Yes, Australia has never allowed criminals to settle there.   :-X  ;)

That's a lie, after all they've got politicians too there. :P

I thought Australia was once the prison farm of the British Empire.  Kind of like South Carolina...

i think what i want is... a little slower pace but not too country. after all i grew up in the city, i live in "Da 'Hood" Bed Stuy Brooklyn. i miss tough old school working class NY.  i want lower cost of living & more space. a house would be nice with a yard. less tourists to deal with. when tourism is up so is the price of everything.and everything is so crowded. someplace with milder winters, though this past winter was awesome. we skipped it altogether.

All you have to do is get out of a major metro city.  Plan try of places meet those criteria.

Of your choices I'd go with Portland OR. Great city, really good pace, affordable by comparison, good music/arts scene, nice weather (I'll take rain over snow), great restaurants and bars. Definitely a place a NYC punk rock guy would find things to appreciate.

It was - hence Dave's comment.  We've done pretty well, considering that heritage.  Of course, just like the US, we killed most of the natives as well, which is something we're not proud of.

NC was the penal colony for the original 13 colonies IIRC.  Yep, we treated the natives horribly as well.

Another reason to hate NY.  Woke up this morning with the ground covered with snow!  It should melt off later today, but now we're back to our typical March/April weather.

That's not a reason to hate it! I enjoy the change of seasons and the unexpected, except for violent weather.

I love it up to March.  After that, I'm over it!

Yes, it wasn't much of a challenge, like usual!  I have to say I loved being able to go on long walks every night or day.
