Next year i start community college (16-18) and will be going to a city every day, which will be abit more 'exciting'.
I can't wait to move over to US to arizona or somewhere. Weather is soo nice there


I prefer the UK weather, cooler than the US. You must be in some crappy town, where I am the girls are very intelligent generally, and have fine teeth. I'd have to agree with the costs of things here though :/

i live in ilkley near leeds. Yea, t is a crappy town, nothing to do really. I am hoping to meet some intelligent girls when i go to college they'll have to be if i meet up with them in maths or physics classes. Where you at?

Born and raised in Chicago, went to university in Cleveland, and I'm damn happy to be back in Chicago.

I can see myself staying here, although I do like NYC a lot, I wouldn't want to live there with kids or even near there raising a family. I couldn't stand to have NY fans in my family hehe.

I figure while i'm young i'll live in the city, and when I get kids someday I'll move to the north shore burbs of Chicago.

I am growing up in southern Indiana. The weather isn't too bad, but the air in this area plagues some people (including me, at times), with sinus problems. Also, the lack of affordable broadband (the only option here would be to get a T1) doesn't make me happy.

Not sure where I'd move if I could, though.

I like to snowboard, but I hate winter. It makes me sad. I NEED SUN!

California, Arizona, or New Mexico would be my choices but they are so far away... It takes at least 1day to drive there. :-/ Pennsylvania sucks.


Whats with all the people out west that think everyone from PA is amish... I mean c'mon. I don't even look amish.

Stop making up stuff.. there's no such thing as Central Coast California

It's all about SoCal or NoCal.

I grew up in Sweden where it snows half of the year. Then I moved to SoCal and have been here ever since. I can't imagine living anywhere else.

I've lived in four seasons and it was great as a kid, snow in the winter and hot summers. Then I moved to tropical weather for teens and I really like it. I enjoy being able to go to the beach any time, not having to wear more than a t-shirt and shorts, and life in a small laid back town.

Born and raised in SoCal. Lived in Germany for a summer and winter; summer was great but winter sucked. Lived in two tropical countries; they were great except for the humidity and the bugs.

Back in SoCal for the last 30 years and it's perfect. I've been to a few places in Arizona I wouldn't mind retiring to.

Born in Queens, NY... moved to Long Island during 4th grade. So I guess I was raised on the Island. I love it here... great suburban towns. Rates must drop... rates to everything... must drop. No one will be able to afford to stay here if they keep going the way they're going.

Born in SoCal. Liverd there until I was 7 then moved to Norcal. Sorry SoCalers but NorCal rocks SoCal. I don't even like visiting SoCal anymore.

I wouldn't mind living in Southern Oregon.

Born and raised in Saigon (Vietnam) during the turmoil, then Bidong (refugee island/camp Malaysia), schooled in Vancouver (Canada) and now Victoria (Canada).

I have traveled to a few countries/cities, but have to consider Victoria is one of the best in the world, but I wouldn?t mind living in Chain Mai (Thailand), or Hue (Vietnam) for a while. The reason is that I want to live in Chain Mai/Hue is the people are extremely polite, friendly, peaceful, and the women are extremely beautiful.

I want to move back to where I grew up. I miss the rain, humidity, and gulf of Mexico. In Indiana it's cold, dry, and snowy.

I live in Northeast Cleveland (almost in the snowbelt for you ohioans) and i love it (16 yo) i like 4 seasons. Summer, and Winter are my favorite. I think i might try Colorado. B/c i love having a fair amount of land for my house, but i love snowboarding. And i need some sort of good ski resort near me. In ohio there is nothing good. I would love to live in mayber vermont or Colorado

Born and raised on Long Island. Love it there. Everything moves nice and fast. To bad the prices do too.

According to that other thread (about finding the worst place in the US), there's a more upscale place to live than parts of Long Island. It's Great Falls, VA. I DEFINITELY wouldn't mind crashing there... and get to see my Capitals play every game.

Born and raised for 7 years in England but I'd be shocked if I ever move back there. Spent the next 15 years in Eastern Canada and I don't think I'll ever live there again either.
