Gerald Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 (edited) I have lived in Tagbilaran City, Bohol for the past 3 years. Cost of living has risen greatly in this time period. Food cost have almost doubled. Traffic in the city has gotten so bad it is unsafe to drive. So i am looking for a new place to relocate. My ideal place would be a city of 100 to 200 thousand population. A place where at least most drivers have good driving skills and some idea of how to drive safely. A place where the air is clean and the streets aren't filled with litter.I would like to rent a house or apartment with 2 or 3 bed rooms and 2 CR. I would appreciate any suggestion where i might find such a place. My travels have been some what limited so i seek your help. Thanks for any ideas anyone might have.Gerald Edited February 16, 2011 by Gerald Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One place that you might wish to investigate, and that I really liked was San Pablo, Laguna not too far from Manila on Luzon, but far enough. There was no taxis when we visited my wifes sister a few years ago, the streets were clean, there was hardly any traffic, and the air quality was excellent. My wife and I thought about moving there but at the time I would have probably been the only white person there and it made me uncomfortable that everyone stared at me wherever I went. Of course they could have been staring because I am ugly but none the less it felt uncomfortable at the time, yet nowadays it would not bother me at all.

Forum Support Dave Hounddriver Posted February 16, 2011 Forum Support Posted February 16, 2011 I hear what you are saying. That is my goal too. I am probably moving to a rural place to 'get away from it all' for a while but I have a lot of friends who have moved to, (or plan to move to), Dumaguette in recent times.

Art2ro Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 This is where we live since 2001. Check out the link below! It's a modern suburban development anyone would be satisfied with, that's centrally located almost to everything one would need if it's within your budget! http://www.google.com/images?q=Paseo+de+sta+rosa&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&source=univ&ei=d2d3TIX6PI-IvgPWh8SpBg&sa=X&oi=image_result_group&ct=title&resnum=4&ved=0CDMQsAQwAw&biw=1260&bih=664 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is also nice up near SM Mall which is close to the airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
