Re: Those Poor People Affected by Hurricane Katrina

Queens in NY that is, not flamboyant theatre types. . .

Texas Brit will soon have to be retired and replaced with a more appropriate name as me and the missus are moving back to NYC. Used to live...

Re: Don't move back to London - there are some very good reasons everybody's leaving

I'm with you W10; I think some of this is sour grapes, patting ourselves on the back, "aren't we all glad we moved away" stuff, meant to eliminate any lingering self-doubt about the move we've made....

Re: Legal Practice in Canada

Andrew:

We are pretty close on that test thing on the Immigration site -- 84 for me, 77 for her, but I would probably be primary. Those are pretty solid scores, right?

Re: Legal Practice in Canada

All this information is great.

So the big question is, other things being equal which is the easier, UK or US (quota and timeline wise)?

Re: Legal Practice in Canada

Leaving California (DMV woes)

Word of advice if you are leaving Calif - FILE A CHANGE OF ADDRESS WITH THE DMV!

I left Cali a year ago, moved to Texas and immediately registered my cars in Texas like a good boy.

Re: Austin, Texas info

For real estate listings, have a look at www.realtor.com and do a "map search."

The music scene is a real draw here.

In spite what the Chamber of Commerce would have you believe, however, this...

Re: Where to stay in L.A.

Definitely Santa Monica is the way to go. If you don't plan on getting a car (and I can't emphasize enough how much you should get a car), SM is really your best bet too. You can walk down to...

I'm in Austin. We've been here about a year. Good mix of a big city vibe and small city pace of living and less stress. I am a big city person; living in NYC and LA for the last ten years and London...

Re: Is title insurance really necessary when buying a home?

Yeah, I use one of those. Bit much for the board though, particularly as I try to avoid law talk anyway on here. Anyway, most of time I'd rather not draw attention to the fact that I am of those...

Re: Is title insurance really necessary when buying a home?

Re: Is title insurance really necessary when buying a home?

Actually, the reason I like ("like" may be an overstatement) being a commercial real estate lawyer is that is one of the least offensive types of law to practice. Most of time everyone is happy to...

Re: Is title insurance really necessary when buying a home?

I am a real estate lawyer BUT I never do residential home sales (commerical only, and that is very different).
