Poll: If you could live anywhere, where would you live?

[diamondsnake]

Not taking your job or money or anything else in to account, where would you like to move to?

I am so sick of where I live it is not even funny. I am ready to get out of Florida. I kind of want to move to New Englad... I want to move somewhere beautiful. Liike a small little village tucked away in the mountains.

I am just so sick of the sun and the sand! I hate it!

[DavidMn]

Right here in Minnesota.:nod: If I HAD to move somewhere else, Boston.

[cliffdweller]

Stockholm, Sweden

I know Swedish and the quality of living in Scandinavian countries FAR exceeds that of the U.S. Plus Nordic men are hot. :laugh:

[David]

Ireland because I like the crags & the nooky glens & the storm-tossed seas.

If I stayed in California, I'd want to move to the Humboldt region. The tsunami & hazards expert Professor Lori Dengler lives up there, too.

Great question, chris!!

[CelticGypsy]

I would move to a cute little cottage in England or Bavaria in Germany:blob1: My hubby would love to live on Seventeen Mile Drive in Carmel, CA so he can go golfing everyday near that glorious view they have there:nod:

Right now, we live in a small rural community and any other place sounds alot more exciting:laugh:

[Serrart]

If I ever left Italy I'd go to live in Great Britain, London probably.

Romy

[Patti]

I'd live in southern CA, where it's warm and sunny most of the time. If money were no object, then I'd live in a house on the beach and be a beach bum. Hmm, come to think of it, Hawaii might be nice, too. I think as long as it's warm and sunny I would be happy.

Realistically speaking, I do hope to move back to Phoenix in about two years and live out the rest of my days there.

[paleshadow]

I'd stay on the east coast, but I would go a little further south. Somewhere by the ocean, maybe in the Carolina's or Virginia. Wherever I go I would still want there to be a change of seasons.

[madformac]

Me being me I would have to have three homes... flat in London and villas in Tuscany and Aruba. :nod: :sorry: :D

[GypsySorcerer]

Within the U.S., I'd say Charleston, SC. I just think the city is beautiful. If money were not an issue, I'd buy one of those gorgeous homes on the Battery.

I love London too and think it would be great to live there, even for a year or two.

[cliffdweller]

My sister lives there and just loves it. It's 115 degrees in the shade in the summertime but she just eats it up. At least it's a dry heat, (unlike Austin) but damn that's hot!!

[JazmenFlowers]

New York City. without a second thought.

[Beachwood Mac]

It has always been a dream to live in Manhattan but I really don't see that happening. I'll settle for the visits. There is something to be said about the comfort of home so I guess I would move back to the town where I grew up -Imperial Beach, California.

Where's the poll?

Anyhoo...warm. island. Hawaii? Baja? Fiji? Etc.

[madformac]

Where's the poll?


I was going to ask that myself but discretion got the better of me. :laugh: :laugh:

[Sugar]

In the US I've always had a hankering for the Pacific Northwest.

Then again, I lived in London for six months when I was in college, and it was probably one of the best times of my life, so it would be very tempting to go back there.

[wondergirl9847]

A poll doesn't have to be multiple choice.

Like MFM, I would want houses in various parts of the world. I'd also have a flat in London, a house that I designed, here in Texas and a summer home in Colorado.

Either way, the weather is the same.

[Rickypt]

I'd stay right here in San Francisco. If I had to leave SF, then I'd live in London or the south of France.

[estranged4life]

North America:

Toronto, Ontario or Vancouver, British Columbia

Worldwide:

Tokyo, Japan

Realistically (In the future):

Blanchard, Oklahoma

[Sugar]

Either way, the weather is the same.

LOL I was thinking that! Good thing I like rain.

[amber]

LOL I was thinking that! Good thing I like rain.
You should have moved here a month ago. We've had nothing but. Today, finally, it is partially sunny. And then next monday sunny again. Otherwise...Rain, rain, rain. Say, do you think you would like it as much if you had to ride your bike everywhere? :woohoo:

[Sahara]

Stevie's house!! :blob1:

:rolleyes:

Failing that ... I like living where I am. But an apartment in London would be very cool. London is an awesome place. :thumbsup:

Well, no, probably not. :wavey:

But I don't mind walking in the rain and I love looking at the rain from inside. Mind you, I didn't have a car when I lived in London (or even a bike) and I still loved London and its rain!

[amber]

Yeah, walking in it is charming, I enjoy that. Biking in it is muddy, windy, wet, irritating, and dangerous. :laugh:

[chiliD]

It would have to be somewhere that has had a song written about it...

"Down in Bermuda...the pale blue sea...Bermuda Triangle, yeah, it's easy to believe..."

"On my way to sunny California, on my way to spend another sunny day..."

"Down to St Louis, Joplin Missouri, Oklahoma City looks oh so pretty, you ought to see Amarillo, and Gallup, New Mexico, Flagstaff Arizona (don't forget Winona), Kingman, Barstow, San Bernardino..."

"Rocky Mountain High, Colorado..."

It's the Anaheim & Cucamonga Sewing Circle, Book Review & Timing Association..."

[greatdarkwing]

I'd stay right here in Miami...I love the sun, the palm trees, even the hurricanes..

Hell, tomorrow I took the day to go to the beach :laugh:

I hate the sun, I enjoy the palm trees, and I like a good hurricane now and then, but I am just ready for a change of scenery.

I want to see the fall folliage for a change! I want a white Christmas! I'm just over Florida.

"I don't care for sunny weather, I like the change of seasons better. I like the feel of rain upon my face. I don't care if the snow comes down. Kick the falling leaves around, got to move to some other kind of town". Some how these lyrics seem appropriate!

[macfanken]

What about Pacoima? or Oxnard?

[wondergirl9847]

I want a white Christmas!

Cloudy days are the best. We have so much sun here in Texas and it gets old. When it gets all dark and moody, that's what I love. Right after a light rain, that's just...the best.

Honey, you can have my house. I HATE New England. :eek:

How can you be sick of the beach?! :shocked:

I want to live in Costa Rica. A friend of ours is building a mansion down there on the beach, and I am SO there. ;)

I loved Hawaii, but whenever I thought about living there I would think "Well, if I live here, where do I go for vacation"? ;)

[Patti]

My sister lives there and just loves it. It's 115 degrees in the shade in the summertime but she just eats it up. At least it's a dry heat, (unlike Austin) but damn that's hot!!

I lived there for 5 years and never really minded the incredible summertime heat all that much, particularly when it was sunny and 70 in February! But yes, 115-120 is HOT. No getting around that!

[diamondsnake]

Honey, you can have my house. I HATE New England. :eek:

You hate New England? It just looks so charming and pretty- especially in the fall. It looks so beautiful!

I live five minutes away from the beach, but I have not been in the water in at least five years. I just don't get the appeal. And besides, I have a strange fear of fish. I don't like them touching me!

[irishgrl]

Stockholm, Sweden

yep, I'd like me some of that Viking stuff! :] RAWR!

North America:

Toronto, Ontario


Toronto

rah rah! i always think no one really knows about my little city. :xoxo:

if i were to leave toronto... i would go somewhere that is sunny and warm 365 days a year. it would have to be a major metropolitan city - with a vibrant culture. but also with lots of green space and/or beach land.

any suggestions?

[David]

And besides, I have a strange fear of fish. I don't like them touching me!BWAAAHAHAHAHAAAHAAA!!!!!!!

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :lol: :lol: :lol:

[tuigirl]

some deserted Pacifician island springs to mind :cool:

[diamondsnake]

BWAAAHAHAHAHAAAHAAA!!!!!!!

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :lol: :lol: :lol:
Oh, God! LOL!!!!

But seriously, I am afraid I am going to get eaten alive by a shark or something.

[Mari]

The UK. London, or Manchester. I hear it rains a lot there. I'd feel right at home:D


Or some place rural.. hm, Groningen? Or.. Scotland <3

Or, some place more warm, dry, and sunny.

[ryan8472]

Ughh, believe me, after a couple years living here, anyone could learn to hate it. Sure it's pretty in the spring and especially the fall, but the winters are pure HELL, and the summers are so muggy and disgusting that you almost wish it was -10 degrees. :eek:

I know what you mean about the beach tho. I live about the same distance from the beach, and I never go. Ever. I still think it's pretty to look at though. :nod:

[skcin]

In Strand's house. :wavey: I'm hoping I'd be treated as well as his dogs.

U.S. - Southern Utah; San Diego; Charlottesville, Virginia

Global - Varna, Bulgaria

Realistically - Somewhere up in the Adirondak Mountains, perhaps near Saranac Lake or the AuSable River.

[estranged4life]

I will add NYC to my previous choices mainly because of the info in the link below:

http://www.wrat.com/listingsentryheadline.asp?ID=428150&PT=rocknews

Seems this summer may get very interesting!

[golddustwoman77]

It would definitely be San Fransisco, CA. I went for a week, two summers ago, and I didn't want to leave. Between the amazing food, the rich musical history, beautiful architecture, friendly people, the bay, etc. I don't see any place that compares. It is also extremely close to Napa and Sonoma, and I am such a wine freak. It is the perfect place for me.

A close second would be Hawaii. I went there for my honeymoon, and it is amazing too. I love the whole "mountains on one side and ocean on the other side" thing.

[Chilly Willy]

The mountains of eastern Arizona.

Leaving for yet another vacation there next week.

Doesn't exist on THIS planet! :laugh: (at least, a place that meets ALL the criteria)

[elie]

Oslo, Norway :xoxo:
If I were to choose something more "arty", it would have to be Berlin or New York.

[ragandbone]

Hmm, I thought I posted this last night, and i don't see it...
I would keep a place in San Francisco, and then go live in Galicia, and I might have to have a house (or at least a hut) in Hanalei.
Hey, that's not too much to ask, is it?

[amber]

I can't believe how many people here are willing to tolerate icky weather in their "places they most want to live".
Interesting.
England? Ireland? San Francisco? Northwest Coast? Sheesh. :laugh: Buncha soggy mofos!!!!
And cold! Some of you don't mind the cold! It boggles my little sun/swimming/hardly-any-clothes loving mind!
It's good, though, that way my places won't get hella crowded.
I'd like to add Greece and Spain. Any Mediteranean (sp) access place....
And I'd like to give a shoutout to Catinthedark....:p
