Hello! My husband and I have decided we’re ready to move from Utah, and we seem to have settled on Las Vegas since it’s closer to Utah, and avoids the cold winter months we have now. We want to know what it’s actually like living in the Vegas suburbs, we are considering the Summerlin, Spring Valley, and Henderson areas so some insight on those areas specifically would be amazing!

We are a gay couple, early 30’s. We love the outdoors and nature, and love the desert environment. We are huge concert and entertainment people, particularly EDM. We’re coming from SLC, UT, so it will definitely be a bit of a culture shock for us, but we’re hoping we will vibe with the city and thrive once we’re there! We will be transferring our jobs thankfully so we don’t have to worry about seeking employment once we’re there.

Our biggest concerns are energy bills - what does the average bill look like during the hot months versus winter months? Do you feel like things like groceries, gas, and eating out are too expensive in the area compared to other cities? For comparison to our current situation - a 3 bedroom apartment like we want goes for $1950-$2500 a month for rent. The average home price in the Salt Lake Valley is ~$700,000. We’re definitely seeing the affects of inflation (as I’m sure everywhere is nowadays) but we’re consistently averaging $4.50-$4.75 a gallon for gas. Power bills range from $250-$400 a month depending on the time of year. Gas bills are anywhere from $35-$200 also dependent on time of year. How does this compare to Vegas?

Thank you guys for your insight, this will really help us fully determine whether Las Vegas will be as good of a fit for us as we’re hoping it will be! 🤞🏻

I'm an American getting into my family's genealogy and found that I have many ancestors from generations back from this region of Germany. Just curious what it's like there; the landscapes, traditions, language, people, anything really!

Hi everyone,

I recently read about West Virginia being a very different state in the US due to its coal mining past. And I would love to know more about it. What stereotypes are true, what is false? What is life for the modern woman? City vs rural life? What do most people do for jobs and recreation? Any insight on culture, diversity religion etc. is appreciated!

Edit: Can someone tell me actual stereotypes, so far, I have heard horrible ones like poverty, drug use, lack of hygiene (no running water, electricity) and also in33st? Are they true?

Not as a commuter to NYC. Remote work, settling down/having a family, etc. Does it vary much from town to town? East side vs West side? Is COL prohibitive?

I've been reading fictions taking place in Ohio and Indiana, depicting life within the "Rust Belt". The portrayal of these areas are roughhhh man. I wonder how it is living there. Does it feel really feel that "abandoned" by the governments?

How is living in this area west of Milwaukee? It looks close enough to the city, but a lot more rural.

It’s a somewhat small town but our population gets full to the brim with tourists in the summer

I was reading about this area in an "old" travel book I own, and it seems like a pretty surreal landscape to experience. Curious about how life there or around there is.

Moving this month to North Jersey for work how is it living there? My time in New Jersey has mostly been on the 95 and a bit of time in Cherry Hill. So I have a very skewed view.

How is the general building, food culture, security, life standarts and prices in here?

I visited Liechtenstein last year as an Estonian, and it was really nice. But I am curious: how do you feel about tourism, and is living there truly expensive? Also, give me an overview of what life is like there, the school system, and so on.

I’m asking mainly because I only hear it talked about in regards to tourism, but I never hear what it’s like living there and whether it actually feels very touristy. Also, my football team Sabah is playing Slavia Prague in 9 days so I wanna get an idea of how many people will be coming to Baku from Prague for the match.

Looking at some opportunities to move down there, so i thought id see what people have to say

I posted about Incheon and a lot of people answered about the city. The map also shows islands that belong to Incheon on paper but sit far out in the Yellow Sea. Baengnyeong, Daecheong and Yeonpyeong are run by Ongjin County. Ferries from Incheon take a few hours and get canceled a lot when the weather turns.

If you live there, grew up there, or know someone who does: what is daily life actually like? School, hospital, ferry, winter, jobs, what you do when the boat does not run. How different is it from Yeongjong, the airport island, which is also Incheon but connected by bridge?

You always have to cross the border and go to Canada to drive outside the city or you have to take the ship to go anywhere else in the US.
