Which of these major cities....

[luv]

....would you rather live in/closest to?

Pick your top three (poll to follow, obviously).

Why do you [want to] live in these cities? What's their appeal to you?

[ModSocks]

Poll Fail!

[tooge]

Id really like to live in

[tooge]

and if I did, I'd every last bit of it

[luv]

My apologies on the delay in getting the poll up. Someone came into the office.

[tooge]

you call it "the office"?

[Donger]

There can be only one.

[ModSocks]

I went with NY, Seattle and Vegas baby, yeah. KC got consideration only because of the Chiefs.

But seriously, why is San Diego not up there. San Diego deserves to be up there much more than that shit hole L.A.

[sedated]

In order (since they aren't all on the list): Vancouver, Chicago, Austin, NYC, Vegas. But I'd take anywhere in Portugal over all those.

[The Franchise]

Kansas City - For obvious reasons.
Las Vegas - For obvious reasons.
Phoenix - I spent 5 years down in Tucson and I love the area. Plus I'm a Sun's fan....so I could go watch some games.

[tooge]

kc cuz its home, chicago cuz it is a very fun town with lots to do, and seattle because i like the outdoors and canada being fairly close

[Bwana]

Off of that list...Denver, because I love mountains and could abuse donk fans.

[BigMeatballDave]

Orlando - My son lives in Florida.

Kansas City - Grew up in the area.

Phoenix - Spent some time in the area and enjoyed it.

[ClevelandBronco]

Denver, Seattle and San Diego were the only cities I'd consider at one time. I'd hesitatingly add Austin.

[rockymtnchief]

Fort Worth for the rodeos and cowgirls. Denver and Seattle to keep me near Montana.

[Buck]

Where did you get this shit list?

[blaise]

I picked KC because I love KC, DFW because I live in that area now and I like it. And DC because I think it's an awesome city. It's big enough that it has everything you'd want-sports, museums, restaurants, architecture, festivals, etc. But it also has a lot of green spaces and you can go out to Virginia and go to hiking trails. You can live there for years and still find cool little neighborhoods and places you've never seen.

[Third Eye]

I left my heart in San Francisco.

[luv]

Where did you get this shit list?

Consider San Diego as being close to LA.

[Bwana]

Fort Worth for the rodeos and cowgirls. Denver and Seattle to keep me near Montana.

I'll tell you what, if I was single, Fort Worth may have been on the list. I still smile when I think back to my trips down there. I still don't know if I could live down there on a full time basis, because it so damn flat.

[Donger]

Seattle in the lead? Why?

[ModSocks]

Consider San Diego as being close to LA.

The two cities aren't even comparable though. L.A is filthy and crowded.

[Buck]

Consider San Diego as being close to LA.

Consider Philadelphia as being close to New York....oh wait thats even closer.

Las Vegas should just be LA too, I guess.

[BigMeatballDave]

Seattle in the lead? Why?Scenery. Thats my guess.

[Otter]

My apologies on the delay in getting the poll up. Someone came into the office.

You're missing the Gaz option you nub!

[rockymtnchief]

I'll tell you what, if I was single, Fort Worth may have been on the list. I still smile when I think back to my trips down there. I still don't know if I could live down there on a full time basis, because it so damn flat.

Tell those girls you're from Montana and know how to two-step...you're in. But, I agree, the flatness would drive me nuts.

[ClevelandBronco]

Seattle in the lead? Why?

Personally, I love the rain. It's one of the few things I don't like about Denver.

[blaise]

At one point my wife and I had a choice to live in Houston or Seattle, and we chose Houston. I wonder about that sometimes. I don't regret it, but I'd like to see Seattle sometime.

[BigMeatballDave]

Where did you get this shit list?Well, as a Chiefs fan, she doesnt recognize the Chargers, so why bother with SD? :)

[ClevelandBronco]

At one point my wife and I had a choice to live in Houston or Seattle, and we chose Houston. I wonder about that sometimes. I don't regret it, but I'd like to see Seattle sometime.

No you don't. Just like you don't want your wife to meet the guy she could have married.

[luv]

Consider Philadelphia as being close to New York....oh wait thats even closer.

Las Vegas should just be LA too, I guess.

I didn't feel like listing every fucking major city. I figure I got a good mix in order to hit most areas around the US. I don't believe I listed more than one city from any given state. Just getting a general idea. I figured people might be able to figure that out. If you feel the need to list a particular city, then do so.

[Donger]

Personally, I love the rain. It's one of the few things I don't like about Denver.

Seattle doesn't get as much total rain as places like NYC and Atlanta, IIRC. For me, it's the lack of sun that would drive me insane.

[Sofa King]

I wouldn't even want to live in Sioux Falls let alone a bigger city than that.

But if i did, i'd go to one where i could have a good paying job with lesser living costs, and consistent weather. 70's most of the time would be sweet.

[ModSocks]

Yeah, Buck, you fucking asshole.

She didn't feel like listing every major city. If you got a problem with that, then you can list it yourself ya big jerk.

Idiot.

[blaise]

Seattle doesn't get as much total rain as places like NYC and Atlanta, IIRC. For me, it's the lack of sun that would drive me insane.

When I lived in Buffalo and Rochester NY people used to say that there were less sunny days in those places than Seattle. Plus you get a ton more snow, a worse economy, and crappier scenery. It could get depressing.

[Bwana]

Seattle doesn't get as much total rain as places like NYC and Atlanta, IIRC. For me, it's the lack of sun that would drive me insane.

Yeah, between the lack of sun and the tree huggers, it wouldn't be my utopia either.

[Buck]

I'm just saying, you included Indy, Memphis, and Orlando but didn't include Miami, SF, or SD. The fuck?

[KCUnited]

Portland.

[luv]

I'm just saying, you included Indy, Memphis, and Orlando but didn't include SF or SD. The ****?

My apologies. If it makes you feel any better, I didn't include Austin, Houston, or San Antonio in Texas, nor St. Louis in Missouri, nor.....

[blaise]

I would maybe list them differently if money wasn't an issue. Like, if I had millions of dollars I'd probably live in NYC.

[Buck]

Orlando is the 79th largest city in the US. 79

[blaise]

Orlando is the 79th largest metro in the US. 79

Dude, it's an internet message board poll. This isn't deciding where people actually live or something.

[Donger]

And apparently I couldn't stand living in San Diego, either. Lots of sandy vajingas.

[Buck]

Dude, it's an internet message board poll. This isn't deciding where people actually live or something.

FUCK THAT

[luv]

Orlando is the 79th largest city in the US. 79

I chose it because it was centrally located in the state. I guess I should have chosen Nashville instead of Memphis for the same reason. I must apologize for my lack of research.

[BigMeatballDave]

Orlando is the 79th largest city in the US. 79Why does that matter?

[Bearcat]

Kansas City -- I like it here, and most of my family/close friends live here.

Phoenix/San Diego/Southwest -- Weather might be the biggest reason I'd move, so if I do, I want to get rid of winter.

Seattle -- there's a lot to do... pro/college sports, mountains, close to the ocean, good night life in multiple areas, good food, it's one of the smartest cities in the country...


Others I might consider...

Chicago -- Winter would suck, but there's so much to do, and it would be a short direct flight to KC.

Colorado Springs/Denver -- If I can't get away from winter, I might as well be close to skiing.

[BigMeatballDave]

[Misplaced_Chiefs_Fan]

Given his attitute in this thread, if Buck represents SD, then I definitely want to be on the other coast. :evil:

[Los Pollos Hermanos]

My goodness, Buck took this thing a little too personal.

San Diego would be a great place to live if it weren't for all the Charger fans... err wait.... San Diego is a great place to live.

[blaise]

San Diego is a dump.

[Rain Man]

Among the cities listed, which don't include San Diego, I'd go with:

Denver (Great place - easy #1)
Seattle (Seems solid, but a bit driving intensive unless you find the right spot)
New York City (I'd love to live here for about two years, but no longer)
Orlando (I have a soft spot for Florida, though without much knowledge)
Los Angeles (Laguna or Newport? Sure. Maybe other beach cities. Inland? No way.)
Las Vegas (There are worse places, and it doesn't have a lot of big-city hassles)
Phoenix (It's probably my least-favorite city in the west, but at least it's in the west.)
Chicago (Downtown would be good. No on the burbs.)
Boston (Unknown commodity, but that puts it in the middle.)
Oklahoma City (Wince. At least traffic's not bad.)
Dallas/Fort Worth (Boring and traffic. Why is there a city here?)
Washington DC (Maybe in Georgetown, but nowhere else. East coast, high traffic, out of touch with reality)
Atlanta (Yippee. The South with traffic jams.)
Indianapolis (As a city, this is one where the heart monitor goes beeeeeeeeeeeeeeep in one continuous tone.)
New Orleans (Corruption, obesity, and annoying accents, but at least there's some nudity.)
Memphis (I'm not sure if there's an American city I would like less.)
Kansas City (I spent half my life trying to get out of Missouri. I'm not going back in.)

[Buck]

FUCK THIS THREAD

IM OUT OF HERE

[Sofa King]

San Diego is a dump.

San Dumpo?

[Otter]

If I HAD to choose I guess it would be Seattle for the season changes, proximity of national forests, being close to the ocean and British Columbia.

None of them tickle my fancy however.

If you chose NYC I question when the last time was you've been there. Unless you know the city or have some serious inside connections it's like Disney World gone very, very wrong.

You would have to pay me a million dollars a year to live there and that might get you a decent apartment and 3 squares a day.

[Donger]

Atlanta (Yippee. The South with traffic jams.)

LMAO

Kansas City (I spend half my life trying to get out of Missouri. I'm not going back in.)

NYC is amazing and has improved dramatically from a decade or so ago due to less crime and pollution.

I agree that it is ridiculously expensive though. I have friends there that would live like kings in other cities, but in NYC they are basically middle class.

If money was no object, I think it would be the easy #1 choice on this list.

[BigMeatballDave]

Kansas City (I spent half my life trying to get out of Missouri. I'm not going back in.)Heh, I actually miss living in Missouri. Then again, I've been living in Ohio since '97. Not exactly Shangri-La.

[eazyb81]

I'm surprised Boston didn't get more votes. It is truly an amazing city.

The winters are rough, but the summers are very nice.

[kepp]

I've never been there, but I hear Chicago is really nice.

[Bearcat]

Funny. I would have thought you'd pick Atlanta in there somewhere.

:doh!:

I really like Atlanta, but it would probably be below the others unless I could live downtown... living downtown or at least a close train ride from downtown would be great, because they have 3 major sports all next door to each other, and the Braves are just a couple miles away.... good nightlife and food, etc.

[Alton deFlat]

I chose Kansas City because I'm familiar with it and I'd be close to family.

Atlanta because it's a warmer climate. Sick and tired of cold winters.

Seattle because I've heard it's beautiful in the northwest.

[Otter]

I went to classes in Manhattan every weekend for a year and a half and have grown to loath the place. As the saying goes; great place to visit, wouldn't want to live there. If I knew people who could show me all the cool restaurants and hang outs tucked away in the alleys and introduce me to the owners and cliques it might be a different story but if you don't have those inside connections it's a McCity filled with McRestaurants filled with McPeople that overcharge and are unfriendly.

No thanks.

Never even noticed the crime or pollution.

[CrazyPhuD]

My goodness, Buck took this thing a little too personal.

San Diego would be a great place to live if it weren't for all the Charger fans... err wait.... San Diego is a great place to live.

Dude have you seen the stadium on game days? There are no chargers fans in SD!

[chiefsnorth]

I am offended that you leave my city off but put places no one wants to live like Memphis or Oklahoma City on the list.

[eazyb81]

So you think the city sucks because you didn't meet friends to show you the cool places?

I lived there for two years and loved it. It has an energy that I have never felt before in another city. You definitely have to go out and explore the city to really appreciate it, but it is so diverse and exciting that it's hard for to believe that anyone loathes it.

I wouldn't mind moving back there, but I'm not sure I would want to raise a family there. It is just too ridiculously expensive.

[ThaVirus]

Seattle? Are you guys retarded?.. Orlando is king of that list. Yes, I'm a bit biased.

Would you agree it's far more difficult to meet and talk to people in NYC than say KC?

There's also a personal bias to NYC being a nanny state, sanctuary city, PC BS capitol of the US. I love San Francisco but would never live there because of what kind of city it is, much like NYC. We just don't see eye to eye on top of the other issues.

[Los Pollos Hermanos]

Atlanta - never
Boston - too cold. No thanks.
Chicago - too cold. No thanks.
Dallas/Fort Worth - While there are some downsides to the DFW area, I've had some pretty good years here. Moving here was one of the better decisions of my life.
Denver - I like Denver. I could probably live there but the Bronco fans would definitely be annoying.
Indianapolis - I can't think of one single reason I would ever want to visit Indiana, let alone live there.
Kansas City - I wouldn't hate living in KC again but I probably wouldn't choose to live there again.
Las Vegas - My dream as a young man was to move to Vegas and become a professional poker player. That dream is dead but I can think of worse places to live.
Los Angeles - I love SoCal. I could live in a suburb of LA. If money were no object I could see myself in a house in Malibu.
Memphis - pass
New Orleans - 10 years ago I probably would have lived there. Not now.
New York City - Too many people.
Oklahoma City - I wouldn't wish living in OKC on my worst enemy.
Orlando - No. I don't ride roller coasters anymore.
Phoenix - I'm not sure. I've never been there.
Seattle - The Northwest is beautiful. I would live there in a heartbeat.
Washington DC - No way.

[OnTheWarpath15]

Vegas, Dallas and "other" - Vancouver.

If I had more money than God, I'd scratch Dallas for San Francisco.

This would actually be a great tournament, but I'm afraid that Kansas City would win it and it would depress me.

[TrebMaxx]

I could live near:
Atlanta - North Area, Buckhead
K.C.
Other, Spokane, WA. It may not be a major city but it is large and close to the mountains, Idaho, Montana and Canada. Also a hop skip and a jump to the Pacific. A lot less rain than Seattle.

[Los Pollos Hermanos]

This would actually be a great tournament, but I'm afraid that Kansas City would win it and it would depress me.

Exclude Kansas City.

[Inspector]

I'd go with Kansas City since I own a house there. Plus I have a bunch of kids and a load of grandkids there too.

[Rain Man]

Exclude Kansas City.

That's a thought. I also thought maybe I'd just say you can't vote for a city you live in.

Agree with you on the second part, but I am in finance and my friends there were too, so I was a bit more secluded from the lefto freaks while I lived there. I doubt I'd live in SF either.

[luv]

I think it's cool that several people love where they live.

[Rain Man]

Make sure to consult Buck to make sure you've included every major city.

I'd be sure to include all of the big California cities: Los Angeles, Silicon Valley, Death Valley, Palm Springs, Burbank, and Hollywood. Did I miss any?

[Donger]

I'd be sure to include all of the big California cities: Los Angeles, Silicon Valley, Death Valley, Palm Springs, Burbank, and Hollywood. Did I miss any?

Fresno and Modesto.

Looking at the poll results, there must be some amazingly cool part of D/FW that I've never seen or heard of. Like a secret redwood forest or something that you only enter through a trap door portal at Gate 47 at D/FW Airport.

Fresno and Modesto.

How did I miss them?

Oh, and San Quentin, of course.

Well, there's Dealy Plaza, where the CIA and aliens killed Kennedy. I was a post-trade show party in a big, cylinder-shaped hotel on the top floor that overlooked the plaza once. It was pretty neat.

[MOhillbilly]

NOTA

[keg in kc]

If I ever had to live near any city, it would be KC, where I am now.

People in cities are assholes. Period. They drive like assholes, they act like assholes, they are assholes.

Kansas City, at least the suburbs, are like this weird hybrid of rural and city. People will make eye contact. They'll talk to you, and generally be friendly about it. It's like having some of the benefits of city life but with country tendencies. I sort of look at it like halfway between the mountains of West Virginia (which I don't like all that much) and a major city (which I don't like *at all*). Most of the good without most of the bad.

Sure, I live in OP surrounded by yuppie assholes in their lexus' and mercedes', but it's really not all that bad...

[siberian khatru]

I voted for just KC, because of the Royals and Chiefs plus it would be just a 2-hour interstate drive to see MU fb and bb (and my parents and sister and her family).

However, if money were no object, I was tempted to add New York, because I love it so much. I also love San Francisco/Northern California -- if I had so much money that it would allow me to put up with all the other shit that goes on there.

I also flirted with Atlanta, Phoenix, Orlando and Chicago. Been to Atlanta and Orlando numerous times and they have a lot to offer, but the traffic just kills me. Phoenix I've been to once and really liked it, but I don't know if I could put up with the heat (and all the immigration politics). Chicago I love but the weather probably would be a deal-breaker for me.

Edit: Dallas I've never been to, but it's always intrigued me. I worry about the traffic there, too.

[Jewish Rabbi]

Make sure to consult Buck to make sure you've included every major city.

Pretty much this.

[sd4chiefs]

I grew up in Kansas City and lived there for 40 years before I moved to San Diego. I have lived here for 15 years now and it is awesome. I could never move back to Kansas City because of the awesome weather here. The only thing I miss is going to the Chiefs games and maybe going to see the Royals but they have sucked since 85. Oh, and the BBQ.

So I pick San Diego and I can't think of anywhere esle I would want to live.

P.S. LA is a dump.

[KurtCobain]

I don't think I want to leave the KC area.

But my second would be Chicago or Columbia because then it'd be less travel for either Bulls games or Tiger games.

Other than that, I hear Denver would be perfect for me from tons of people who have lived out there, but I think I'm good.

As much as Omaha is a suburb of New York City.

So I guess Memphis should be considered being in the same area as Nashville, right? According to Google Maps, it's only a half hour longer in traffic than from driving from San Diego to LA.

[Reaper16]

Kansas City. It's home to me.

Chicago. I really love that city.

New Orleans. Cuz' it's one of the few American cities that are really distinct.

[Rain Man]

Not that it's a major city by any means, but after going to Kodiak, Alaska, last year I could definitely live there as long as that one Chinese restaurant never went out of business.

I find Chinese restaurants in Alaska funny.

They also served a good milk shake. You have to multi-task if you're a Chinese restaurant in Alaska.

[Rain Man]

It closes for the month of February. Then what?!?

February would be a long month, I'm afraid.

The other oddity was that I couldn't find a pizza place there. There was one place on the edge of town that seemed so expensive that I didn't go there, and maybe there was another place that was far enough away that I feared getting eaten by bears. So I didn't have pizza and then couldn't get any pizza for another three weeks after that. Pizza is apparently quite rare in rural Alaska.

Then list for me where you'd like. It's not that fucking difficult.

Getting angry that a white knight isn't coming to your rescue today?

Austin: Future Home of the United States Formula 1 Grand Prix!

Hell yeah! Can't wait. Never missed a race when they were at Indy. :thumb:

Oahu.

[JD10367]

The only cities on that list I've been to (aside from Boston, where I grew up) are L.A., Orlando, Vegas, and NYC. And I wouldn't live in any of those four. So, aside from Boston, I picked Chicago (seems like a good large city) and Seattle (seems like good nature in that corner).

[luv]

Getting angry that a white knight isn't coming to your rescue today?

Yes, because I've relied on them so heavily for the past 6 1/2 years.

[acesn8s]

KC - family
Orlando- It's FL and I love it down there.
OKC - Halfway between parents and children.

[BigMeatballDave]

WTF is Seattle doing in second? In reality it's in 1st, being that most ppl live close to KC and are biased. Las Vegas should be #1 by far.Vegas? :spock: Why? BTW, Brainiac, this isnt a BEST CITY poll, its where would you want to be, so bias had nothing to do with it. Most of the voters live in the KC area, or have in the past. I'd imagine most are basing this on their current situation. If I could afford it, I'd have several homes across the country.

[BigMeatballDave]

I am shocked! Shocked, I tell you, that no one has mentioned a city in Ohio!

WTF is your problem luv? How could you possibly leave out Ohio?

[alnorth]

KC - Proximity to Chiefs/Royals. My dream situation would be to have a second home there, splitting time between KC and somewhere else.

Phoenix - Well, not in Phoenix, maybe 50/100 miles to the north. Beautiful deserts without being too hot, easy access to spring training, easy access to Vegas, less or no light pollution so you can actually see the night sky.

Dallas/Ft. Worth - Taxes

Agreed. My favorite cities to visit (so far) are probably Memphis and Chicago. However, I wouldn't want to live in either of those cities.

[SuperChief]

In order:

New York City - I love this city. In fact, I'm in the planning stages of moving there after I get done with school (any tips from people who have lived there are much appreciated!). This city has so much to offer - incredible nightlife, great variety of eating establishments, lofty career goals, etc. I can't wait to get out there.

Los Angeles - I don't see the hate for LA as per some previous posts. Out of the times I've visited LA for business and pleasure, I've always had very positive experiences. Maybe it's my big-city attitutde that gives me some bias. Anyway, I would love to live in LA (although I'm not a big fan of the heat).

KC - I've always loved KC. With the addition of P&L, it's gotten even better, IMO. It not only hosts my two favorite teams (Chiefs, Royals), but it also has some amazing attractions that I adore as well (the Nelson, Sprint Center, P&L, etc).

Outside the US:

London - I would be absolutely thrilled to move here. Even though it's EXTREMELY expensive to rent here (even higher than NYC and San Fran), I still love everything about that place.

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

KC... near where I grew up, friends and family there, I can go to a Royals game whenever I want.

Seattle... Because I like Seattle

Chicago... Because I like Chicago, although I hate all their sports teams so that would be tough.

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

WTF is Seattle doing in second? In reality it's in 1st, being that most ppl live close to KC and are biased. Las Vegas should be #1 by far.

Because Seattle is awesome and not only would I never want to live in Vegas, I'm not even interested in visiting.

[luv]

I chose KC, Orlando, and New Orleans.

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

I chose KC, Orlando, and New Orleans.

I almost went the exact same 3 but I thought Orlando might be a little too touristy... yes I've been there... and I loved New Orleans when I was there but a lot of it (it seems) is depressed, and they have no baseball team.

Okay, but, considering gambling is the main appeal, one could conclude that, if one is not into gambling, then Vegas might not be appealing to that person.

prude lol..... not even a little bit.

I'm not saying I wouldn't visit Vegas. I wouldn't refuse to go if I needed to go... I just wouldn't choose it in my top 12,986 places to visit. But if I ever get to 12,987 on my list I'M THERE!

[blaise]

I have no desire to go to Vegas either, and I'm no prude or straight laced kind of guy.

[Easy 6]

Somewhere warm near either ocean, but not a big city, some small town by the water in Florida maybe, maybe the gulf.

LOVE to visit the big city, dont wanna live there.

[ModSocks]

Uhm...no.

Gambling does not appeal to me. Vegas does. People gamble is Vegas because it's there, but that's not WHY people go. At least not the people I know.

It's about the night life. The hotels are sights to behold all in themselves. All the bars and drinks, live bands all over the place. Walking down the street sipping a big ass drink wrapped around your neck.

Not to mention all the bajillion shows, great resturants and buffets all over the freaking place.

Vegas is just a cool place to visit. Gambling or not.

[ModSocks]

Do you enjoy the night life in your home town?

North County SD. Trust me, you'd love it. Nothing but perfect weather and small town beach life.

It's not till you get to Central San Diego do you start experiencing the hectic city life. Even then, it doesn't compare to L.A and the like.

No, I've never been. There seems to be plenty of stuff to do in Dallas. If I need to see a music act or a play or something, we get plenty here. I don't gamble much, so I don't know why I'd bother going there.

Good.

I know it may not be on your list of places to visit, but i know you'd enjoy it. We have a great night life here in SD, but it pales in comparison to Vegas.

There is so much to see, do , drink and eat it's almost overwhelming.

I can't wait till I get my fat bonus. I'm going back to Vegas again. The Hotels are freakin' incredible.

Hell, if you find the right hotel, you won't need to leave it. When i use to go with our shop to the SEMA show, we found a hotel off the strip for $65.00 a night.

Inside this hotel was an Arena, 14 screen movie theater, 9 restaurants, 1 buffet, Arcade, couple of swimming pools, day spa etc etc.

Fuck...i wanna sip a margarita and lay out by the pool right now.....

Now you're going to hear it for the 3rd time. Don't really care about night life as I'm a day person.

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

Now you're going to hear it for the 3rd time. Don't really care about night life as I'm a day person.

This was kind of where I was going with not being interested much in Vegas myself. I have no moral opposition to gambling, I just don't find it fun. I don't care about nightlife a lot so that isn't a selling point for me. Fancy hotels... ok, not gonna get me there... big pretty lights and lots of food... gotta do better. I'm sure Vegas is a lovely place, I just haven't found a reason to be excited about it for myself.

I'm more of a ballgame, museum, something fun with my kid, R&R person when I go somewhere.

[ct]

Chicago
Denver (love mountains, would probably sub in Tahoe instead to avoid free range donkeys)
Seattle

KC's already a 2nd home, have family up there.
Austin, TX should be in that list, probably slot it #3.

[Bearcat]

I've known a few people that lived in Vegas who said they hated living there... I've never been there, but it seems like it would be one giant tourist trap with no pro sports or much else besides night life (meaning, a great place to visit, but not live). I'm not a big fan of touristy towns. :shrug:

[Mr. Flopnuts]

I voted for where I came from, where I came too, and Vegas. Soooooo much to do there.

My dad lived there for 3 years, loved the endless variety of activities but ended up moving because of the ridiculous level of violent crime.

[HonestChieffan]

I've lived in Denver and Indy. Would not do either again for any reason. Denver is a dump.

I would consider Charleston SC and areas around there.

Yeah, I listed Vegas as a place to live, but i can see where you're coming from. Outside of the strip, Vegas is fugly and full of nothing but track housing. Every strip mall looks identical.

[eazyb81]

Am I the only one shocked that Seattle is leading this poll (ex-KC)?

I wonder how many people voting for Seattle have actually been there.

It's a fine city, but I've always been pretty "meh" about it. What's the argument for Seattle?

[Otter]

I just want to let Luv know how appalled and angry I am that she didn't mention Tenny, Minnesota in her poll. Big shot Luv too good for us.

Well screw you Luv! We're people just like you with feelings and pride. :cuss:

[Buck]

Denver is the only city I've ever been to that I'd consider leaving San Diego for.

I think a lot of the voting is unfair due to not having been there.

I'm surprised, because people who really like it there tend to talk about how it's a very underrated city, "the country's biggest secret," etc. I was there last Fall and really enjoyed the area. Stayed next to the Needle for Bumbershoot, went to Pioneer Square/Pike Market, the U District, and Capitol Hill, which were all very walkable and had good public transportation. We spent a day at Olympic National Park, and I'm not a huge nature person, but I really enjoyed it.

As far as the daily grind.... I get tired of KC's Spring, because just the other day it was like 40 degrees at 5pm, and I just want it to be hot... so that would be annoying in Seattle, but there's also not much extreme cold or hot weather. I'd probably have to live in the city, and after seeing the traffic going north from Tacoma when we were going south to Olympic National Park, there's no way I'd live down there or put up with traffic like that on a daily basis.

For the first/only time in my life, I was asked if I needed a place to smoke crack, so the people are friendly.... ;)

The only problem is the cost of living. A 2 bedroom, 2 bath, condo in Encinitas will run you about $300k.

[Alton deFlat]

I think a lot of the voting is unfair due to not having been there.

True. Of the three I voted for, I hadn't really been to two of them. I guess I have been the Atlanta, but only the airport, so you can't really count that. Of the other ones I've been to.

Dallas: Wouldn't hate it, but wouldn't want o try to get around the city. Always seems very FAST paced.

KC: I voted for it, and like many different parts of the city. Plaza, downtown / city market, Brookside, etc. Plus, LOVE the BBQ!!!!

Vegas: Too tourist oriented. I don't really look at it as a place to live.

LA: No thanks. Too damn big.

Memphis: Some of it seems very nice. Germantown area. Others?

New Orleans: Another no thanks. Just couldn't do it. Would probably always be waiting for another Katrina.

Oklahoma City: Not a bad place at all. Not too far from family. I could live there.

Orlando: Another tourist destination, but does seem a little more livable than Vegas.

Phoenix: Been there several times, and kinda like it. Every time has been in the summer. It's a huge city, but still has kind of a small town feel.

DC: Lots to see and do, but would absolutely hate the traffic.

[Rams Fan]

Milwaukee is kinda awesome, except for the weather.
