I can't get that web site on my mobile phone right now, but I will tell you two states I like a lot. Wisconsin and Minnesota. Odds are that I end up in one of those, actually.

I mostly agree, but I don't really spend any time at all "out doors" between November and March in Kansas...so, in a way, who gives a eff if the winter months are a bunch colder?
The upper northwest seems too rainy. I wanted to wack myself after just a few days in that rain.
it's kinda weird to me that CO, NE and KS are so high on the education index one. like, it's all east coast at the top and then those three dropped in there.

if you are wanting something active don't do it. it's super chillax. if you want to just stroll around and see hundreds of historical crazy old things and lounge in a park (where you can byob) and eat at really old shrimp and grits and seafood type places and whatnot it's the place for you. stay at the Andaz. don't stay anywhere else. well, maybe stay at the Bohemian Hotel if you don't stay at the Andaz. nowhere else though. also all the restaurants have plastic cup dispensers at the front door so you can bring your drink with you because that's legal (see byob at the city parks comment earlier).

My top countries were Switzerland, Australia, and New Zealand. I actually did spend quite a bit of time looking into them, but the logistics of moving, traveling back and forth, and getting a visa to go there made me rethink going outside of North America. I was under the assumption at the time that getting into Canada wouldn't be too bad, but they've unfortunately changed their immigration policies quite a bit the last few years.

immigrating is a huge problem. but if you have money you can mostly go anywhere. and for a lot of places you can effectively live there with just a tourist visa.
i guess if you have kids and you want to educate them that' be a big complication.

ireland may be the best state (not for pete), pretty great temps, does rain all the time. new zealand is pretty great too. incidentally probably the two best countries in the world for grazing.

I agree with this. Season changes are invigorating. But that doesn't last long for me. I'm usually loving winter in December but then hating its guts in January and suicidal come February. Same with summer. Love it right now but then come talk to me to get me feelings come August.

i like almost everything about sf, including the weather; i can't afford to live there.
I have a hard time believing that Savannah and Charleston are not humid, but if true, that is fabulous
What about Oregon? Seems like it might have some of the good parts of both Northern California and Seattle, but lower cost of living and less soul crushing dreary rain.
I guess I could get used to it. I just hate being wet and cold. I like snow and freezing more than wet and cold.
I think my best choice is a townhouse/condo/urban tiny yard home in downtown Minneapolis, AND a cabin on lake in Northern MN ( someplace between Brainerd and Bemidji)

I really like the sound of Portland...sounds the most promising of all the West Coast places (SD and SF being cost prohibitive)the key is to be on non-extreme weather coasts. vancouver, san fran, savannah, charleston, etc.
Portland fits this description. People think it rains a lot here, but honestly, it's just overcast a few days a week with a light drizzle. We don't have thunderstorms or huge rain showers very often, and it rains here way less than it does in Seattle (plus it's warmer). San Fran is overcast all the time thanks to the ocean, and Vancouver is just a colder version of Seattle.

Berkley seemed to have some of the college town plusses and stones throw to San Fran. San Fran isn't warm enough for me. Would do Napa in a heartbeat.
Sys, how do you like Fresno? I worked on a short project there years ago and didn't care for it...though no one ever showed me around and I was left to just kinda stay in the commercial areas.
I drove up to Yosemite and that was cool, but I am not a huge outdoorsman, obviously.

Right now is a great time to buy there with the current prices. I really liked the area, but California has royally screwed up the education system among other things. You can still get great public schools in the bay area, but the prices are astronomical.
If I didn't have kids to worry about, Napa would be near the top of my list.

It's a horrible time to buy in the Bay Area. I know someone who bought a house 4 years ago and just sold it for $100k more than they paid for it, without even putting it on the market. Another friend sold a house for $40k over their asking price because their realtor insisted on two open houses. And their original asking price was like $650k for a 2 bed, 1.5 bath. My landlord had his house on the market for two weeks, sold it to buyers paying cash, and the buyers let them live there rent-free for 6 months after the contract was signed. Anecdotal, but there are numbers that support that.

http://www.mercurynews.com/business/ci_23465903/is-bay-area-housing-bubble-back
Basically everyone I know my age that doesn't have a parent bankrolling a loan isn't looking to buy any time soon because it's so ridiculously expensive. I think there's another bubble here. And most people I know that own admit to a parent giving them a loan on their first house.
Also, most public schools are really pretty shitty, even in places like Berkeley.
Of course, Napa could be different, it's not barely the Bay Area.
I read a while back that Minneapolis was the only metro area with a Top 15 per capita income that wasn't on a coast. Plus midwestern friendliness with reasonably progressive politics.

It's honestly remarkable how average Kansas is at everything.
Kansas climate, worst in the country? SEC land might be worse? I dunno :dunno:Honestly, we might take the cake in worst climate. SEC land doesn't have to deal with ungodly amounts of snow. Also, consider the wind/chill factor and our winter suckiness probably outweighs their hot/humid summer suckiness.

I disagree. Portland is overhyped way too hard. It's basically a larger version of Omaha with I heart Oregon bumper stickers and you can't pump your own gas. The hippie population is out of control and dumb conspiracy theorist dominate local politics. At least Seattle is truly a major city and not just a turd trying to act like one.
And the weather rough ridin' sucks. Especially september-may.
ETA Anchorage AK is actually not very cloudy most of the year, just cold cloudless days. Would be badass but it's pretty rough ridin' expensive.
missouri has worse weather than kansas.
bmw, does portland get much fog? fog is the best weather in the world.

Portland is one of the best kept secrets in the US. It's way less hyped than places like Denver, and it's way more chill. The weather is pretty much temperate all year round, and the summers are perfect. I disagree with pretty much everything you said. The weather from September - May was great this past year. In fact, I'd say September is probably the nicest month of the year for Portland. The "hippie population" is out of control to a certain extent, but no less out of control than the crazy nut job population in states like Kansas and Texas.
Seattle is cool in small doses, but there's too much traffic, and too much of a fishy smell in that city. Seattle is also about 5-10 degrees cooler than Portland, and way more rainy.
:lol:
God must have changed it since I lived there 4 years ago, and hide it when I go to visit the fam.
Portland has an aggressively liberal tone to it that I can only describe as similar to the racial hate in the south. There are bums EVERYWHERE, it is the only place I have seen homeless men get away with exposing themselves and pissing on buildings in broad daylight in public while the police sit and watch. People are either poor as eff or from California and annoying as eff. The weather sucks and the people show it, everyone is paste white and half the population dresses in flannel like it's 1993. The winters are grey and dreary, it has a very dead-end vibe. The trees get old, the ocean is too cold and seeing hood in the distance (on the days you actually can) wears off pretty quick.

LA has a lot of benefits. Just yesterday surfed early in the morning, hiked round noon and rode light rail from the westside to downtown with my bike and enjoyed the city without worrying about traffic in between. Its not as easy to like LA as it is NY, SF, or even New Orleans but its too big and too diverse not to find something you like.
