If You Could Move

They never tell you what you need to know.
Let’s say your current job was going to transfer you anywhere you wanted inside the USA tomorrow. Your family (if you have one) was cool with the move and your housing situation was taken care of too.
Where would you go and why there? OR if you’re totally happy where you are what keeps you there?

The economy is very strong in Colorado right now. So there's that. I'm also very active outdoors (hiking, camping, backpacking, etc.). Colorado is brilliant for all that stuff.
I am sick of the brown dry desert. Too much sun I like seasons.
Same page as the others: booming economy there, tech jobs, outdoor activities.
But if I really had to make a choice it'll probably be Texas or Florida
Hawaii would be my first choice. Honolulu.
Boulder Colorado my second.
I haven't spent enough time in San Diego to know if I could live there but I enjoy visiting.
I’d live in NYC if I could live in Manhattan, and not some other borough and have to ride a train everyday into work.
I’d probably go with Austin, TX. I could actually afford to live there and there’d be plenty to keep me occupied. Aiming high would be Seattle.
And I lived in NYC for a few years in the Midtown East area Chelsea Area which at the time was the up and coming place to live. I liked living there but as you get older it also becomes tiresome.
I had a decent size group of friends--all single and all of them swore they would never leave the city. Not a one of them is there anymore. About the time you hit forty the suburban flight starts to take place.
If I had to pick a place to live based on climate it would be Santa Barbara CA or Santa Fe NM.
I’m happy where I am.
I love poker, the fancy buffets and the sportsbooks. Proof that I’d go out and be bankrupt and homeless in a gutter within 6 months of moving there because I’d have no discipline.
I have another close friend who live in manhattan with 2 kids under the age of 3. Yeah, he’s trying to desperately move further out. I don’t have any kids so that wouldn’t be an issue.
Of course all my picks are fantasy and not reality.
i'm in nyc. you will be miserable here regarding the strip club scene. you got it good over where you are at. the only advantages nyc may have is variety of food, no need for a car and very easy access to daily amenities(newspaper, food, cigarettes, etc)
but then again if earning 2 mill a year i guess you could fly to detroit every other week.
The whole southwest is that way, and I don’t like the snowy winters in the northern Rockies. The Pacific Northwest is too expensive, cloudy, and shitty traffic. Everyone is dressed like they’re going on a hike.
1. The Strip, and all the people who enjoy it.
2. The people in the suburbs who never go to the Strip.
My guess is that locals who avoid the Strip lead happier lives.
Outside of the US: I used to live in the Frech/Walloon part of Belgium and I would kill somebody to afford to move back.
