Apparently you’ve never been a priest taken to a new parish.

No kidding. ;-)

He would not be sent to a monestary, he is a different kind of priest. The best thing is IMO, a good ethnic parish where the laity takes no crap.

I have to disagree. I know of diocesan priests who have been dispatched to monasteries for reflection (a "spiritual retreat"). You are right that he can't be assigned to a monastery permanently; however, a retreat is a different issue.

And yes, an ethnic parish that will take no crap would be a good thing...as an "in residence" priest or a parochial vicar, not as a pastor.
