If you could live/move anywhere right now, where would it be? Why?

[1961MJS]

Hi

I like the forest. I've lived in North Alabama and would move back there. I also like Missouri, Tennessee, and North Mississippi, basically anywhere that there's trees, and not huge amounts of snow.

Thinking on it, I could move back to Colorado in a heartbeat. I loved the landscape and the people. Also, I could wear my coats more often!

Oh definitely. I loved the skiing in Beaver Creek

Hi Rue

I want one of those fireplaces where you can cook like 5-10 gallons of soup in the big witch's cauldron. Gotta like that idea.

No doubt in my mind. Here:

Smack in the Chianti Mountains. Halfway between Sienna and Firenze.

Ok, I think I'm going to have to rethink my choices and add this place. Wow!

 

[Undertow]

Away from people.

I've considered Montana and Wyoming for their beautiful country and resources, as well as their conspicuous lack of population. If I had the money to move, I would have the money to occassionally vacation in Chicago and Seattle. Otherwise, give me the open country, a rifle and some p&q.

I would love to return home to the mountains and lakes of the Adirondacks. Or actually, anyplace that has mountains and lakes and snow in the winter. Deep snow.

I would like it to be zone 4 (unlike my parents zone 3 where everything dies of cold). I ideally want 50 acres if we stay where the land is cheap- woodland and pasture/ field, with it's own supply of water- a spring or a stream. I'd move back up north in a heartbeat, but there are no jobs and the taxes are getting ridiculous in this state. The taxes wouldn't be bad if there were jobs, but there aren't any.

I am strongly considering moving to Canada: Ontario, Nova Scotia, or PEI.

That can be arranged, Bernie. It's for rent on weekly basis. You just give me a call, when you know, when you are coming over

Will do!

Near the ocean: NYC

Near the sea: Odessa, Ukraine


The first so I could visit MoMA every week, and the second for its history and architecture.

San Diego -- So I could be a surfer bum.

Kaneohe, Oahu-best beach, surf, and wahinies, bro. (ex-surfer bum)

 

[Miss Moonlight]

Sausalito.

Beautiful little coastal town across the bay from San Francisco. It's got a natural foods store and community minded people, and it's across the bridge from San Francisco. That's all I need.

 

[rkwilker]

Key West. I know, I know but it is a unique village with beautiful blue water and an interesting "I don't care what you think" attidude. I could do without the hurricanes though. I also could see me and my wife retiring to Charleston, SC. Another town steeped in history and culture.

Not sure how I could be so near sighted. Maybe it is just because I have been to San Diego (good food too).

I revise my choice now.

On the coast of southern Delaware - I could be close to the sea and Delaware Bay (so 1- natural environment that better reflects my interests, 2- I could get into maritime stuff easier due to 1, 3- a more socially 'libertarian' outlook than where I'm at now, and 4- it is very relaxing there).

 

[Big Man]

Remember what Dorothy said in "The Wizard of Oz"? "There's no place like home, there's no place like home, there's no place like home ... "

I've visited a lot of very wonderful places around the US, but If I'm totally honest, I can't see myself living anywhere but where I do right now. My family has been within a 20 mile radius of where I live since the 1760's. This is home to me. The bones of my ancestors are buried here. I love it here.

^ I can totally understand that Big Man. If I was in your shoes, I'd feel the same way. You're very lucky

 

[Mr. Hallack]

Though I'm from So. Cal, right now here in Maine, I am where I want to live. Sure it's not a perfect world here, but a lot better than California (which my friends still living in Cali CANNOT understand why I would move here) Lot less crowded, natural lakes, ocean no colder than So. Cali beaches in summer, woods nearby. Only 4 freeways, 2 shopping malls, and oddball characters you don't have to worry about killing you. I was born and raised in California, but Maine is home.

Kavalla, Greece is an alternate locale. Beach: kirichies>surf---

 

[MissChloeCorville]

Nashville, Tennessee. I have family all over Tennessee it's one of the most beautiful, fun places I've been.

 

[shazzabanazza]

I would move to Rotorua, New Zealand. Even though its a bit smelly at first because of the sulphur, you get use to the pretty quickly. I love the history of Rotorua and the vibe in that city is awsome!
