[fatty fat fat]

Kansas.


Flint Hills!

If Hawaii counts... then Hawaii.  It really is like you expect it to be.

If there is somewhere that has lots of college girls with great bodies and fake knockers that wear very little cloing I'd say that place.

Too many skinheads and Mexicans.  It's also pretty hot from what I hear.

Get the F*CK OUT OF MY THREAD

california.  at least if you can afford it.


this going to be a very cliche driven thread.  all the state's with great reps have great reps for solid reasons.

[cireksu]

Cali prob has the widest range of climate and physical features and wildlife.  probably go with California.

[catdude33]

New Jersey.

Hawaii is just freakin amazing.  The air smells awesome all the time.  People are very nice.  Nobody has a lot of "stuff" because it all has to be shipped in so the lifestyle is different and imo awesome.  Very good cultural mix.  Everything is very laid back/non-hectic.  Food not as expensive as you would think but not the selection you get on the mainland.  Everyone's house looks really crapty so if your house is actually crapty nobody can tell from the outside.  I plan on moving there when Mrs. Dave gets done with school, won't happen but I still plan on it.

[Dirty Sanchez]

Oklahoma.  You can go to Applebee's and be considered one of the "rich folk."

[AzCat]

California.

[KSt8er]

Oregon, in the Cascades for moderate temps in winter but close enough to drive out to the coast any time you feel like it.  Eugene would be a great location.  Prettiest views of anywhere, clean clean clean, clear fresh pine sented air, beautiful array of floura and fauna, wild rasberries to chew, OGB (oregon green bud), microbrews galore, big tittied babes abound, and the people are friendly and fun.   Go west young man. 

[Kat Kid]

Honestly throughout my travels I think that all things considered, the best place to live would probably be Miami if you want to live by the sea (I'm biased because of the Latin flavor, if you hate that get out)

Geographically, the Southeastern U.S. (Tenn, N. Carolina) is everything you like about Kansas but with more trees and better weather/less wind (sticky hot, but you're used to that).

But overall the best views/landscapes imo is colorado.  Just consistently awesome.

[slucat]

New York!!

Biggest City in the world, wide open undeveloped rural areas (where I am from), ocean frontage, river frontage, two mountain regions, crystal clear lakes, lots of winter activities; skiing in Lake Placid, snow mobiling, ice skating, fishing, snowshoeing, the largest state park in the US; the Adirondack Park.  Wide variety, something for everyone.

Miss it

Never give up... never.

Add my vote to Hawaii. Its rep is legit.

Colorado sucks ass until you actually get to the base of the mountains, and then it's awesome...for about 10 minutes. After that: meh.

Sounds like norhthern California without the beaches.

Plenty of beaches, and not those pussy beaches with small little waves gently tickling your toes, but the kind that contain enormous energy and crash into the landmass that is the US in a spray of water and a roar in the air.   So yeah, probably like nothern Cali, only better.  It sure aint to pussyfied florida.

North Shore waves are also scary fwiw

I'm sure I'd love N. Cali, just never been so I can only spout about Oregon.   I actually did enjoy St. Pete, FLA beaches, loooots of eye candy, but not having seasonal changes in weather really bored me to no end.  I never thought it would.  I must admit that I miss thunderstorms when in OR, they aren't that common up there.

Yeah, I quit reading about 6 words in when I realized you thought the North Shore was in California.  It's on Oahu fwiw.

Oooooh, thaaaat north shore.   

I worked with a native of Hawaii in Oregon and he moved his family to the main land because of all the gang activity he said was rampant?  And he was big, very big.  In fact he taught football to the guy we got from there in grade school, fatafehi (sp?) maybe?   His son was a starting linebacker at a smaller school in E. Oregon.  These guys would not be afraid of much, but felt the need to move from there, fwiw.  He said unless you are a native, your life is in jepardy every minute even if people don't know it.  Is this not true?

No, it's not that bad at all.  A friend of mine (skinny white kid) grew up on the big island, he said the natives were a little rough on the haoles but he dug the place anyway.  That said you'll definitely see 300# drunken Hawaiian rednecks brawling in the parking lot before and after UH games.  Just give 'em a wide berth and you'll be fine.

Someone else's take:

You realize that Tokyo is about 15 million people larger than NYC, right?


As far as best scenery I'd have to go with Colorado.



Away from the mountains isn't really scenic though.

Washington and Oregon are pretty good too.


Best city is NYC.

[Kat Kid]

I would hate living in NYC.  Cost of living is a bitch too.

Better cities to live in?  Chicago, Milwaukee, Austin, Denver, Miami.

If money weren't an issue then NYC is the best city. No contest.


Chicago = bueno
Austin is full of Texans but the music scene is excellent
Denver = bueno
I don't have any idea for Milwaukee and I've never been to Miami but all accounts say it sucks.


How about Portland, Boston or San Francisco?

For me NYC is too much crap.  I've been, I've liked it, but I could never live there.

You've got Miami all wrong.  It is a great, great city if you know the where's and what's.  Stay away from the fogies, hit the beach, hit South Beach, walk around, enjoy the sun, grab a cab ride with some Dominican or Cuban dude and have them take you to where they eat lunch or to Lil Havana.  It is great.  It is a South American/Carribean city in America.  It is awesome.  If you don't know a little Spanish/can't distinguish between Mexicans and Cubans, you would hate it.

Portland (don't know never been), Boston I like but it is a little too stereotypical.  I would prefer Vermont if I was going down that path and take the slightly more rural but still within striking distance thing over the Westchester/Cambridge non-stop township cluster&@#%.

San Fran?  Never been but I would probably dig.
