So I'm moving from Victoria, BC. I'm not a Canadian, but hopefully before I leave I'll have my landed immigrant card. I'm moving in August, and I'm curious, where should I move to? I'm from San Antonio, TX. I was primarily born and raised there. I've lived in New Mexico a bit, and I like it there...TX, while I like because of nostalgic purposes and friends I have there, I don't really like the place as a whole.
I was thinking of San Antonio for sure mainly because of all the friends I have there, but a majority don't inspire me creative wise, but a couple would probably like to collab with me on some projects. Though I decided to think of other places when I was chatting with celibacyclub. He recommended Portland, but I asked about rent and wasn't so sure. So here I am, what are some relatively cheap places to live and a number of people in the em scene to keep me company? I'll have a few thousand in the bank hopefully before I move so that'll help me get on my feet etc.
So where in the US should I move?

Portland.
Minimum wage is higher here, so it's not as difficult as it may seem to afford the housing.... especially if you're willing to live with roommates.

Yeah, definitely move here.
More adult bookstores per capita than anywhere else.

fuck off, our traffic is bad enuff already.
plus you have to mix emo and hippie together into a horrible style that cannot be defined before living here.
Move somewhere with a cool name, like Suqamish. Or Sequim. Or West Seattle.

Actually: the rule is:
To live in portland, you must first kill a portlander.
Circle of life.

player2,
nah, my girlfriend is French and she's going back to France so I'll be solo. Portland sounds like a sweet destination, it'll just be weird since I've never made a big move like this without a social foundation (i.e. university or past friends) to support me.
I'll keep listening to the advice posted here...I'm all ears.
