Which City Would You...

[InquisitivePsyche]

If you could choose a city to live in (IN the U.S.), which one would you choose? If you could move anywhere without any problems, which city would you like to live in? Just curious.

I'm not sure where I would want to live. I like Chicago (minus the weather half the year)... But I'm open to other experiences, too.

 

[nefertiti]

Austin again or San Diego.

 

[DannoMight]

Austin again or San Diego.

San Diego for sure. I live really close to Chicago and could do without the weather. Especially when I have to drive home from work in a blizzard down the Dan Ryan.

Oh yes it does suck. But there are ups and downs with every city. Chicago has the most beautiful architecture and during the Spring and summer it's so fun at the lake and just around the city in general. I love that part of it. Plus I love four seasons (although I wouldn't mind if winter was a bit shorter).

Snow doesn't bother me. But yes, the driving SUCKS. Edens, Kennedy, Dan Ryan - all those.

I like driving around and seeing some of the skyscrapers I worked on. Like the at&t building, soldier field, and the hyatt center on wacker 2 blocks north of the sears tower. I also helped build a lot of schools outside downtown.

That is awesome. Soldier Field is beautiful. I love all the old buildings. Especially in the loop, if you look at them and near the top, they have such great artwork.

I'd have to visit more cities to know which one I'd prefer to live in. It's different visiting a city and loving it verses actually residing there.

What's one city (or a few) that you would NEVER live in?

New York: just seems too crowded and I like having a car

Anywhere in Texas: Get's too hot and my job doesn't pay enough down there with all the Texicans

L.A.: I stayed there for a week and it was really dirty and have tons of bums capmed out everywhere. South of there is really nice though.

Yeah L.A. is DEFINITELY one city I would never live in. I didn't like it at all. I don't think I'd live in NY either.

I have visited Denver before and really liked it but I was younger then so who knows...

I went to see a friend in denver a few years ago after I broke my collarbone. It was beautiful out there and all the people were nice. We aslo seen Primus at the Red Rock theatre. It was the best venue I've ever went to for a concert. I'd definately live there. We also went to Vail which was nice. Its like a pedestrian town. And we also hit up Breckenridge. I may go there again later this year when I can actually go snowboarding instead of going in the middle of June all banged up.

 

[Megalomaniac]

large cities: Denver, San Diego, Boston, maybe one of the florida cities

smaller cities: Austin for sure, Raleigh, NC, Bozeman MT

 

[MichaelScott]

daytona beach, fl

 

[p0ink]

i'm done with cities. i would rather be shot than live in one again.

 

[KillahBee]

San Diego without even thinking. Been in NYC, have no desire to live in LA. No desire to really live in the south. Could maybe handle Atlanta or Charlotte for 6 months or a year.

 

[Raptorex]

Lived in SD, Lajolla -tons of surf punks there, you wouldn' survive w/o kickin some ass. Never had so many knockouts in my life.

lol. It wouldn't last long term, but I could do it for a few years. I've spent a lot of time there and have close friends who have lived there. It's my next move.

That is what I did, moved out there with friends who had a base, one friend ran security for the Malibu Beach Club and I had one in Solana Beach, it was insane...lots of fun, beautiful girls, etc. but those west coasters are jealous of us city wops...its just the way it is.

good luck.

Come on, New York is THAT city.

Best night life in the world.

I really like Edinburgh in Scotland but its too cold. I also really liked Paris, France but it sucked a little because they didn't speak English that well and my French is mediocre.

 

[gotmilk]

Aspen or Bainbridge Island

I don't care about nightlife. If I did, I'd move to Europe since they have the best nightlife over any place.

P.S. This thread said any city IN THE U.S. - hehe.

You think Europe has a better nightlife than NYC? if so, where?

I'm surprized you don't care about nightlife considering you're a female in her early 20s.

But, yeah, I think Washington was another cool US city to live in.

 

[biteme]

Huntington Beach or other places on the Southern California Coast.

 

[Stefka]

Right now my number one choice would be NYC. But I don’t know if I could live there forever.
I also love Jackson Hole, WY and Telluride, CO.
I lived in San Diego and Denver - they didn't really do it for me.

what are you looking for in a city? good jobs, safe, transit? as for best night life it isn't europe if you are a guy, I love asia.

 

[Stefka]

Oh - I forgot San Francisco. That is the only city I'd move back to CA for.

 

[Mr. dB]

I want to walk out my front door and be somewhere around 11th St in Greenwich Village. But out my back door I want lakefront property in rural Arkansas.

 

[manny78]

NYC (Manhattan).

 

[javaguru]

I thought San Francisco was a great city.

When I was in Greece it was 10X better than anything I've experienced here. I've also heard the same thing about Israel (from my brother).

I am not big into the nightlife/clubs. I really don't care for them actually. I am too busy with school, my family, b/f, fitness, work now, etc, to care about that. I'm entertained in other ways.

I heard vegas was better than NY as in the club life.

btw how does lestat end up in all these dudes places?

 

[InquisitivePsyche]

what are you looking for in a city? good jobs, safe, transit? as for best night life it isn't europe if you are a guy, I love asia.

I'm not looking for anything in particular. I like Chicago a lot. It has everything that I want (except I get sick of the cold weather at times).

I was just wondering everyone else's thoughts.

Yeah, I can imagine some places in Greece would be cool as are some places in the south of Spain and nearby islands. Again, tho language is a problem imo.

Israel isn't in Europe yo! I'd love to go there but I'd be wary of all the trouble etc.

I am not big into the nightlife/clubs. I really don't care for them actually. I am too busy with school, my family, b/f, fitness, work now, etc, to care about that. I'm entertained in other ways. .

Each to their own, and while I do some of the stuff you mention I prefer to use my 20s to wil' out. You're only young once.

I heard vegas was better than NY as in the club life.

lol, yeah I've heard Vegas is cool, iono about better than NYc since I haven't been to the former. I'm planning a trip to Vegas tho.

 

[InquisitivePsyche]

I know Israel isn't in Europe. I'm just saying..

Also, yeah - I guess everyone wants to live "their young days," but I never really enjoyed the club atmosphere. I didn't like what I was around. Just me. So whatever makes you happy, do.

 

[Island Son]

I'd live just outside Toronto. Health care, nice people, good international rep for when I travel. Not enough big architecture and culture.. for that I'd live in Europe to feel rooted to the past as a human being. Otherwise, the US seems like a pretty cookie-cutter type place... except for the accents, what's the difference?

You would have to ask him, the guy just sneaks up on ya.

There is a huge difference. Each state seems to have its own unique personality. You would think LA and NYC were in different countries.

 

[puddlemonkey]

Denver? Why? Its a giant ghetto! I was there about 7 months ago and I couldn't believe how dirty the place was. Not to mention the damn airport is a billion miles away from ANYTHING!

I don't remember Denver being like that. I think it depends where in the city you are. Every city is going to have its downfalls. I liked Denver for the most part. And the mountains are right over there, too.

 

[digimon7068]

i like living in the sticks. . .however, i lived in pittsburgh for 12 years. . .i liked it but i don't miss it. . .cities that i've spent time in and really liked (besides pittsburgh)?

cleveland

columbus

nashville

i've spent time in lots of other ones but those were the most friendly, cleanest and coolest. . .of those, nashville wins hands down. . .

Aww that's sad. I doubt you've been to EVERY city to make that judgement. Some are really beautiful! I loveee Chicago! Especially in the spring/summer/fall and part of winter.

San Diego women are too hard LOL as in "not easy"

You coulndt pay me to move my kids to the states sorry too many trigger happy mofo's.

ps. lets not turn this into a USA is better than Canada thread.

Canada is not the best country.

I would move to Japan tomorrow with family in tow. Wife loves it there too.

You serious?? I was there in January and ended up hanging out with a local chick who is probably in my Top 3 of attractive women KB has hung out with. Maybe it's easier for an East Coaster?

Oh I hung out with them all right but could never close the deal

props to you if you have better luck though.

Ahhhh - indeed.

 

[calveless wonder]

no wonder san diego and san fran are so freakin expensive. everyone wants to live there

I don't get how people can live in little, small lame cities. maybe it's because i see no challenges there. Even atlanta doesn't really feel like a city to me. If it's not NYC, miami, chicago, LA, boston and maybe a couple of other places in the US it doesn't really feel like a city to me.

That being said.....NYC for 6 months of the year(spring, summer)...and having a vacation house where its warm 6 months of the year. san diego...i can even still handle south florida in doses and still enjoy it.

nothing beats living in manhatten.....if you have a shitload of $$$$. Gotta clear a mil a year to live good in manhatten, and even then you're still considered a nobody and if you have kids you'll never get them into private school lol. Getting your pre-schooler into a decent private school is harder than a college kid getting into an ivy league school. no joke
what a city.

 

[Scotsman]

So far in all my travels I haven't seen any city in the US that would lure me away from Denver. I live up in the northwest end and love the location. Still not a really big city, but big enough to have everything you need.

Cheers,

I like Chicago a lot it is very much like Toronto at least the North end but the weather is like ours the suck. NYC would be pretty great too but again the weather is simialr to Toronto but don't know if I could move to Cali somewhere either cause there is no seasons but the weather is always nice so I hear. Maybe San Francisco...

I think I could do San Fran for 6 months or so. I like it there, at least it has some style. Gay style, but style nonetheless

Plus that weather is solid year-round. perfectly my style - not hot and not cold.

 

[chewyxrage]

I live outside chicago and that's how I like it. Living in Chiccago, doing ANYTHING is a big process and takes forever. I'm impatient. I won't wait 20 minutes for a drink at a bar, I won't wait around for subways to take me where I need to go, I need a car and need to be able to do accomplish my task in a timely manner or I will feel like killing someone.

I do love living right outside, I can pop in on a train for the weekend and see all my buds and then leave and be back in where there is trees and grass and golf courses

you ask too many questions

city? no thanks. i prefer the country.

i've spent time in san fran, and NYC (lotsa time in NYC) though, and if i had to choose one, i'd go for the gusto in NY.

Honolulu or someplace in the United States Virgin Islands or any U.S. island territory like it. Fuck the rest.

racist!

only half of my family came on rafts.





Miami isn't THAT expensive...compared to up north. Cost of living is so cheap here compartively. If you want to live on the ocean or party in south beach everynight that's another story....but compare per $300-350 sq ft on the ocean to $1000-1200 a sq ft in a decent area in manhatten, or even a house in a nice part of jersey.

Denver is a great place, that's for sure. I like it better than where I was living down south before this. Good people, good feel to the city, fittest city in the US, best city for singles in the US, it's all here.

Kid Rock put on a great show last night in Vail.
