Where else would you like to live?

[Dauphin]

I wouldn't mind living in the north west or north east coast of the US. I would also like to try living in southern Germany for a while, failing that Paris would be close enough to home that I could almost commute if needs be.

Anywhere it ended up being would have to have a cool-ish non-humid climate. For that reason I could never stay here in Sydney permanently.

Well let me be more clear. I'd like to live in place that is warm at least some days of the year, and it's not always pitch black dark.

Somewhere, where the income tax is not so horrible you end up owing money when you make it.

Somewhere, where people smile sometimes and talk to each other.. somewhere, where I can feel I can live up to my potential fully, and if I fail, so be it.

Somewhere, where you can watch NFL and NHL from tv, where there is some stores open longer than 9pm.
Somewhere, where cars can be bought and working people can buy them, and actually drive them.

Somewhere, where I feel is a good place for kids to grow. Good school district and relatively safe.

Somewhere, where I can defend myself without getting to go to jail for it. Where I can beat the living crap out of anyone who comes and threatens me or my family and starts attacking.

Somewhere, where I can go to shooting range and practice with fire arms, without having to crawl on your knees before the owners and cops for getting permission.

Somewhere, where I can go on a roadtrip, and it's not all the same stuff all the time.

Somewhere, where I can go snowboarding. Where the community is nice and friendly towards new faces and invites them to BBQs, and then I can do the same for them.

That's where I want to live.

I've fallen in love with Prague so I would like to live there, even though the air isn't particularly great for your health there especially in the winter.

My earliest memories are of the Madrid area. I lived in Alcala de Henares when my father was stationed at Torreon Air Base. I don't remember much. I lived in an apartment building with a park across the street. I visited places like Toledo and Segovia. There wasn't much television. This was 1980 to 1982.

Frankfurt or Dusseldorf might be nice. Maybe Kent or Penzance.

The salt trucks are out in Detroit. The salt trucks are out in Birmingham. The salt trucks are out in Royal Oak. And in Hamtramck there is a guy walking up and down the street with a salt shaker.

Real weather guy joke from WJR, circa 1970.

I'd like to live in Pacific Grove California if I could afford it, or somewhere else along the central coast of California. The weather there is perfect for my tastes, you can grow almost anything you can think of in your garden, and the countryside and seacoast are spectacularyl beautiful. Barring those, the Oregon coast looks ok for at least half the year.

My girlfriend and I are in negotiations about this very issue. Unfortunately she likes it hot, and I like it cool. We may well end up wintering in a warm place and summering in a cool one. Having to have two seperate residences means that we will probably have to settle for less expensive places though.

Btw, if I were a city type I would be happy in a lot of places in Europe. Germany and the NL in particular seem nice, though I haven't even been to half of the European countries yet. I haven't been to East Asia for 30 years, so I will withhold my comments on it until I get back from my planned trip to Japan later this year.

Hmmmm Anywhere but where I am now. Not the country the town. Te Puke is a hole.

Wellington I like, I'll live there for the next few years for uni. I wouldn't mind Europe anywhere really.

Minnesota?

As for me . . . Obviously Minnesota is one, also Seattle, Chicago, Hawaii, New York City.

Scotland.

Argentina, Brazil.

[Spiffor]

In Germany I'd love to live in Mainz. Beautiful city, with beautiful surroundings.
In France, I'dwant to live in a medium city of Britanny, suchas Quimper or St Brieuc. Nice areas, with a soft weather

Other than that, I'd be curious to try Québec-city, but I fear the weather throws me out.

[Pekka]

Crimson Sunrise, I don't know about Minnesota.. nothing negative, I just haven't really studied the place at all.

Seattle is cool, been there. Nice little city, mountains are near.. but I think it rains all the time . But not a bad choice.

New York is kind of out.. it's a great place but I wouldn't want to live there. Too much going on.. No way to snowboard anywhere near.. and not the safest place either, and expensive.

[Essayo]

i'd like to live in Holland again, preferrably in Leiden, Utrecht or Den Haag - lived there for a few years in my teens and thought it was great.
No offense to any Americans but i lived there for a while too but i found it just wasn't my cup of tea. I just can't get used to the culture there. Failing everything in the end New Zealand is pretty cool and i'm glad to call it my home. If i had to live anywhere else other than Palmerston North it'd prolly be Wellington.

Amsterdam, in the Jordaan.

Kitsilano in Vancouver, or maybe one of those lovely little wooded islands you see when you take the ferry from Tsawassen to Victoria.

The Mission in San Francisco.

Monterrey in California.

Granby Street in Manchester.

[Provost Harrison]

May I enquire Brent - why Lancashire?

[Japher]

The Twin Cities Area is rather nice.

You got The Wild for hockey, The Vikings for Football, The Timberwolves for Basketball, The Twins for baseball, good ice fishing, lots of places to ski, an international airport (home to some major airline, can't remember which), and the worlds largest shopping mall!!! What more could you want?

The Mission in San Francisco.

Good bars.

Monterrey in California.

Pretty... and expensive!

Anywhere, absolutely ANYWHERE but Southern Germany, which is where I currently live. It's like hell on earth (except a bit more snow in the winters). If I could choose, independent from money, I'd like to have a house in Iceland, Berlin, Polynesia, Tokyo, the Northern Pacific Coast (Oregon, Washington or BC, don't care) and, maybe, Siberia. Since anything except for Berlin could be by the seaside, you can guess why.
But I'm already looking forward from moving from this rotten s...hole to Hamburg later this year, which is at least an improvement.
