If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be, why, and what is keeping you from living there?

hmmm some poll.... USA... USA.... USA!!!!

 

[StageLeft]

Seaside, Florida.

Can't go there because houses are a ton and there is nothing I could do to support myself while there.

Either that or live in the Alps in switzerland with a private jet.

Can't do that because money.

It's always about the money!

I meant for you to be specific, not just country.

 

[BigJelly]

Mequon, Wisconsin. Because there has NEVER been a democrate elected in that city. And all the teachers are republicans (im serious and not supprisingly we have the best public school in wisconsin).

 

[notfred]

California.

 

[AreaCode707]

Potter Valley, California. Little nowhere spot in NorCal. Right now school is keeping me from there, and in a few months when I graduate, well, indirectly ATOT is responsible for keeping me from there.

Right where I am, So. Calif. Everything I want is right here.

 

[gopunk]

here (seattle). nothing is keeping me from living here, i am here

it's great because we don't have an extremely large number of rabid right-wingers.

i also like it because my family is here, the weather is great (if you don't like it, stfu and leave), and it is close to nature.

Ireland.

Moved here with family, but its tough to find financial openings over there... they've concentrated most new jobs in the tech sector, but I don't want to leave my business that i have here.. I've spent too long building it to just leave it..

If I had a secure job and nice place to live I wouldn't mind trying Sydney or Brisbane, Australia.

North Shore, Oahu-Hawaii in the Fall/Winter; California high desert in Spring and San Diego in the Summer.

Why? PERFECT weather.

And NOTHING is keeping me from living these places (although I won't get back to Oahu 'till November, this year after spending the Summer again in San Diego).

Right now, even having seen some beautiful sights in New England and in Michigan's Upper Peninsula I'd have to say that the only place I can consider "home" is Northwest Ohio. I want a nice old farmhouse in the middle of a huge field. Many acres of land.

Thailand


Job, family, language, 500K in cash

 

[poopaskoopa]

Hong Kong or Spain.

 

[BigNeko]

Perth, Australia.

Was just there for first time. Weather was perfect. Small city with friendly people. No pollution.

 

[her209]

On a island inhabited only with hot young females.

EDIT: Do I need to explain?

 

[Bushwicktrini]

Trinidad & Tobago... beautiful Island bout 7 miles off the coast of South America My Grandma ownen a home there. The only thing that is stopping me from liveing there is winning the lotto

 

[NokiaDude]

Somewhere on the upper west coast where it rains almost every day. What's keeping me, I'm only 16 and still have to go to school, oh and my friends.

 

[The Dancing Peacock]

I'd like to go to Costa Rica. Most beautiful place I've ever seen. In one hour you can go from temperate plains to cloud forest and keep going to a hot tropical beach. People are great too.

Can't go there now b/c of restrictions on non-citizens holding jobs there, plus lack of opportunity and funds to make a living.
