Florida? Unless you have been there before and found a nice town, I dunno... No offense meant to any floridians, but that state has more than its fair share of problems and troubles. If you were to buy land in the US (as it is cheap right now if you have the dosh on hand) I would suggest either New England or pacific northwest (including northern Cali), or maybe even Ohio.. The only thing is, it seems like most of the best places to live in the US dont have the great weather you get in spain.. (IE, New england and pacific northwest (esp washington state) have weather more like England, and I am sure there are enough Britons on this board to remind you how much that sucks....)
But I digress, I like living in northern new england because of the people, even tho the weather is rather shitty...

I've got relatives who live in MA (Not going to spell it, I never get it right ;) ). Been there on holiday two times, and I love it there. It's also great that it's not spoilt by busloads of tourists....
What about Florida ? My niece is working there for a half year(part of her study), don't get me more worried than I already am ;)

I'd buy in Las Vegas right now.
Foreclosures are up and house prices are cheap, and low interest rates.
I cannot comment about Florida, but the weather here is great, and no big bugs flying around to make you run for cover. Humidity is low too.
Obviously you have the nightlife, but I like recreational sports, and we have nearly everything, except surfing. But Lake Mead makes some waves on a stormy day.
Beautiful houses, people and scenery. What else could you want? I won't comment too much about the UK (you might know my view on the subject) but it sure beats rain rain rain and cold anyday. ;D
My sister-in-law has just become a Realtor, and the houses I've seen are very impressive. One was $800,000.00 and is now $470,000.00 Plus a outbuilding to house at least 50 arcade cabs.
I've already started saving. :cheers:

There are definitely parts of MA that get busloads upon busloads of tourists. Salem gets thousands of tourists a day over the summer and maybe a couple hundred thousand tourists a night around Halloween.

I'm sure you can imagine how important tourism is to us on the cape (mass)
You have a slow summer and you're feeling it for the whole year...
If you ever visit during the off season, play the specials "ghost town" while driving down rt. 28. You'll understand.
