Overall, considering everything. Cost of living, people, things to do, etc.

California...it seems...is getting more and more fucked with the budget. Kind of depressing how shitty this state is. I love the weather, but outside of that, its kind of a shithole.

You know it's Oregon. Why even ask?

barfo
 
Maybe Chicago? dunno...a bit gritty.

maybe the best place to live in the USA...is Vancouver, Canada!
 
Californians have been moving to Oregon for decades because of the "livability," which is just a fancy way of saying that California fucking sucks.

Best place? Haarlem, NL. Seriously that place is ballah
 
Vegasssss
 
Best place to live if you have money: San Diego or Bay Area

Worst place to live if you are low on funds: San Diego or Bay Area

:D

Have to disagree with you on the Bay Area... It ain't great.

Oregon (mostly Central Oregon) is so much better than California, and it isn't close. Colorado is pretty sweet too, and actually reminds me quite a bit of Central Oregon.
 
Playboy Mansion would be a great place to live. :)

I think this is what sparked this....the other night at dinner I was talking with some peeps about Vegas real estate prices and how fucking low they are right now. I can't live in Vegas though....i get sick of that place after 3 or 4 days.

I think the Bay Area and San Diego are fantastic, even when I was low on funds. Better, though, now that I'm past college and not low on funds...but that's generally true anywhere.

My favourite places to live in the US are the Bay Area, San Diego, Seattle and Boston.
 
Denver is pretty ace, actually. I have a ton of family there, and my wife's from there, so we go back a couple times a year usually.

Sunny 90% of the year, tons of outdoor activities, great sports city (they have a team in every major pro sport), beautiful scenery, decent real estate prices, easy to fly to/from, some excellent higher learning institutions, etc.

There is no "Best Place".Don't bother looking for it.

does livability = selling your shack to afford a mansion?

the people I know who moved up did so because their dollar went a lot further, but they miss the sun.

I guess it depends on what one values. Personally, I couldn't live in Central Oregon . . . for me, Central Oregon is a great place for a second home but not primary residence.

I'm big on diversity and entertainment. I want to be able to interact with many different cultures, have many choices of good ethnic resturants and have ample access to performing arts and sporting events. Bay area is top on my list when it comes to my personal criteria (couldn't do the NY thing, although love to visit).

Not putting down central Oregon. I get why many want to live there (even people in poverty have a great view :D). But the Bay area offers a lot that central Oregon does not . . . it is just a matter of what one enjoys for entertainment . . . besides, Tahoe is only 6 hours away.

Last time I was in the Bay area I was reading the paper and how local law enforcement couldn't even afford a home in their area because of housing prices. Some officers had to commute 1.5 hour each way to Palo Alto to work. I was staying with family Redwood City and couldn't believe the prices of homes or private schools. Clubs, golf courses . . .heck the overall cost of living can be so unbearable to some it takes all the pleasure out of living in the Bay Area.

For a family of four on a national average income, I don't think the bay areacan be a struggle.
