Las Vegas, Nevada!

- super cheap cost-of-living

- no state income taxes

- cheapest flights in the US

- no natural disasters

- close to Los Angeles (where all my friends/family live)

- no grafitti or litter in most places

- reasonable traffic

- plenty of things to do (shows, Red Rock, conferences)

- friends from across the US will visit once or twice per year

- lots of open space

But I guess the REAL reason I moved is because I wanted a chance to reinvent myself. My friends weren't helping me grow, I developed some terrible habits, I felt "trapped", etc.. Changing cities gives me another chance to be intentional about my time, career, and relationships.

If there are any other current/future Vegas locals out there, I'd love to meet you! Feel free to reach out with an email or DM.

I just dropped my group of friends of 25 years because all they talk about is going out drinking. Even the one that just bought a house, is married, has small child and another one on the way. All they want is to hanh out drinking beers. like multiple times a week. That shit ain't normal lol. And I agree, Vegas ticks all the boxes.
