من بين ويرجينيا (Fairfax)و لاس وگاس گير كردم توي كدوم يكي از اين شهرها برم
توي ويرجينيا يه آشنا داريم كه اعلام آمادگي كرده كمكم ميكنه تا جا بيفتم ولي هزينه زندگي و خونه خيلي بالاست و كارهم ميگن زياده.آيا با ماهي 1300 يا 1400 تا دخل خرج آدم با هم ميخونه؟
توي لاس وگاس هزينه زندگي و خونه فوق العاده پايين و كار هم اوضاعش معمولي هست ولي كسي رو توي وگاس ندارم

يه چندتا نظر هم توي سايتهايي كه يه شهر رو نقد و بررسي ميكنند ديدم براتون ميذارم ببينيد شما چقدر با اين نظرات موافقيد

The DC Metropolitan area has some of the worst traffic in the country. If you're considering moving to this area, be sure to move as close to your workplace as possible. Road conditions are very bad; road construction (especially on major highways) is continual; road capacity is extremely lacking; mass transportation, while available in many areas during rush hours, is poorly run, expensive, unreliable and crumbling from lack of maintenance; and local governments' ability to respond to weather and other emergencies is non-existent. Non-rush hour traffic is also extremely heavy making the expression, "You can't get there from here," very relevant.

I grew up in Fairfax and finally left after 25 years! Yes, there are many jobs and things to do. It's only about 25 mins to Washington DC so you have access to tons of culture, museums, etc. Fairfax itself is way overpriced. Housing prices are outrageous. There is construction everywhere and the congestion is awful. Drivers are super aggressive so if you don't plan on speeding everywhere you go, be prepared to be run off the road. The people are rude and unfriendly. Also, the immigrant population is high, especially Asians. I felt like I lived in Korea after awhile! THe weather isn't bad if you don't mind hot, hazy summers. Spring and fall are nice. Winters are relatively mild and measurable snow is rare.

The Good Points: Clean, good schools (or so I've heard, I don't have kids) Mixed between Repubs and Dems, but almost universal disdain for the Bush Admin. New homes, lots of malls, churches, afterschool activities, bars, restaurants, etc etc. If you want arts, culture and museums, you can't do any better except for NYC. Crime? Some theft, but very low. Any homicides here are usually because of some nutcase. Unemployment almost non-existent. It is almost impossible not to have a job in Northern Virginia. Transportation is good, you've got buses all over. However there's only a smattering of train stops in the area. They were good for 10 years ago, but as population grew outward, you might spend an hour in traffic just getting to the train station, depending on where you live. The Bad: TRAFFIC. If you can live near your job, you really might want to think about it. HIGH RENTS/HOME PRICES: You will pay minimum $1200 for a 1-bedroom. Houses are starting at $900,000 and that's for a fixer-upper. TAXES: As more people move here, more services are demanded. Fact of live. IMMIGRANTS: Yes, there are tons of illegal immigrants in the area. PEOPLE: Stuck-up, pompous, often rude, and can't drive. WEATHER: Only good months are April and September - October. Hot, sticky and humid in summer, and winter cold gets cold. I'm leaving in Sept but secure in the knowledge that if I need to, I can come back and find a job tomorrow.
