Poll: If you could live anywhere, where would you live?
 
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 04-13-2006 03:40 PM

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

cliffdweller 04-13-2006 03:46 PM

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 04-13-2006 04:03 PM

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 04-13-2006 04:09 PM

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 04-13-2006 04:12 PM

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

Patti 04-13-2006 04:15 PM

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 04-13-2006 04:18 PM

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 04-13-2006 04:18 PM

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

GypsySorcerer 04-13-2006 04:24 PM

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.

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 loved Charleston. I remember when I was like when I was 12 or so.

JazmenFlowers 04-13-2006 04:35 PM

New York City. without a second thought.

Beachwood Mac 04-13-2006 04:35 PM

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.

Sugar 04-13-2006 05:06 PM

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 04-13-2006 05:11 PM

Lol
 
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 04-13-2006 05:18 PM

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 04-13-2006 05:19 PM

Hmmm...
 
North America:

Toronto, Ontario or Vancouver, British Columbia

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 04-13-2006 05:35 PM

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!

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

chiliD 04-13-2006 05:49 PM

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 04-13-2006 06:01 PM

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!

wondergirl9847 04-13-2006 06:47 PM

Me too.

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.

It happens, it can grow boring for some...as for me, top down in my convertible, driving along the beach...HEAVEN!
