If you could live in any of the 50 U.S. states

[JBH3]

I was born and raised in the state of Virginia and I love it and wouldn't want to live anywhere else.

If I had to live somewhere else, maybe the San Francisco or Monterey, CA area of Cali. Visited there in 2011 and loved it. The Pacific Northwest is a part of the country that really interests me.

I've lived in Rochester, NY my entire life (besides college in Syracuse).

When I graduate, I'm hoping to eventually end up somewhere around Chicago or Boston, but we'll see.

I had that dream one time. Then I looked up the average cost of rent lol.

Seattle won't be much better.

Forget all of y'all for not wanting to come to Texas.

Texas has its own power grid, so that's enticing

I don't think I could ever leave Pennsylvania, but if I ever did my first choice would be Florida. Most likely around the Orlando area.

Hey I like it here. Better than Alaska, Louisiana and California

My state would be Texas of course

Not here.

Somewhere where it doesn't snow. That's all I want. I don't care what state that ends up being.

Yeah i'd be interested in seeing what Orlando is like to live in as oddly i've only ever been for amusement parks.

I live in a small farm town in mid-Ohio...can't say I really wanna live anywhere else.

Perfect blend of weather, we get our few months of cold, snowy winter, then a few months of hot summer, then the rest are in between. Plus almost all of my family lives around here within a half hour drive. Who knows where I'll end up living in the future, but one thing is for sure I want to be in a place with a good mix of weathers seasons like Ohio has. Because I like certain aspects of winter and summer both. I wouldn't like Alaska where it is almost always cold, or Florida where it is almost always warm, I like a mix.

Wisconsin, West Virginia, and Michigan would probably be my next three choices of places to live.

I'm not a fan of living in Florida. It's not terrible overall I guess, but I hate the humidity that doesn't relent. I'm just ready to leave.

NC, LA, Colorado, Oregon, Washington are a few of the states that intrigue me the most, but I really just want to get out of this particular area and state.

Definitely not California and definitely never ever any of the "Southern" states. Texas would be the only one I consider, and I don't really call that a "Southern" state.

We've been debating back and forth about where we want to move in the upcoming few years (once she gets a year or two more on the job for experience, so she can get hired wherever.)

Wisconsin (my home) is an obvious choice (plus it has snow, which is a bonus.) The others so far in the running are Colorado, Washington, Oregon, Minnesota and Michigan. I'd love to live in DC again, but only if I could be right back in the city proper like I was before.

The idea of Vegas has been mulled over quite a bit, but I'm not sure if I can get past the weather issues I have with it. Otherwise it would hands down be Vegas (but outside of the strip and Fremont.) I have a few friends that have lived there for plenty of years, and I've stayed with them for a couple months and it was relaxed. Not too expensive, like 20-25 minutes into the city. They were in bowling leagues, baseball/softball leagues, the golf is better than most other places (with the variety that you can choose from.)

**** I might be convincing myself right now, better stop.

I used to think Hawaii but have a good friend who was born and raised there, and he couldn't wait to get out. He said it's great for tourists but to actually live there is another matter entirely. I also have another buddy who loved to visit the island, but he was ready to leave a few months after the Navy stationed him there.

I think Montana would be pretty awesome. I prefer country living with a lot of outdoor activity... I don't think I could ever leave Washington, though... It is a great state. Seattle is a phenomenal city, but I could personally never live there. Too cloudy/rainy and too much traffic. I love the eastern side of the state. Plus, Seattle is ridiculously expensive.

Oregon's fun, but I'd love to live back home in SW VA.

I don't see that happening, so I'd probably like to live in Seattle, NYC, Boston, or possibly San Jose.

Re: If you could live in any of the 50 U.S. states

Tennessee or Virginia without question.

Ive lived all over the world and never been happier than when I was in those 2 states.

Nashville, Tn would be my first choice due to having a nice metro area, located almost central to the southeastern region, and only a few hours away from pretty much anywhere in the South you wanted to go.

Great people, great enviroment, Smokey mountains, rafting, good schools...etc.
