Where's the best place to live in America?

[bagofeyes]

Where's the best place to live in the states? Somewhere with a good mix of greenery and urban convenience.

[CajoleJuice]

Not Detroit.

[Barry Egan]

Canada. 

[Madrun Badrun]

Canada is the best place to live in the States. 

Edit:  O god damn it! 

[bagofeyes]

Can American citizens live in Canada?

[Madrun Badrun]

Yes, you just can't come to the secret meetings. 

[TVC15]

Arvie, gay marry me so I can get citizenship.  I will let you top.

[bagofeyes]

Can a citizen of a fellow commonwealth nation attend these meetings?

[Madrun Badrun]

What kind of dowry do you come with Whiteman? 

Can a citizen of a fellow commonwealth nation attend these meetings?

Yes but the Commonwealth outsider secret meetings usally overlaps the Canadian citizen secret meetings, so you'll have to miss the last half hour.

[bagofeyes]

Screw your meeting! You guys don't even play cricket pfffff

[TVC15]

What kind of dowry do you come with Whiteman? 

What kind of dowry do you want?  Anything you want, you'll get it from me. Anything you want, you'll get it. . .but not for free.

[Madrun Badrun]

I want to be able to take as many young female lovers as I desire, we won't have sex, and only see eachother on occasions when out social outings overlap. It will be like a marriage right out of Doren Grey only modern.  We'll wear top hats and be all witty and gay. 

[bagofeyes]

You poo-jabbers ruined my thread

[TVC15]

I'll take it.  As long as you 1) Walk around naked 2) Take some sort of spelling or grammar lessons 3) Allow me to keep a gaggle of Tom of Finlandish models in our home.

[Madrun Badrun]

No deal.  I will never know proper grammar or spelling!  Besides my family already thinks I'm gay and I think marring a man would only add to that misconception. 

[TVC15]

No deal.  I will never know proper grammar or spelling!  Besides my family already thinks I'm gay and I think marring a man would only add to that misconception. 

Oh Arvie, I am a more powerful ally than your parents could ever dream of being.  I am too much of a meek man, but with my gifts of planning and understanding the nature of power, I can concoct a machiavellian scheme to make you the most powerful man in all of the western world.  I can, literally, give you anything worldly you desire.  Be my mouthpiece.

[Madrun Badrun]

I don't want my greatness to come from power.  Besides I'd be much more of a shadow man anyways.  If I were your puppet, I'd need my own puppet to dangle to the crowd; I'm afraid our stings would get tangled.   

[TVC15]

You may get the top, Arvie, but don't forget from where the power flows in this relationship; who pees the white pee.  From the phallus I possess shall flow all the remainder of history that shall be recorded, and I am offering you the opportunity to be the parrot perched on said Unit of Power.  Take it, Arvie, in your hand.

[Madrun Badrun]

O Canada

[brawndolicious]

I don't know if this is a serious thread or not.

bay area is really nice.  expensive as fuck though.

[Valcrist]

I agree.

Check out Foster City.

[xnikki118x]

Tooting my own state's horn here, but lots of places in PA are really great.

We have tons of green. You wouldn't think of it, but I've read that PA has the largest rural population of any state in the US, because central PA is farm country. Pretty much the whole eastern part of the state has you within 3 hours of NYC, Philly, and Atlantic City, NJ. The western part gives you Pittsburgh, Erie, and the metro areas in Ohio.

Lots of people have been retiring to the Poconos lately--I think it's second only to some part of Florida or something like that. The Poconos are beautiful as fuck, and you can take a train from there right into NYC in like less than an hour I think. Very cool.

[Mupepe]

Are you talking best as in price or beauty?

For price, the rural South can't be beat.  Houston has an incredible housing market for such a huge city.  There's just so much land.

San Francisco is by far the most beautiful city I've seen in America.  It's really an awesome area.  This is my number one choice if price wasn't an issue.

However, if you're looking for countryside scenery, then you can pretty much pick any state in the US.  The US does have some beautiful land in almost every state.  Just depends on what kind of weather / land you're looking for.  We've got it all!

[MrAngryFace]

Seattle was just today rated the safest Major City to live in right now.

The most dangerous? Take a guess.

[Bloodwake]

Not Kentucky, unless you want to laugh at ignorance.

[huckleberry]

Not Kentucky, unless you want to laugh at ignorance.

Kentucky is beautiful...as long as you don't look at the people.

[Eel O'Brian]

North Carolina is beautiful, and not as backwards-assed redneck as you'd think.

[Tauntaun]

No deal.  I will never know proper grammar or spelling!  Besides my family already thinks I'm gay and I think marring a man would only add to that misconception.

this could be a great movie or concept for the next C&C game

PA's cool, but so is upstate NY

[BlueTsunami]

If you want to be isolated, New Hampshire, Vermont or Maine

[Tauntaun]

If you want to be isolated, New Hampshire, Vermont or Maine

oh, yeah I think in Vermont you can carry a concealed handgun too!

[tiesto]

Not Detroit.

Seattle! Yeah!

i would move to seattle just to be close to distant.

The funny thing about the study finding Seattle to be safe is that I've seen two women get mugged near our house.

I ran over to help in both instances, while my wife was calling the police, actually.

One of the women was on the phone with her mom when these guys jumped out of the bushes and started kicking her in the head.

I wouldn't say that, all the gays mar it's true beauty.

In both instances, by the time I got to the person, the attackers drove off. What would happen is that we'd be inside watching TV and heard someone outside screaming, and then we'd go check it out. We live near I-5, and there are some dark spots were people hide underneath.

My dad came back impressed with NC after visiting the SAS institute there this summer.

Do you need a private agent? Somebody who just stands next to your house beating the bejeezus out of anybody stupid enough to try some shit? WILL BEAT UP HOOLIGANS FOR PEPSI AND MASS EFFECT

And that's in the most generic suburban hell of the entire area (Cary, NC).

Chapel Hill, NC is where it is at. Great education/schools, entertainment (nightlife, music, sports), cuisine (best in the Southeast US-yeah not saying much but it and next door Durham is the culinary cradle of the region) all integrated into a green, well-planned community.

It's hip, trendy, but not a large place (good because I hate people). Suits me fine until I can move out west.

Chapel Hill is extremely liberal, as is its neighbor Durham.

Synbois, that lady's from South Carolina, a state that only resembles North Carolina in very narrow areas (South Carolina is more like Georgia, North Carolina is more like Virgina).

I live on the edge of a very nice neighborhood, I just also happen to live near an I-5 overpass where homeless people live in their cars. These are pretty isolated events, they don't happen often at all. No home break-ins, no car break-ins, just some punk douchelums who thought it would be funny to terrorize some girls walking home from work.

Honestly, West Virginia reminds me more of someplace like South Dakota than anywhere else-extremely poor and with tons of natural resource related issues. It's a really weird state.

I know how you feel.  I live in the "safest" neighbourhood in Houston, but it's on the edge of one of the "worst" neighbourhoods in Houston.  However, instead of the shitty neighbourhood getting better, the good neighbourhood is just getting worse.

I have family that lives in WV and yeah, it really is a backward state.  The mentality of the people regarding their state is odd too.

Respect knuckles to you.

The West Coast.

[thekavorka]

Austin is the best place to live.

- lots of outdoorsy stuff to do (very friendly to bicycles)
- large university means lots of smart, liberal people
- urban environment with nightlife if you want that
- great weather year round (except maybe too humid in the summer)
- affordable living

[Phoenix Dark]

Detroit isn't that horrible - it's huge and has some great areas and some shitty areas. And if you go to the shitty areas, as long as you wear the right colors you'll be fine

My buddy drove down to the east side in a bright red car. NOT a good idea

[drew]

New York city.

seriously

The west coast is full of shitty orange women and dudes that do bowflex commercials.
