Hi all!
My husband and I have been looking into some different cities to relocate to from Portland, OR. So far we have been considering Austin, TX and San Diego, CA but are also thinking of the Tampa or St. Petersburg area.
We are originally from Vancouver, BC where there is a very active, urban downtown area but we don't like so many rainy/overcast days. San Diego is beautiful with a great, active downtown but the housing is atrociously expensive!!
What is the livability of Tampa like? Is the downtown area active and interesting? Any issues with bugs or termites? How about hurricanes and tropical storms?
I would appreciate anyone’s thoughts about the area and even your comparisons or thoughts about some of the other places we're considering if you have any!?
Thanks so much!
Kate
