rose-mag,
我發夢都冇估到雞脾樂(Gabriel) 喺第二輪NYC PS lottery, 抽中Manhattan 學位, 5分鐘車程away from Amanda's school.... what a relief for all of us... 就算5月天才試result 出咗, Gabriel 考唔到Amanda間學校, Gabriel 都肯定出放Manhattan喇!! 咁我搬唔搬出Manhattan住呢???

Nillie, congratulations! It's such a blessing that Amanda and Gabriel's schools are only 5 minutes apart. It would be much easier for you to drop off or pick up them. Since they will both go to schools in Manhattan, it's practical for you to consider moving. Are you consider selling the current one to buy a new one or just rent the current one out and buy a new one in Manhattan? How your husband thinks?

I and my hubby have been looking for buying a house for years but we cannot find our dream house yet. It's too expensive at the beginning, then we need to think about childcare, then we were not sure if we would send our son to private school if we cannot get our preferred one, then now we have to think about if we can find a good fit one for our son in other city....

Mandy, 睇地區啦，我住呢度係幾好嘅區，
交通買嘢食嘢都方便，一般一間普通800呎，
一房一廳獨立廚廁都要千五起，有D兩房一廳要去到二千，
最緊要係有冇包車位，可以差成二三百，
不過而家搵街位泊車都幾辛苦，好彩我地有車房泊，
再加上屋企出面兩個位都比較細，普通大架D嘅車都唔敢泊，
所以我地有兩三架車都OK。

Mandy: 係呀，住食行都幾貴，稅又高人工又跟唔上通貨膨脹，
不過如果要求唔係太高，呢邊生活其實幾寫意。

planning... every thing is planning...
if we lease our 2 families house out... and save Gabriel's daycare ($750 per month), plus the toll everyday and the gas, ... to rent an apartment at Battery park.. will be very easy for us.. and save a lot of money for us.. eventually

Hi Nillie,
Why don't you sell your house in Staten Island and then buy one in the city? Would it be easier that way? But then, you will have to downsize your living space...

Rose-Mag,

I don’t even know that the on-site program is hard to get in…
Decision, decision, decision…

I also want my boys to join多D群體生活, My neighbor sends their kids 6 daysa week to practice for baseball / soccer leagues.
I can’t commit to it because I get homearound 7pm (1.5 hour to commute) and the games start around 6pm in myneighborhood…

Socloudy,

係我呢度麻煩啫，市政府咩都低收入行先，
我地呢D夾心階層就咩都冇，我有時覺得好唔公平，
我地俾咁多稅，只係希望有equal access/opportunity都冇，
有好多所謂低收入其實唔係真係咁低收入，
只不過佢地份工出現金，唔報稅將所有錢唔放銀行去呃福利，
我甚至識人報假地址去呃免費preschool，但可以點？
唔通去舉報佢，我真係希望政府喺呢方面做好D，
另外唔好咁多所謂社工去幫人呃福利，反而政府去減老人福利，
扣佢地D糧食券或住屋津貼，我就最反感。

講番After School，我而家會偏向今年唔送囝囝去，
我同囝囝以前學校個social worker傾過（佢真係好好，
就算而家囝囝轉咗校，佢都定時打電話問我地情況），
佢建議我地唔好要囝囝返晒全日，佢覺得囝囝overwhelmed，
最好俾多D時間佢just to relax，其實佢每日放2:40pm，
如果婆婆去接完佢再帶去After School，都已經三點，
我自己放4:00pm，老公接完我返到屋企最快係4:20pm，
咁婆婆其實睇住囝囝唔夠兩個鐘，
橫豎而家學校都冇available On-Site After School俾到我地，
我會試吓聯絡PTA同埋同Kindergarten新學生嘅家長，
睇吓會唔會下一年可以開到new On-site After School，
咁去到1st Grade先再諗送囝囝去After School，
因為下年如無意外，妹妹都會入同一間學校，
到時婆婆要湊兩個就有D難度，因為婆婆年紀唔細啦，
要佢走嚟走去又勞氣會好辛苦。

Dear all,
Can I settle down in some other states with lower cost of living even though my sister applied my case in CA? Thanks.

yes, you can ... after you arrived in CA, then you can go to anywhere you want.
it is your choice. I will suggest you to stay in CA at the beginning because you know no where. and you need to have an address to receive all your ID, need to learn to drive again.. "left handed" ... American English.. ESL class... there are so many things for you to pick up before you can become independent.
