.
Moved to LA 3 months ago. Amazing city.
Live where you’d like to vacation.
I’m west coast, spent my whole life going between Seattle and Portland.
Washington - has no income tax out of your paycheck, but anywhere near Seattle it’s 1 million for a house, food is expensive, sales tax makes everything expensive, jobs are plentiful, most of the state is beautiful, if 45 degrees and rain negatively affects you, you might wanna pick somewhere else. We get 2-3 months of summer and those months you can’t beat the PNW.
Oregon- Expect about 10% extra taken from your check, but no sales tax. Or none that you notice. It’s built into the prices for gas, cigs, alcohol. Items in stores are quite a bit cheaper in Oregon. House prices are reasonable, not cheap. You can get something decent in the suburbs for 450k range. Salaries tend to be less, but it’s also way cheaper than Cali or washington.
Hybrid strategy - establish residency in Washington, base your pay check from Washington. Then travel to Oregon to buy everything. I’ve had houses on both sides of the border at the same time and used it to my advantage. No sales tax on one side, no income tax on the other. It’s easy to maintain residency in Washington. It pisses off Washington, but the whole state does it.
If I had to pick Seattle or Portland. Portland is way better. Seattle would be a closer option if they had affordable housing. Also Seattle loses for night life. I’m pretty sure the census isn’t correct. It’s like 80% guys in that area. It was shocking. I suspect it’s due to H1B visa that wouldn’t be included in the census.
Portland because it’s the most amazing place I’ve ever been. I went on vacation last year and legitimately cried when I had to leave. Felt like home.
Tbh it depends on where you live now.
Literally zero mention of Boston in this thread?!
