Hey Smoker dude, I live in Cicero too.

Barter power....why don't I ever think of these good ideas??

Hello again my New York compatriots. I've been away from the forum for a long while. Been soul searching, redirecting, evaluation, letting my hair grow long, examining mortality, feeling lost....and...

Not a bad deal John, but where "upstate"?

You have beautifully stated why I was appalled at the homeshows in Florida. I did not want to follow the Florida lemmings to the "dream life" in either NC or TN. I looked in all 50 states and water...

$8000!!!! holy curse word!!!!

Everything is hot on the market till it is not. Think Florida. I don't care if Tennessee is like heaven. I don't care if anyone likes it. I would not pay that kind of money for a lot anywhere. I...

5 acres for 59.9K??????? Seriously?????? Are the rocks made of gold?? Sorry to sound so cynical but YIKES!!!

My Florida property tax bill was 1400 of which only 400 was school tax with no other services. My water sewer garbage bill annually was 2400. My home owner's insurance was 3500 annually. My car...

I get mailings from Vanderwater all the time about offers to buy my land. I wonder what they would offer me.

19 degrees? Are you still in Arizona? It's about 60 degrees here in Central New York right now and I was out doing yard work like it was early spring! My bulbs are trying to come up.

I got a rare day of peaceful communion with my daughter. It felt like old times. It was really sweet. And I probably got a few more ounces of chubbies...don't have the courage to get on the scale.

It has been a long time Jane has been on board. From what I remember, she was interested in land in the "downstate" area, the Catskills maybe? This is such an old thread that I wasn't going to bother...

When multinational energy corporations say gas mining is safe, it must be, right? After all, look at Picher, Oklahoma. Look at the benefits that city was left with after the corporate shills were...

That is a generalization you cannot support. It's sort of like saying that it's ironic that those people who talk about living off the grid and supporting American freedom also support the rights of...

The reservoirs UPSTATE supply water to the CITY. Apparently New York State won't risk ruining what has been a very good water supply to its biggest economic area.

$25 a square yard is only $2.77 a square foot. Not bad for good flooring. I've bought both cheap and expensive tile for one house. Cheap tile wears poorly. Cracks easily and chips when you drop...

I mentioned the book "The Alpha Strategy" but that is a book on economics, not a simpler life.

Some people just don't want to pay any property tax or school taxes. I lived 20 years in Florida and the schools there ROT. You know why? All the northern retirees moving there are people who put...

The SAFE Act is only here for a year or so. The excuses people use to slam NY have been around forever. Guns don't make us free in New York. Elections make us the government we want. No one is...

Election day is coming!

I am a returned New Yorker from Long Island after living in various areas of the Southwest and 20 years in Florida. I moved to Syracuse almost 4 years ago to get closer to the land I bought in the...

My sister has a kit house in Sanford, Florida. She has to have it tented every couple of years. It's Florida, after all. Also, hers is built on a a slab because no basements in FL.

I'm lucky, in a way, to be in Syracuse because every weekend downtown there is the Regional Market where many local farmers and food producers sell their products. I can get locally grown fruit,...
