Topic: Anyone else planning to move during Spring/Summer 2013? (Read 7480 times)

I hope to move over during Spring/Summer 2013 after graduating from Cal State University with a Bachelors in Economics. I'm a twenty year old male Californian. Is there anyone else who plans to move around the same time? I suspect it'll be a major culture shock, seeing that California is not only the left-wing state but also home to a culture different from the rest of the country. So I'd like to see if I could coordinate moving around the same time as a few others so that we can all support one another while adjusting to things.

I am in central cali ( born and raised ) and am planning on moving my family (wife and 2 kids) next year. We are going to be selling most of our stuff, buying an rv and doing a cross country family road trip. I am hoping to fly out there a couple times and locate a house with a couple acres. I at first was planning on around 100 or so acres but feel having a more "enclosed 2-5 acres" to make more sense for me in NH.
What area are you looking at? I am searching right in the middle area of keene and manchester.

I'm looking at Manchester myself. I live in the San Fernando Valley, and used to live in LA proper, so I'm accustomed to a degree of urbanization.
If I'm not mistaken I think a fellow free stater intends to buy several acres and make a farm. You might be interested in that.

Early next year is my plan. Nothing to hold me in Jersey with Lisa gone, all I have to do is get the paperwork done and dump this house. Though born and raised around L.A. (mostly out near the OC border between Norwalk and La Mirada, I moved to New Hampshire at 15 (1970) to live with my grandmother. Later wound up spending most of the 80s back in L.A., but I've been in New Jersey twenty years now.
My target zone is Laconia, my home town. But I intend to be all over the state cooking and selling chili in a food truck.

If your looking to sell food out of a truck Manchester seems like the best area to me. You'll have quick access to all the major areas in NH from there. |

Oh you've lived in both Socal and New Hampshire. What do you find is the major difference between the two that take getting used to? |

My sisters, most of their spawn and grandspawn live there. While I'll visit once in a while (covering sporting events and such), Laconia is more central so I can cover Loudon races, Bike Week (started as a weekend in the 60s, now seems to be two weeks), the ski areas in winter, the killing fields during the several hunting seasons, and hanging out wherever the leaf-peepers go. But my most common visits to Merrimack County will be because my preferred general practitioner is in Hollis. |

Oh you've lived in both Socal and New Hampshire. What do you find is the major difference between the two that take getting used to? When I was 15 in 1970, moving from Whittier to Laconia at the end of summer, I'd seen snow four times in my life. I'd had to go up the mountains to see it and it was usually melting. Then I saw snow four more times. It showed up around Thanksgiving and went away after Easter. The extreme low temp in Laconia my first winter, as measured by Grandma's recording thermometer, was 33 below zero Fahrenheit.. So the physical climate took some getting used to. The cultural climate? People in New Hampshire are nice. Unlike most of the urban Californios I've known over the years. Yes, there are some nice people in Los Angeles and there are some assholes in New Hampshire. But the balance is different. One thing I had to deal with in the early 70s is no longer a factor, and that's the food. Back when I was in high school, pizza was about as ethnic (and spicy) as you could get. Nowadays there's a nice little Thai restaurant next door to that high school. |

My target time is next May. My first choice would be in planting zone 6 and I will be looking in the western part of the state because western zone 6 is more rural than eastern zone 6. rank420 and I have similar interests so we will work together.
I'm moving alone, from Maine but it is still a long distance, so I'm open to us supporting one another by sharing a house if that is what you mean. I hardly work overtime so I'm happy to help people with chores at times. If we start an agorist village I'd like to try as a farmer. If I don't get a hundred acres I'd be thrilled to make deals with non gardeners who have yard space, and maybe it would be easier to make those deals with like-minded neighbors. (Is that called sharecropping?)

I think it would be a blunder for us to bid on the same properties. So how dose this work? (For those of us who may need to split bills.) Do those of us with the most financial security become group captains, and and then the rest of us join the groups based skill set need and compatibility, then each group looks for a property that fits them? If we do that then I'll here start a group looking for farmable land. Maybe call it rural-one-2013... Hey rank420, might you'd like to join this group? I understand that you already have a family so this group arrangement might not work for you, but maybe you and this group could be mutually beneficial even if we don't share a house.
If anyone has any input or interests just PM me and I'll give you my phone number.

Any place but Jersey though. Someone offered me a job in Jersey once and the reason I gave for refusing was NJ was a crappy state to live in. The funny thing was they said it was a good reason! |

I'd really really like to move around that time, also from California, but realistically it's probably not going to happen. It's just a matter of how I'll scrape together the funds, since I'm 18 with no real work experience and I live in a Godforsaken jobless hellhole.
Interestingly, I'm also looking at moving to Manchester for similar reasons; that is, I want a relatively big city. I grew up in Orange County, and while I don't like THAT much urbanization, a little is definitely a plus.
