If you could LIVE anywhere in the U.S., where would you?
Where would you ideally love to live in the U.S. if economy, money, cost of living, etc. etc. was not an issue?
I've lived in Ohio all my life, and it's a little too cold for me in the winters. Consistent 15-35 degrees for 2-3 solid months.
Climate wise, I think somewhere in South Carolina about 2 hours from the coast would be awesome for me. I LOVE North Carolina, but would like it too be slightly warmer in the winter. Stay above 40* always in the winter.
So, where would you live?

Weather: San Diego
Cost of Living: Not in Ca. or New England
Schools: not in the south....preferably in the MW
Jobs: Where you can get one, but look for a growing community
With that said, Twin Cities has everything except for the harsh winters. But that's how we keep the riff-raff away.
I like what I hear about TX too, but you really have to watch the schools. Some of you guys who have lived in the south all your lives have no idea how poor the education is until you live somewhere else. And when you consider eduction standards, it is not just what you will learn but also everyone else around you learns. When you have an educated work force, good jobs follow too.
Ultimately, you can make virtually anyhere a home. Home is what you make it.

id live at home. lol
but seriously, i would like to live somewhere that has a lot more to do than here. like somewhere that has a nice beach (not the OC, NJ for those who live in the northern states.) I liked myrtle beach a lot. any where below maryland really. cali would be nice but emissions suck. lol

I visited Dallas for a week one year and loved the area.. I wouldn't mind living like right around Plano, TX.. seemed like a pretty nice area. The west coast is nice, but I don't think I could stay there for the rest of my life.

I wouldn't mind Texas even though I don't really know anything about it. I'd definitely want to live in a nice suburban area very close to a large city.
The only beef with Texas is I've heard the humidity in the summer's are outrageous.
I don't like cold, but I don't like high humidity either.
And school's should play a mix as well.

I was in TX in the middle of July and it was hot as ****, but the humidity was nothing like what we get in Kentucky. In kentucky in the summer you can't ****in breathe lol
#13
Yea seems like if you live where the weather is good in the winter, it can be hot as hell in the summer.
I loved the summers in the poconos. Rarely was it in the 90's and never humid.
San Diego has the greatest weather besides Hawaii.

I kinda like Arizona also, Phoenix is a cool city. I see myself more of an East coast kinda guy though.
#15
You are definitely right. Lived in both places, only thing about hawaii, is you get island fever. You just get sick of being on a damn island with no where to go. Just drive around the island.

I Live In Los Angeles, can't think of a better place.............The weather is great! Almost anything in the world you'd want to do is here......Cost of Living is High, but you also make more money so it even outs. Sunny Southern CA!

I hear ya dude....I love the SF Bay Area, but I like SoCal's weather better. I'd probably like to live in Orange County somewhere.....maybe Laguna Beach....that's if I was rich though!
#23
there is a town outside of pheonix called coolage. think thats how you spell it. the cost of living is fairly cheap. its like 30 mins outside. summers get a little warm but there is no humidity. (no rust either) the only down side is 1 month out of the year is monsoon season. hundreds of looooong strait aways.
#24
take that back!!! you don't want to live in VA. Weather is usually nice, not too hot or too cold but damn this state is boring.
#25
I would be a tough decision between staying in the Cali Bay Area or moving back down to Orange County. The people up here are a lot more friendly and real, but the weather is much nicer down south and the women are way hotter.

I'd like to live in Kansas City, MI. I'm a huge Chiefs fan and I've actually been there. The downtown area is fun as hell at night and their climate isn't bad. Ohio's sucks. It gets down never 0 every now and then in the winter and that's a little much for me.

Laguna Beach really isn't full of rich people. It's not like Beverly Hills or Bel Air where pretty much every house is over a mill. The show just focuses around that small area of Laguna where those kids are rich. I've got a buddy that goes to a small college in Cali right next to Laguna beach and the people there get upset because if someone asks them where they're from and they say Laguna beach, every one automatically assumes they're rich.

i was in Wichita Falls Tx for about 7 months during training. that place made Dayton Ohio look like New York City. ... lol....
witchita just had this dead feel to it. completly lifeless. all there was to do was go to the sikes center mall. ugh.
that place was just depressing as hell.
