hi!  I bought a house in St. Petersburg Florida about a year ago..The house is wonderful, but there are no sidewalks.  The paratransit is great, but even though there is a great service economy out here, there are no professional jobs.  I have a master's degree in mental health counseling with about ten years experience from New York.  My professional areas and specialty are disability and interpersonal relationship issues.  I use a wheelchair and function independently but don't drive so I need good public transportation and good paratransit.  All this would matter less if I had a good job.  I moved to Florida for the warmer weather.  I know Berkley CA has been traditionally the best for accessibility.  Has Los Angeles caught up?  I think I would like that area better.  Probably in California it may be too expensive to buy a house and I would have to live in an apartment.

I'm looking to explore these relocation issues and also stay in a warmer climate.any suggestions about the best places to live would be welcome.  Thanks Gary
