Date: October 18th, 2017 3:12 AM Author: stirring party of the first part newt Dude could have stayed in buffalo working for some mid law firm around his friends and family, going to bills games, big yard to rake in autumn, shovel in winter and mow in summer. He probably settles down with a wide hipped white 6 who has the same cultural background as him. White babies with Bills beanies. Parents helping to babysit. House on one of the finger lakes where they go tubing every summer.
Instead he's married to a FOB gook who screams at him in chink while he bills from a garage in northern california. Why the fuck is he there? Why did these two ever meet? Why is his dad dying alone thousands of miles away? All because gc whispered in his ear when it realised he was a 98th percentile test taker and was capable to grinding out exams.
Very sad case. |

Date: October 18th, 2017 6:02 AM Author: Bateful ticket booth The truth is that if JK's parents wanted to see him they could. Same's true of my parents. They're literally sitting at home watching cable news and cable procedurals and choose that every day over their kids. Bay area isn't cheap, but old people should have less space anyway, and if they really wanted to be close they would sell their house and find something smaller here that's short driving distance. I have friends with parents that did this, and this is exactly what my wife's parents would do if we move. But when my parents come to visit they are happy to see me for like a day, and psyched to see my kids, but by day 3 they're ready to be back at their house. They don't want to be changing diapers or witnessing every toddler meltdown, and they don't want me to make a bunch of memories of them as weaker, less virile people who are winding down. They also like, on some level, that I feel guilty and they can hold it over my head when they want to. I think if they had things set up in their ideal configuration it would be us 3 hours away so that they never had to travel to see us, and we could come visit them every other month or so, and on every holiday. But the "12 times before you die" toxicthreading on this bort is covert boomer propaganda disguised cleverly as GC bashing. Boomers want to boom.

Date: October 18th, 2017 8:57 AM Author: razzle-dazzle parlour This is utter shit. There are usually other children besides yourself - so no point in moving directly where you are. And it's hard for older people to pack up and move to a place like SF.
The ready to leave after 3 days thing is only if they have to stay with you - if you are in same town or within a couple of hours, this isn't an issue.
The holding it over your head and seeing them weaker part: Sounds like you just have relationship issues with them. |

Date: October 18th, 2017 9:54 AM Author: Bateful ticket booth You're trying to argue this at the level of the details of whatever particular family you have in mind. I was talking specifically about JK's and mine, and generalizing about boomers overall. Of course if my dad was a retired mechanic and had to count every penny our situation would be different. If I had a twin brother with young kids who lived near them obviously that would change things. There may well be reasons why a specific boomer is less culpable, but the premise of all the 12 Times Before You Die threads is that poor sweet boomer parents just sit at home all day waiting by the phone in case you call and that's idiotic. They are adults who make their own choices and often times they freely choose golf and their bridge club over seeing you. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3767398&forum_id=2#34469316) |

Date: October 19th, 2017 10:23 AM Author: Magenta Laser Beams Garrison This is bad advice.
> but old people should have less space anyway,
You don't seem to have a sense of how expensive bay area is. Even a studio apartment in a decent area rents for like $2300. Here is the rate sheet for one where I lived: http://www.caprop.com/property/camille-north-apartments/more-info-2/
> they would sell their house
Sell their house which is likely paid off and step into the vagaries of bay area rental market? Are you crazy? And what happens when they run out of money?
This is just ... I mean I feel like you are retarded. You have zero financial sense. There are better ways to spend time with the grand kids. Perhaps fly down once a year and rent a corporate apartment for a year. |

Date: October 20th, 2017 12:06 AM Author: Bateful ticket booth Oh yeah olds should just do rent a studio in the middle of Mountain View or Palo Alto and compete with all the google, apple and facebookfags for a place to rent that shows off how hard they strive. That's exactly what I meant, you pathetic moron.
They're olds. They should move somewhere cheap 1-3 hours away where they would have good quality of life. There are plenty of safe neighborhoods with nice, small houses up in Napa and the surrounding area. The schools are bad and the commute to any job in the city is terrible, but it's a great spot to retire.

JK is American - you guys don't have the closest families, no offense. Even if he'd stayed in Buffalo, he'd probably only see his folks once or twice a month and slowly lose contact with his more prole-ish childhood friends. |

Date: October 18th, 2017 9:07 AM Author: razzle-dazzle parlour weather and scenery are really the only things and scenery grows old and quickly loses utility.
Smarter people - eh, if he is at a decent sized law firm in Buffalo the people there are just as intelligent - just weren't strivers or know about the "opportunities". Join a country club or something and live in a rich neighborhood and his circle will be just as smart and a lot more normal.

Date: October 18th, 2017 10:07 AM Author: Sticky haunting native milk No. I have family in Europe and can see some of the benefits of redistributive tax and budget policies. They live in these towns that have beautiful churches, squares, and historic structures that are maintained because of lots of government spending. Most of the people in the town are government workers of some kind. Women are in the workplace there just like they are here. The equivalent town in the US is some bombed out hell-hole with rampant drug abuse. There are some things we can learn from other Western countries.

They can still visit and stay in contact with their friends/family that stayed and still have the jobs they want and everything. For the most part, in the US there are enough healthy cities that you can find UMC jobs in that aren't so far away from your family that it is prohibitively expensive and difficult to see them on a consistent basis.

Down the peninsula and in much of the East Bay the weather is second only to SoCal in terms of it being consistently pleasant to be outdoors. The issue in terms of quality of life in those places is that it's all cheap and fake looking because it was built out in a matter of a few decades since the late 70s. Texas has basically the same problem, since it's pre-residential-air-conditioning population in its major metros was like 3% of today. New York and other big cities that are older tend to have more cool looking buildings and are built more intelligently, but big cities in the West and Southwest have the advantage of being able to adopt new things more quickly, e.g. it will be much less of a pain to charge an electric car in 2025 in NorCal or Texas than it will be in a major East Coast metro.

Date: October 18th, 2017 11:38 AM Author: supple bisexual mood immigrant Really interesting points ITT. A few thoughts if it matters:
1. I'm reasonably happy. The only thing that takes my heart back to Buffalo is my parents. I'm fine seeing the rest of my family once/year, and I get to see my parents about 4x/year (we also text a few times/week and facetime with grandkids every week or two). I don't know what happens as they age; maybe they (or the survivor) moves part time -- that would be my ideal, but can't plan or count on it. They have the means to do so.
2. Lots of people ITT are overrating a place like Buffalo. It's objectively shit. I get anti-GC, but I'm surprised that people are taking the other side of this. Other than family, there's no reason to live in a place like that. My kids would almost certainly leave. _All_ of my HS friends left -- every single one of them. One has moved back per LinkedIn and I haven't spoken to him in 15 years. There are 4 actual law firms there by any reasonable standard. There are so few jobs. In another thread someone described it as third-world in the sense that every job is through connections or government make-work. The poast above about the slightly-above-blue-collar jobs (and the effects of this) is correct. The city's industry at this point is call centers and Geico back-back-back office. It's really sad.
3. I have a brother in Buffalo an a sister close to it and my dad loves working (couldn't be more different from me in that regard), so my parents aren't moving any time soon. The entire rest of their family lives within 30 mins of them and they see each other often.
4. Weather is worth a lot. SV/SJ has great weather (as does Marin and the bay-side of the East Bay) -- not sure where the flame comes from that it doesn't; by people who spent a foggy weekend in SF? It's not coastal Southern California, but I'll take it over anywhere else.
5. There's a lot within 1-4 hours of the Bay Area, which is worth a lot with a toddler.
6. There is much more optimism here; the people are more interesting; the world is much bigger. This sounds faggot and there's probably a better word for what I'm trying to describe but it's true and it impacts all areas of life. |

Have you ever looked into moving to Pittsburgh? Seems like a guy with your background could be the king of a place like that with a small but rapidly growing tech scene. Doesn't improve 4 or 6, and changes 5, but it would put you 3 hours away from Buffalo, right? |

Date: October 18th, 2017 3:16 PM Author: supple bisexual mood immigrant I get this argument and was pretty convinced a few years ago that moving back was the best option for us. It was very hard to line up a move for two professionals to a place like that. We tried for about 18 months -- pulled almost every family connection that we could. The best option was a mid-$100Ks senior associate job for me (they were giving me 3 years to develop a book in a place where I hadn't even lived in 15 years and had no post-HS alumni network -- i.e. up or out -- and they acted like they were doing me a huge favor) and a SPS job for my wife who wasn't excited about the move anyway.
Since then life has happened: We bought a house, her parents bought a house near us, we had a kid, wife has made some friends, I have a good job, and we've settled into life here.
As mentioned below, the only real advantage I see to Buffalo is that my parents are there, with a much much smaller advantage being extended family being close. The rest of the things--shittier CA house, no lake house, etc.--are worth in on balance. |

The downtowns and suburbs of TTT cities (especially rust belt cities) don't really have these things. The crime is usually worse and the housing stock is shit. You do get more space I guess. But I've seen the spacious landscapes of these places and it's really not worth the premium you seem to be placing on it. A nice, safe well maintained park nearby is better for the kids. |
