Where's the best place to live in America?

Not Kentucky, unless you want to laugh at ignorance.

My grandfather was from kentucky

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.

Is that where Bam Margera is? That area looked nice on his stupid show

New York city.

seriously

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

What is so great about New York City for dorky introverts like us?  It's full of people, everything's overpriced, it's tense and competitive.  Unless you're sitting on some green, New York is not the best.  And I've lived their till I was 18.

I don't wanna live in any more huge, ugly cities

I think you'd love albany, california.  It's a 1 square mile city right next to berkeley and housing is pretty cheap.  it's next to SF too if you want to be touristy a little and there's a shitload of good restaraunts within walking distance in the whole city.  I was raised there though so maybe I'm too biased but I loved it.
