Where would you most like to move? (continental U.S. only)

[ZepSinger]

So the plan is, in 25 months when Mrs. Z gets her Master's, we are planning to move to Biloxi MS. Biloxi is right on the Gulf- we've vacationed there many times over the last decade, and decided after our last visit that Biloxi is where we want to make our home. We are very excited and can hardly wait for it to happen.

Which got me thinking- where in the continental US would you most like to live? Be realistic- take into account real factors like cost of living, property values, job prospects, quality of schools, climate, geography, etc.

Include a pic of your desired location if you like:

San Diego

Mississippi? Yall must be white. Carry on. I would probably say Denver.

[tredadda]

Right where I live, Ft Collins, Colorado

Why the continental US only? Puerto Rico, Alaska, Hawaii would be my my first 3 choices.

Yeah, there's hardly any black people in Mississippi.

On second thought, yeah, anywhere in the USA is fair game... :-)

Isn't Mississippi the poorest, most uneducated, and most obese state in the country?

No offense if that really is your choice, but I am shocked that you would prefer to live there over anywhere else in the country.

I would guess he is referencing the possible disparity in quality of life there between white and black people. Not unlike making the assumption that someone desiring to live in rural KS is not likely an agnostic MSNBC watcher with a degree in womens studies.....

As a Mississippian, I'd say you picked a good place. Biloxi is great place to live. My family has had a beach home down there since the mid 90s. I've actually been tossing around the idea of moving down that way once my lease is up here in Madison.

A couple options that come to mind include St. Petersburg, Hilton Head, Charleston, San Francisco, Boston, Malibu, and Austin.

I was in Bloomington, Indiana a few years back. Really liked it there.
College town, with quite a bit of things to do.
Price was right as well.

Wherever I move next, I want a big piece of property, at least 1 acre.

[spanky 52]

Boulder, Colorado or San Francisco.

Not the most uneducated - but you're right about the other two (at least in the top 5). Cost of living here is also very low.
