    Boise, Idaho anyone?

    Boise, Idaho anyone?

    Boise, Idaho anyone?

    Yes, the CA exodus has really inflated prices in the adjacent Western states. I'm going to toss out Boone NC as a possibility for you folks, given what I understand of your lifestyle and needs. Friends used to teach at Appalachian State there. Quite a sophisticated small city. Lots of nature...

    Pensionado Visa Peso requirement

    That was never raised by my attorney or migra. FBI, SS income verification that's it. The one question my migra interviewer asked was how I could be sure my SS income would continue. Lol. Fairly soon that could be a legitimate concern.

    Anyone else "crazy" enough to live in La Boca?

    Yep. I blame Instagram and TikTok influencers. They ran out of places to repeatedly recommend in Palermo Soho, Hollywood etc. Good for local business, I guess. I bet Paraguay doesn't have this problem.
