Uhhh - warped list. First off you have to decide how important climate
is...and it ain't the same as the other factors. If you can't grow palm
trees half the populaton balks.

Then Boulder City, NV as a retirement destination? You gotta be
kidding. You need to be borderline wealthy to even live there. For
those of you who don't know virtually all the available land around
Boulder City is owned by the City...and they don't sell very much of it.
Right out of one of the 1960 TV family shows.

A wonderful place Boulder City...but if they take in 25 retirees a year
I would be amazed. Three million or so net worth I would think...not a
retirement destination.

Jim Donohue...who sells a lot of retirees homes. .

hey NOYB...
see attached... http://www.hfxnews.com/

A book has been printed listing the top 60 places to retire in North
America, and according to the author's criteria Halifax rates among
the top
ten.. no word if Naples even made the list.





Nevada wouldn't be on my list if they were giving million-dollar houses
away. Neither would Mississippi, Texas, or Alabama. Or Florida below
Orlando in latitude.


Actually Harry you sometimes don't pay attention. Southern Nevada did
not go for Bush. And eventually the south will rule.

That's not my criteria.


For old bodies 6 months in Vegas is better than anywhere in Florida.


I'm going out to Vegas for one day next week. I could have left here today
and stayed there through next week Saturday, but one day is more than
enough for me.

Why that is too bad...The food alone is worth a week or so. The
entertainment, while not intellectually challenging, is unique and
enjoyable. Much more interesting town since it discovered the money in
things other than gaming.

I personally prefer it as a place to live. I would think it less desireable
if one was raising children...weak school system and an environment that
adds to the normal challenges of raising children. But for the mature adult
the hot, dry and pretty much insect free climate is pretty comfortable. The
side benefits of the tourist economy also plays well for the senior set.
