What would your ideal spot to live in the USA be?

[Dis]

It's a military town. That may explain the young age.

Norfolk is even a bigger military town. That mean age should be pretty low.

Norfolk area (which includes Virginia Beach, Hampton, Newport News, Portsmouth). has a naval air station, the worlds' largest navy base, an air force base, an army base, a naval hospital, a naval shipyard in portsmouth, a shipyard in Newport News that builds all aircraft carriers, I think it has a marine base as well. And Yorktown has a naval weapons station.

It has one of the highers male to female rations in the country.

Alaska is really beautiful

Im going to take the test now...

Oh I would definately love to at least visit Anchorage. Tough sell for my wife to move there, though

It' also a very rapidly growing town. Lots of companies are locating here and that means jobs, which mean people moving here for the jobs.

The housing prices floored me. $300,000+ is the top range? Thats roughly £150,000 which is the average price of a house in the UK.

Just off Sanchez in San Francisco.

Near the harbour in Seattle.

In Monterrey.

Very far away from god botherers, if possible.

Again? Either they've got a very narrow amount of cities or they've fixed the quiz after receiving some 'sponsor funds' from the city of Carlisle...

Yeah, at least it isn't Las Vegas I'd take Utah over Nevada any day.

Also founded by us Mormons.

Hmmm Reno? Gag me, please. That goes for Carson City too - I dislike Nevada, period. Hartford - my parents would be so thrilled if I was to move there

Reno is okay, its close to Lake Tahoe

Yes that's correct. I'd prefer to live on the California side although. South Lake Tahoe isn't my place either. Mmmm only if Reno or Nevada banned smoking then I'd not mind Reno so much.

what's wrong with Nevada?

Nothing. Just my personal tastes. Way too many people smoke especially in gambling hubs such as Las Vegas and Reno. Also I find something unsettling and sickening about having slot machines literally everywhere - it shows how much gambling has throughly permeated throughout the daily life there.

Based purely on housing costs it seems.

You know, that is pretty much spot on! Perhaps this quiz is on to something after all... :cue twilight zone music:

Lewiston-Auburn area has Bates College which offers bachelors and masters. It's a great town. It used to be run-down lumbering town but lately it has been blooming. Two years ago or so there were some local tension when the feds resettled refugees from Somilia there. I know Mainers, I told people just give them some time - the Maine hospitality will overcome any concerns they had that came from ignorance. Sure enough, now, those refugees are widely embraced as they show that they'll be intergrated into the local economy instead of being useless bums. Naturally, eastern African resturants has been opening up all over.

Camden, I don't know too much other than it's in 'Down East' area which is a very rural area.

I would want a place with good physics research

* Not unattractive cities from my perspective. Non-starred cities would require more research, higher $$.
** Have lived in Knoxville and Atlanta. In many ways, I prefer Knoxville (it's so damned convenient it's crazy) but my wife would like for us to move back to Atlanta. Or maybe somewhere else, but a larger city, that's for sure. She'd probably enjoy Charlotte, NC Nashville, TN or Louisville, KY (however, if I were to move to Kentucky, I'd select the Frankfort area, right between Louisville and Lexington, about 40 miles from each.)
