Bisbee, AZ. A nice quiet town with an artist community.

My opinion is inconsequential after reading all of you replies. Maybe this country isn't as fucked as it feels like after the news.

edinburgh architectures spot on culture is amazing and though reserved people are generally nice and helpful to strangers and friends alike plus we have an extinct volcano plug bang in the centre

Asmara, capital of Eritrea (although when I lived there between 1968-1972 it was considered a province of Ethiopia)... the city is a jewel, a northern Italian gem built in Mussolini’s Africa when Eritrea was an Italian colony... it is a UNESCO heritage site, filled with arguably the greatest collection of Art Deco architecture in the world - as an example, here is my addition to Atlas Obscura about one of the outstanding buildings in Asmara: [atlasobscura.com]

The country, long considered dangerous due to the repressive government, is beginning to loosen again thanks to the rapprochement with Ethiopia after 20+ years of hostility. Filled with natural beauty, important archaeological & historical sites, & a rich & hospitable culture, it was an outstanding place to live when I was there, & if I could afford the cost of the trip, I would gladly return.

I grew up on a lake in Michigan. Glowing sunsets filled the sky with colors, reflected in the lake, and streaming into our living room windows.

Skinny dipping at night made me a lifelong sensualist. August evenings at the lake were warm as bathwater, accentuated by icy cold streams flowing up from the bottom. It was an exquisite experience I long to share.

Lived near here for a bit when I was a kid. Trying to get back.

None of the places I've lived at so far. I grew up in the Vancouver (BC) area, and most people would say how beautiful Vancouver is. Ugh, not if you live there. Rainy, gloomy days most of the year, high crime and drug use rates, crowding, high cost of living, terrible transportation system. It's fine if you're a tourist who just gets to see the pretty and trendy places.

I live outside of Edmonton now in the country, and I do like it out here, away from people, lots of space. But I do have to deal with the inconveniences of country living (long distances to anything, higher costs for foods and goods, very conservative minded population).

That would be Burlington, VT where I lived for 3 years. Always something to do, had a circle of friends and beautiful scenery. Where I am living now with Dan is a geographically beautiful area and only 2 hours away.

Every place I have lived have it's own magic and place in my heart. All different and each unique in it's own way. I think any place is what we make of it.

Huntington Beach, CA.

Santa Barbara, CA.

I've lived in 11 states in the USA and spent extensive time in Great Britain.
I've been to 48 of the States in the USA and 63 countries total

I can be happy anywhere I can garden, have internet, and make money....and where humans can live and work freely by their choice.

I’ve lived in CA, IL, and NJ, and I’ve spent a lot of time in OR and WA. I would move to OR or WA in a heartbeat.

My place.

My favorite place to live is Planet Earth.

Oh, you want me to be more specific? Okay ... How about Washington state? The land is beautiful, and the people are generally liberal. Very refreshing, after living in the "conservative" Bible Belt.

(P.S. I put the word 'conservative' in quotes because I don't know what it is they are trying to conserve. Certainly not the government; they want to reduce it to the size that they can drown it in the bathtub. Certainly not the environment; they want to continue polluting it. Certainly not human rights, the rule of law, or American values; they trash them as often as they can. Oh, the ignorance!)

Kounipidiana Village minutes from the city of Chania, in the island of Crete, Greece. In the 90's. The wife was 7,000 miles away. Cost me a Divorce... I will do it again. It was like living on Spring Break from late February to late November. Except the Women were Sophisticated, European Young Ladies down to Earth to Party Hearty. There is Nothing like Island Living!!! Best time of my life. I was born in an Island after all! I just relocated to the city in a crater of the moon. Away from anyone that knows me! Can't smell the Ocean in the air!!! But it will do me fine. Until I am ready to return to Europe, maybe one of the Baleares Islands. Since I already lived it... I just want the noise of Party in the background. "Island Living fer Life!!!" Growing up in San Juan was not bad at all!!! I was the Prince of Santurce. Despised by all the girls in my neighborhood because I never dated anyone from my hood! Thank You Poster for the Memories!!!

.....the gulf islands. Its an interesting step back in time while most have access to cherished modern ammenities as well ?.

Puget Sound, Washington state.
I've lived in Michigan, all over California, Texas and Illinois. Settled here in 1981. Love it!

Cheltenham, England. While other Americans I worked with were traveling to France & Ireland, I took in as much of my surroundings as possible and built a lot of amazing friendships

So far? Portland Oregon. Good transit in the tri-country area, and also lots of great places to hike in nature with lots of forests streams and lakes not too far outside the city.

London. God I miss living there...?

Montana! I've been here since 1994, and absolutely love it. The area I reside in is mostly conservative and christian, but I've met some great people here, and the landscape is gorgeous!

Besides Lopez Island, Heidelberg Germany. Lived in the Altstadt (old city) 15 wonderful years.

Cologne - Germany

I only lived in Montreal, Canada. But it's such a great city. So much to do and see
