Where do you want to live and why?

Unread post by **Sastora** » 05 Aug 2009, 04:35

I want to know where your dream living place is or if you want to stay where you are and why?

I want to live in Louisville Colorado, it looks lovely and its not to far from where my family is. Or Grand Junction Colorado would be ideal, I'd like to buy back the house that my Grandma used to live in and rebuild on the lot or just referbish the house. It was wonderful there with a mini mountain in the back along with a canal and the view of the city at night was wonderful 'cause you were up higher than the rest of the valley.

In British Columbia Canada, they have a pretty good summer and an AMAZING Winter. Snowboarding there is ridiculously good.

Chicago.

I was born there and I love the city.

I'm happy here in Sydney for now. Although I did live in Ireland for 6 years which was quite the fun, and New York was good for a visit.

somewhere on the beach of lake michigan. preferably somewhere thats NOT a tourist trap and has very few people. nothing is more amazing than an entire beach to urself.

i have been visiting lake michigan almost evey year of my life and i still cant get over how awesome and beautiful it is. the sand is soft and almost everywhere (even ur bed sheets sometimes, but u can deal with it if ur not a pussy), the water is fresh, clear, moderately warm, shark/jellyfish free, and overall just pleasant.

im a born and raised michigan boy and at this point in my life i cant imagine living anywhere else. sure i would love to travel and go places beyond anything i could even deem fathomable, but my heart and home is here... as well as mah football team GO BLUE!!

Tough question. So many awesome places.

I love Colorado, the great outdoors is not an exageration. But I'm a little tired of the winters. Haven't been snowboarding for a few years, the ski towns are all just too expensive anymore and if you're not outside playing in the snow it kindof sucks (cold, shovelling...)
Grand Junction has mild winters so it's a pretty good place to be for other outdoor activities. High elevation desert basically.
College town, low wages.

Other places I've lived that I'd love to move back to...

Flagstaff Arizona. It's high up on a plateua/forest so not gnarly hot like alot of Arizona. Has a nearby ski resort and big volcano mountains very close to town. The desert (Sedona) is only about 1/2 hour away so it's got a great mix of terrain and things to do year round.
But, like many of these places, College town, lots of students needing work, not enough jobs= low wages.

Ashland Oregon. At the base of some sweet mountains. Awesome counter culture and mountain biking. Mild winter, nice nearby ski resort. Ocean is about 1 hour away (cold surfing is possible)
But again, plagued by the college town workforce.

Haliewa Hawaii.
What can I say, it's Hawaii, North Shore. 80 degree water all year. great surf. Some good but TOUGH mountian biking, the hills are super steep. The climate is perfect.
But pay is horrible, rent is way too high.

Places to NOT live. Anahiem California (aka Orange County, Los Angeles). I don't really need to exlain that festering armpit scrubville do I?

I can understand about the winters, my brother might stay down here in Florida and get my grandparents house somehow. Or thats what we say and then I told him that we can switch houses in the winter times. I'll have my own awesome winter home and he can 'enjoy' the snow times in Colorado. Although I'd probably stay up there for the first few years until I get tired of the freezing cold.

Also in Grand junction there aren't many doctors, I think like 1 or so for the entire town. My grandparents that live up there haven't been to the doctors in years.

And who wouldn't want to live in Hawaii, I'd love to too. I think about it every times I watch 50 first dates. Its beautiful and seems like it would be a laid back living area, ya know? Ha, I should retire there. (Once I'm rich...)

I also like a town in New York where my Great Aunt lives and I wouldn't mind living there either. I think its Long Island or something like that. Not to sure and its wonderful. Everything in their area is close together and you can even walk to this nice little Italian Ice shop. I always wanted to live in the city for a year just to see what its like, ALTHOUGH I'm always going to want to end up in Colorado.

I'm not much of a city person myself. But if you were in the right spot like your Great Aunt it might be cool for awhile. (But I bet you haven't seen the movies 'Joe's Apartment')
Just because as you said you can do alot. Places like LA are so spread out you have to drive for an hour to get anywhere/do anything. And that's usually only 5 miles away.

But you're misinformed about doctors in Grand Junction. I don't know the population but it's gotta be at least 100,000. They are actually just finishing up a really large hospital addition. It's about 10-12 stories tall (now the tallest building in the area and on top of a hill). I think they have at least 2 doctors

Yeah 50 first dates was filmed on the North Shore (Haliewa)

Now that I think about it, I'd probably pick a nice suburb of Chicago. The city proper is nice, but I don't think I'd like to live there as an adult. Just thirty minutes outside town would be nice.

Also Washington. I wouldn't mind living there, its nice and my 'aunt and uncle' lives there and I love them and miss them a lot. So I know I'd be taken care of if I lived there. Plus its where my mom grew up at so I'd have that little connection.

1st choice:
I would want to live in a Suburb outside of Kansas City, Kansas. Its pleasent and the roads arent as crowded as they are in Dallas.
2nd choice:
Umm i think someplace in Colorado would be nice, i like how the winters are and the summer are the complete oppiste.
3rd Choice:
Last resort if i cant get a house faraway from Tx. I would proabaly move to another nice suburb outside Dallas, sigh, no fun in this choice.

I want to live in the woods somewhere with WiFi and a fast internet connection. Something with a cabin kind of feel near a lake.

Unread post by **Liquid Death** » 13 Aug 2009, 05:26

1st: Japan; It is an "interesting" place, and quite a few people there also speak English

2nd: Luna (The moon); It is impossible to "live" there, but NASA is currently doing research so that there can eventually be an outpost where people can live for around 200 days. Although it would be close to living in Hell, I would be able to say I lived on the moon.

3: A yellow submarine; Do I need to explain?

That's the hard part. If you are deep enough in the woods, no one has run cable Internet out that far. You either have to pay for a dedicated line (which would be nice but expensive) or use satellite Internet which is expensive and shitty.

Somewhere around Boston. Not actually IN the city, however. Preferably a suburb, where everything is quiet, but not too far from the city itself.
