Do you love where you live? Why?

I'm giving some serious thought to leaving my home Chicago in the next few years.

The Sonoran Desert is magical. I love it here.

Hello. I current live in Las Vegas, Nevada. It has it's good and bad points. Very hot in the summer but the winters are nice. No state income tax is a big plus. Always something to do. Right now real estate is way over inflated.

I've become quite fond of the Pacific Northwest since I moved here

@sweetcharlotte the public transit to Seattle is great in theory, I've found. Much less so in practice as the bus takes literally two hours and the train has an enormous donut hole in its schedule on weekdays.

I’m back home after being gone a good while...love my family, so I’m here. But, alas, I don’t belong here, it’s too red conservative for my liking, ugh. I’m taking frequent trips to “legal” progressive states so I can survive.?

I used to live in Chicago. And I still miss it. But we can not use the schools, the crime was getting worse, and property taxes were outrageous. So I fell in love with a 1907 victorian shingle style in Sheboygan Wisconsin. There are some great restaurants,A thriving our community,And a turn of the century movie theater which is also a concert venue. I've seen Jeff tweedy, and Leo Kottke. Wrapped up with a beautiful shoreline, and we're the freshwater surfing capital of the world. And if you venture up here we have a wonderful resort was a water park, and I hear the fishing is not bad either. But I still miss a flavor of Chicago, I live there For 53 years. I guess you can take the man on a Chicago that you can't take out as a man.

I love my land. Galicia in Spain. It is a amazing place in the Atlantic Coast of Europe. Nature is wonderful here. Green landscapes, full of rivers, and also beautiful islands. The weather is nice, because the temperatures aren't cold. This land is green, but sunny.
However, the main problem of Spain is the economy. Too much unemployment. At least, I recommend you look some minutes on line. Search Galicia. Who knows! Maybe you like and decide to move here. See you around

San Diego is the BEST place if you can afford it!

Here in San Diego we have the best weather in the country, year round! The season for mountain biking, sailing, golf, tennis, or hiking Runs from January through December. My biggest complaint is the air quality. Cars, trucks, and power plants constantly fouling the air with harmful particulates and greenhouse gases. And the climate change that those gases are causing has ushered in a new regime of wildfires: their season is now year-round as well. Every year now worse than the last, with multiple megafires at times burning simultaneously. And the Trump administration is hell bent on deregulating the fossil fuel industry. I am especially proud of Californians who are standing up to the illegitimate regime in Washington in moving forward with our commitment to the Paris Accord and the ultimate goal of zero greenhouse gas emissions!

Well, Dublin weather is crap, it's expensive but always good gigs and fun around. So, not a bad place to live in.

I live in Liverpool England. I love my area it is very friendly, good artistic events, galleries and the architecture is outstanding.

Where I live would be great if people in the apartment building next door didn't think that my yard was their yard. It works out that I'm only 50 feet away from them and they cannot stay inside their apartments. They seem to be outside talking and partying all the time. Sometimes I hear them at 3 AM. If it's cold they burn fires out there. I guess that's what dope and booze do to you.

Then we have the weather problem. I hate winters. I always have. It's too frigging cold.

I hate where I live, but many like it.

When I was a young adult I use to live just up 16th St. From the White House and loved that city now that I'm older I have acres live in the country, southern Virginia, and have no neighbors and I love that too.

Try Fort Davis , TX

Waco wouldn’t be a good choice.

where i live now is good in some ways, not in others. i am in the twin cities. i loved living in los angeles, and i adored living in new york. i would have liked to live right in town instead of brooklyn but, you know... money! i do not recommend florida unless you like humidity, old people on drugs driving on the sidewalks, and rick scott.

I am from the coast of NC, currently live in the mountains of NC - the only down side is religion & politics but maybe one day that will change - one can hope, right?
I have lived in CA. (San Diego & Irvine), CO. (Summit County), OK. (Carter County - 1/2 between OKC & Fort Worth), TX (just outside Austin), VA (north western) and WA (Poulsbo - across the sound from Seattle). Each place has wonderful aspects - you just have to find one that fits you.
I love to try new places - my theory, you can always move! But you have to give each location at least 2 years.

Everybody has to be some place. That's why I'm here. I don't have a compelling reason to move. I have a hundred year old house that could use lots of work, but it's paid for. I'm retired and can easily handle my bills. I'm close enough to the Dallas area that I can go down there if I feel the need for horrendous traffic. We have all the major chain eating places, but I cook at home. It's a red area, I dislike that but it would cost me a lot more to live elsewhere. I've been here since '83, so it's home.

Yes, I do. Moved from the Phoenix area to Michigan. Live in a (not officially) historic building in the center of a small town, a few hundred yards from a Great Lake. Huge change in so many ways. Though I'm still adjusting to it, I do like the fact it's not hectic as The Valley. I'm much less wound up.

Yes. Because Songkhla, Thailand is a tropical paradise, and I live six minutes by motorbike from the beach.

I plan to move to Lexington, KY, this year to be near my artist daughter for a while, and then maybe move to Albuquerque, NM, near where I used to live in Durango, CO, in the early 1980s, and where I used to love to go skiing and visit the zoo to pet the manta rays.

My youngest sister and her kids and grandkids are moving there, and my other sister lives nearby.

I've been to 48 states and lived in 11 of them. I prefer the south since I love to garden and prefer warm weather over cold. Sunshine is my friend. Also, the cost of living is so incredibly low where I currently live and housing is cheap. Therefore, money goes a lot further.

A native Oregonian, I relocated to SW Virginia 3 years ago. There’s heavy rain in the summer and fire season’s in the winter; and warm rain = humidity. I’m on the crest of the Blue Ridge, so it’s a little cooler in summer & colder in winter. Winters are dry, sunny, and punctuated with bouts of warmth.

Local politics is red, and too many churches of course.. But State government’s fairly progressive, a blue shift from purple. Cost of living is low and infrastructure is good. Jobs are sparse, but if half-educated, they’re there.. I’m digging in, and unlike Oregon (entire PNW), these old mountains are stable.

You did not say what your employment situation is...find a job first and then follow the money. The question of how you will support yourself should be first and foremost...it is a basic matter of survival.
