Where are the best places to live?

[krit]

I hate to impose but if my wife and I visit, will you show us around? I'd buy dinner and drinks.

My wife is a Northerner (midwest) and loves cold weather.... go figure. The closest friends/family are in Colorado which isn't quite the same.

For sure. Always down to show people around. Seattle is great, I'd highly recommend coming in the summer when the weather is nicer, but if your wife likes the cold weather she can come anytime.

Everybody’s got different preferences, depending what you like these are basically fantasy

very simple here a good looking beach and the smell of ocean water, with the sun kissing your body

that does sound nice and is honestly one of my main issues about florida, too many people stacked up. and theyre building even more condos/towers! going to be impossible to drive around certain areas of soflo

West coast is growing. Ive been looking outside Tampa. There are houses that were 200k 5 yrs ago and are for sale now for 450k.

south florida is too saturated

In America hands down it is California, no other state even comes close. Sure you will get different peoples opinions. But California is its own place, own style own rules, own everything.
Outside of America hands down Vietnam, here is my list of my top 5

1. Hanoi, Vietnam
2. Santa Barbara, California
3 Phnom Penh ,Cambodia
4. Taipei , Taiwan
5. Shenzhen , China

My list hasn't changed.

Yeah, California’s definitely changed a lot over the years. Still some great spots though depends what you’re looking for! What places are on your list now?

OFF TO PRESCOTT, ARIZONA!!!!!

Didn’t want to “jinx” anything before it was official, but the money on both sale & purchase are official. My last day of ‘work’ (been phoning it in for a couple weeks now) is “officially” today, so I guess now I’ll be hitting the job boards. Pretty much every room looks like the wife’s “she-shed” - all boxed up.

Very bittersweet, both my wife & I are So. Cal. natives, and have lived here our whole lives, but it’s time. All of our families are either dead, or living in Arizona (or somewhere other than California), we’re not getting any younger, and we...

You ask 10 people this question and you will get 10 different answers but for me I'm happy where I'm at currently. If it were up to me I would love to live in Florida. They have great weather, lots of activities and I think it would be a great place for Uber and Lyft with all the theme parks, convention centers, cruise ports etc....

Speaking of which, everyone here knows I love to cruise and I would be more accessible to be able to do that living down there as well

Not in my opinion. I am from there, it shaped me who I am. I have been all over America and there is no place like Southern California. 805 to be exact. I would never live there again but for some reason if I was forced to live in America again, that is where it would be. @gauchojake
