Where do you see that now nowadays?
Many places, actually. It is very friendly in the rural areas here, too. I do miss the smell of the salt air of the Puget Sound, the mountains and forests.

Edit - 700/month in what zone? That sounds extremely cheap for London proper. Or is it for a room?
No, it's two bedroom appartment. Three roommates, each one pays 700. It's on the edge of second zone maybe that's even third (near Canada water station)

700 or 1600, the prices there are just insane.

I imagine anything would be preferable to where you are now. Has it cracked -20 yet?

That sounds very expensive for that zone. 2100/month total?

Yes, Rev.. It reached -33 degrees here a few mornings ago. Haven't seen it like that for ages. We are feeding our resident sparrows, a few finches, one blue jay, and three cottontails. The whitetail deer have bales of hay on our land, and the pheasants on our land may be surviving but we saw dead ones along the highway. It is the wind that gets them. It is 32 degrees ABOVE zero right now and blowing. Good day to stay home. The warmer air brings the snow.

I miss white guys who didn't try to act like they were black guys.

How disingenuous ...

I could be making about 3x as much money back east, and live for about 75% of the cost.

No way. My (our) favorite pizza place is (supposedly) run by the mob.
