Best place in the world to live

I can speak for two of the states you've mentioned. If you head for Arizona...go to Tucson. Absolutely gorgeous city set in a bowl surrounded by mountains on all sides. All the conveniences of a big city, but still a very small-town feel and no other large cities around it. If you're outside of Tucson, you're out in the country and it's very nice. Unlike most big cities where they just sprawl right into one another. It's not as hot as Phoenix and much much prettier.

If you head for Texas, I would highly recommend San Antonio. It's more sprawly than Tucson is, but still not as bad as most big cities. Tons of stuff to see and do around here and only a couple hours away from some very nice beaches.

With hubby in the Air Force, I've lived in a lot of different cities. Tucson is at the top of my list of cities I'd want to live in. San Antonio is second on the list. :D

I definitely wouldn't suggest Florida...I lived there until I was 12 and I had enough of that! Hot, humid and the same scenery from North to South FL. Palm Meadow bushes and ferns are nice and all...for the first 30 miles ;)

I like New England (I live in MA), but I haven't really been West of Pennsylvania (except for Alaska--but we flew in), so I can't speak to those other places. My brother's in Colorado a couple hours from Denver and he loves it there!

I would try Arizona or one of the other Southwestern States.

I was born and raised in the 909, now i live in the 562 haha

I always thought that of Texans.. LOL! Stay where you are just more South LOL...

Austin born... Houston (and out parts) raised! I Love Texas! BUT... we do get crazy heat... not the hottest, but when coupled with the humidity... :rolleyes: I'd love to move back to Austin one day.. or maybe outer Dallas??? I REALLY wanna go to Australia and Colorado... My hub's fam is in Maine! WOW... that place is amazing too!!! AND they sell LOBSTER on the side of the ROAD! :O *I think I'm drooling*
Isn't Florida and Cali monster expensive!?!?!

Texas heat and humidity is a killer but good to keep snakes in. I loved Illinois but I'm a farm boy so its a good place. I love my town, some of the people are real snobs but other wise its good. Best highschool football is in Texas! Best colleges too. But illinois has the best NFL team though... LOL.

yeah cali is expensive, but worth it, no snow, but you can get to it if you want.


just put it this way. i can snowbaord, ski, surf, and lay on the beach in the same day. then drive to vegas for the night (only like 5 hour drive)

I have a feeling this website may be a little slanted, but I thought it was great when we were looking to get up and go.

For me it's a toss up. Both are places I've lived.

Whitehorse, Yukon - if you can get past the deep dark cold months, it's simply an amazing place. Scenery that blows your mind - soaking in a outdoor hotsprings in the depths of a Yukon winter while gazing at snowcaps....it's hard to describe that. People that are some of the warmest and friendliest I've ever met and oddly enough the best Greek restaurant I've ever eaten at. An odd juxtaposition....the world's best moussaka and dolmathes in a restaurant next door to a bar so rough they had the tables bolted to the floor and the chairs chained to the tables. That's the Yukon for ya! LOL

Gore Bay, Manitoulin Island - a jewel of an island, small and intimate with a resident deer population greater than the human folk (other than during tourist season LOL) but close enough to Sudbury, Ontario to get away once in awhile. Fishing like you would not believe - Rainbow and Lake trout, huge Chinook Salmon, Splake, just to name a few. Everyone knew everyone and my older kids pretty much ran free there. My soul loved that simple, beautiful place.
