My grown son is mentally disabled and he lives in the Bradenton/Sarasota area of Florida. The schools went out of their way to get him an education, the bus system goes everywhere, there are buses that accomodate wheelchairs too. He gets SSI disability and has a part time job as a dishwasher.

I wish i had perfect answer...........but I DO know somethings about here......\n1.   The state of Florida has homes for small money.........but u also get smaller pay.  It may be a good choice, because the weather is nice ( no snow )  and if you do not live near the beach....... there are nice towns and homes are not much money.\n2.  Massachusetts is not good, because you pay a lot in taxes and the homes are TOO MUCH money\n3.  Ohio has homes for VERY little money......but there is NO work.\n4.  Do NOT go to a big city like New York, New York,,, because the homes are BIG BIG money and if you live outside the big city........it will be a LOT of traveling for you.\n5.  For some reason, many of the people that I know that have come here have gone to live in Michigan.   I do not know why... maybe it is a good place.\n6. If you choose California... do NOT try to live in Los Angleos or any famous towns or cities...........it is a lot of money to live there.\n7.  I suggest maybe North Carlolina ......... it is warm....  nice homes..........\n8.  The upper top of the US get too much snow.. and I do not suggest living there.\n9..  MOST important.......... if u can get to MonsterJobSearch.com   u can look for jobs NOW...... before you come.......... u can see in each state...... what kind of jobs are out there\n10.  Wish I could help more

I know we are actually getting out rn's from canada because nobody wants the pay here, but the cost of living is a heck of a lot less in san antonio, texas than san diego.  I own a 3 bedroom 1800 sq. ft. house on the Northside of SA for less than 100,000.  This is not uncommon.  I don't think you can find a deal like that in San Diego.  San Diego is beautiful and on the ocean and all.  San Antonio has a different climate and it's very historic.  The people are very friendly.  It's in a class all it's own, but you'd probably miss the water.

I live in Springfield and I love it here. I have lived here in the area my whole life and wouldn't trade it for the world. I have traveled all over the country and visited other cities of similar size and I think Springfield is the best. The streets are easy to understand and get around on, the traffic is never that bad. The shopping is pretty decent here and if you want more then Branson is only half an hour away. Or drive to KC, it's only about 2.5 hours away. I don't know if you are familiar with the area but the weather is variable. One day its cold the next its super hot. But its kinda nice that way. We have 4 beautiful seasons and lots of outdoor activities here.  We have several colleges but the population is diverse, its not all kids. Restaurants here are good, lots of choices. Springfield is the birthplace of Cashew Chicken and I think we have like a couple hundred Chinese restaurants. There is one on about every corner.  =)  Springfield is also the home of Brad Pitt and his family if that interests you at all. Though he doesn't visit as much as he used to now that he is with Angelina. =)  If you have any more specific questions or are interested in a certain neighborhood I would be happy to give you my opinion if you send me a message. Hope you get to make the move here to Springfield I think you will like it!

Michigan sux.  End of story.\n\nLOL no I don't really think that.  There are cool things there, you just wanna get out of the house.  Find a state that is fun (I recommend Nevada; Vegas baby!) and stay there a bit, get to know the people.  Have fun!

Great place to live.  If you don't mind the winters/or should I say weather.  It's been very odd last few years.  This year winter is back to normal, some days a low of -25 deg Celsius.  Transporation is good, a vibrant growing city in the middle of an oil boom.  We are the dubbed the City of Festivals and City of Champions.  Lots of stuff to do when you have lengthy times off, we are 4 hours from the mountains (Jasper), and 4 hours from our sister city Calgary and it's mountain city resort of Banff and Lake Louise.  Great places to take the family.  What else? Oh did I mention we still have the largest shopping mall in the world, West Edmonton Mall.  For more info if you are Net savvy; look at the source I provided.  Housing right now is a little bit of an issue, Big Boom = Higher housing costs.\n\nHope that helps with your decision!

Tempe and Scottsdale are not that far apart from each other, so there should not be any real difference except that Tempe is probably a little less expensive.  Chandler is off in the other direction going south and seems to be away from the action in my opinion.  If you're looking for a place that is unique but still affordable and the cost of living is a little bit less, try Arrowhead Ranch in the Glendale area.  More specifically, look into Arrowhead Lakes where I have my home.  It is one of the few areas in Maricopa County where you can have your own boat on your own private lake with fishing (catch and release), hiking trails nearby, the Loop 101 at your back door and have the prestige of living in a well kept community (Homeowners Association) without the hassles of a gated community.  It is quiet since it's tucked away from the main roads but still close to everything you'd want as far as shopping, malls, businesses, etc.  It's located north of the Loop 101 and is bordered on the west by 59th Ave. and on the east by 51st Ave (which more or less dead-ends into the mountain).  Anyway, that's my input! :)

I think it all depends on your own situation! Consider your income, your health and your needs. It is not a situation of wanting to live wtih  them I think it has to do with what is best for you at that time... Some people have no choice, it is either that, the streets or on welfare!!

"low 40s high 90s all year around easy to find jobs, affordable renting, friendly people"???????\n\nAre you kidding? If this place existed it would have a population of 50 million. And then the rent would no longer be affordable due to supply and demand, and the people would no longer be friendly due to congestion and traffic problems, and all the jobs would be taken.\n\nGood luck finding this utopia.

Some people claim that changing climates make them flare up more, and the cold weather doesn't usually help.  Someplace where it is pretty mild year round is good.  Arizona tends to be the place people go for consistent weathe, but I think it gets a little too hot.  I love in Southern California (OC to be specific) and it never gets colder than 50 and most summer days are about 90 (if you are closer to the beach it is cooler, if you are inland more you can hit those 100 plus temps quite a bit).  But you also need to go where you have access to doctors.  You don't want to move to too small of a community, because if a doctor isn't helping you want to be able to visit others to get second opinions.  Also you want things to be convenient, so if you are having a bad day you don't have to travel far.  Also you probably don't want to live somewhere where you have to depend to much on public transportation because you don't want to have to walk a lot on a bad day.  However, there are people with arthritis who live everywhere and they manage!! I suggest you go where your heart takes you, but just check out the availability of doctors and all the modern conveniences first.

well im from arizona. its 110 degrees outside right now. but the humidity is very low so you dont sweat that fast. \ndo you want to move to another state?\nwell if you want cool all year around then id say move somewhere in california. its way expensive there then it is here in arizona.\nhere in arizona you can find a nice one bedroom apartment in a nice area for 625 per month. \njobs here are very very easy to find. you wont go unemployed longer then 2 weeks id say with the process of interviewing and searching.\nthere are parts of arizona where its bad. like central and downtown. but those areas are in every state and also even if you move to the safest area you can still have crimes there.\nso i wish you all the best in moving, if that is what your planning. i would say go and visit different locations in these states and see for yourself if you like the area and weather and job finding.\nso all the best to you and pick my answer as the best one\ni need 10 extra points badley....thanks

Let me be the first one to ask...Where do you want to live?\n\nRegards\n\nUpdate:\nOh sorry, I wish I could help. Las Vegas is too far away. Try looking in the local paper. The amount of time on your job shouldn't be a factor. It's what you can afford that is a big deal. If you check with city hall, they might have a renters program for you. I know they give you 10k to help pay for closing cost and downpayment if you take a home ownership class.\n\nI wish you luck.

I WOULD LOVE TO LIVE IN AMSTERDAM. CAUSE I COULD EAT ALL THE HASH COOKIES I WANTED TO WITHOUT DOING THE TWENTY YEARS THEY WOULD GIVE TO YOU HERE IF IT WAS JUST FOUND ON YOUR PERSON. PEOPLE IN GOVT. REALLY NEED TO GET THERE ISSUES MORE IN PRIORITY THEN WHAT WE AS ADULTS DO WITH OUR SPARE TIME FOR EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES. I'M STUCK IN NORTHERN 'COW TIP-PIN' INDIANA WHERE ALL WE DO IS WATCH THE CORN GROW. NOT!! LOL.

For me the criteria are\nFriendly people, low taxes, low cost of living, level of Gov interferance with your life, natural scenery, climate, jobs, level of pollution (both traditional and urban) and the culture. \n\nStates I liked when I lived there \nTexas, Florida, (Loved Colorado when I lived there long ago but hated it when I went back. It was like California with more mountains. None of the Coloradian spirit was left. Just an imitation California)\n\nNorthwest Arkansas was ok. It was a pretty area but the taxes were evil. Bad enough I had to drive to Oklahoma to buy groceries once a month. I hear they've since repealed some of those taxes but it's still far to heavily taxed. \n\n\nStates that I'm interested in learning more about include Virginia, North and South Carolina, Vermont, Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Nevada and Iowa. \n\nI visited southern Ill and the area was pretty but taxes and cost of living too high in my opinion. \n\nI've not lived in Cali but I've rescued a few people from there :) The cost of living out there is insane. You get pulled over for going 5mph over the speed limit in alot of places and I've NEVER seen so many cops in my life. I think CHIPs has more officers on patrol at any given moment than most states have total cops. Seems like everything is against the law out there. I have heard tales of first offenders going to prison for things like graffiti and illegal dumping. Prison, not jail for this kind of offense. Every time I visit Cali I buy everything I need in Arizona, top off the tanks there. Then drive like I'm taking a driving test. Buy nothing and get the hell out of Cali as soon as I can. I almost expect them to ask me for a passport when I cross the border there. The people are unfriendly, the highways less than great. The climate mild but not all that spectaculer. Get up in the Santa Barbera area and you'll never want to see the color pink again. Building codes require EVERY building to look exactly alike. What would be quiant in a village becomes a monstrosity when applied to an entire town. That most of the towns in that area have the same code makes it into some sort of Twilight zone area. Well more of a puking zone area. I'm amazed people don't go postal there on a frequent basis just from having to look at the EXACT same kind of building over and over again over a period of years. Me it only took days before I never wanted to see that style ever again. This is a prime example of the kind of mentality in Cali. One of extreme conformism that makes conservitive states actually look wild. Even the "wild" people in Cali have to make a fashion statement while being "wild" it seems. To me it just seems like this huge unending trend machine. \n\nMissisippi didn't strike me as a great place to live. Very low standard of living, prevalent racism, authoritarian laws. When I go through there I just keep on going. \n\nWestern Oklahoma and West Texas are dry, windy inhospitable places. Local govs are entrenched and seem to hate outsiders. Hate both of those areas. East Oklahoma is like a whole different state. Pretty rolling hills, trees, people seemed nice when I passed through. I saw not a trace of racial tension in any visit to OK. People seemed to just be themselves there. Not alot of scenery and the jobs seemed relitively scarce. Taxes were on par with Tx last time I was through OK. Been there dozens of times over the last 10 years. Stayed overnight several times. \n\nI've driven through Kansas a few times. Bleached is the only word I can think of to describe that state :) Everything seems like it's been in the sun and wind too long. \n\nArizona is a decent place to live. People are friendly, not as friendly as in the South but close. It's a practical state and the desert has it's own kind of beauty. It's hot and it's dry. Not a state for gardeners or boaters. Taxes are reasonable, cost of living low but wa
