Advice ??

Everyone

Hypothetically let say you live in Paradise but are unhappy with your current employment. Now you have an offer for a good move from two places. First is Beautiful Lake Tahoe area and the Second is Saratoga Springs NY. Both are the same in $$ but Lake Tahoe you get the Lake and NY you get NY what would you choose?

Lake Tahoe. NYC has far too many people in far too small a space. Besides, if your job puts you in a position to live in Nevada, you might enjoy a very favorable tax situation.

Lake Tahoe, My Dad used to live there and I visited alot. Much nicer and more relaxed atmosphere

And by the looks of it, you are closer to Lake Tahoe

Perhaps I'm being a bit of a Devil's Advocate here, but I'd suggest you at least take a weekend to visit Saratoga Springs before you decide. That's "Upstate" New York, and VERY different from the cesspit otherwise known as New York City. Though I'm a Texan through and through, I have to say that I really, really liked Upstate New York--very rustic, rolling green hills, small towns a-plenty with REAL county fairs, peaceful.

The major downside, though, is that it gets plenty cold and snowy up there in the wintertime.

I vote Lake Tahoe.

Saratoga Springs is in upstate New York, and it's gorgeous there. If you like winter sports at all, it's a paradise. It's a far removed from NYC as Lake Tahoe is... the big difference will be the people. Tahoe folks are a bit more laid back and might not care how "hard" you work as long as you get the job done; New York *state* folks might not be so accommodating.

True, upper state New York is very beautiful. Talk about a view. Never been to Nevada though. Might check the state and property taxes out in each state to help you decide between the two.
