That you would want to live in? Keep it U.S. based. And tell me what your criteria are? Me, I like a strong nightlife, very diverse culture, good weather (though that's subjective), great food,active downtown and generally a more liberal city. Obviously, some on my list don't have all three, but are strong enough in another criteria to compensate.


You can assume that you've won the lottery ,or even if you were middle-upper middle class. My list:

1. NYC- It's New York
2. San Francisco- Culture, great food
3. San Diego- weather, weather, weather
4. Chicago- It's like New York light
5. Austin- Would be higher if it was a little cooler in temp, and had a denser downtown.
6. Las Vegas - can do anything there, but it's hot.
7. Boston- Food, diversity.
8. LA- same as Boston, but way better weather
9. Seattle- Great food,
10. Miami- weather, culture, i've heard the people suck though.
 
Looks to me like you are just naming the nine biggest plus Austin.

How about:

Vail, Colorado
Santa Fe, New Mexico
Jackson Hole, Wyoming
Nashville, Tn
Charleston, SC
Padre Island, Tx
Palm Beach, Florida
Richmond Virginia
Las Vegas, Nevada
Savannah, Georgia


P.S. I can't imagine anyone who likes Austin picking Seattle over Portland. Portland and Austin are like sister cities.
 
This is hard for me because there are a lot of cities out there that I like a lot more than Texas cities but I don't ever want to raise a family or live the better part of me life anywhere but Texas. So taking the Texas factor out of it and only including cities I've visited I'd say:

Austin, TX
Savannah, GA
Vancouver, BC
San Diego, CA
Fort Worth, TX
Chicago, IL
Washington, DC
Atlanta, GA
Nashville, TN
Denver, CO
 
Not set in concrete, but:

Austin
Dallas
Chicago
Las Vegas
San Diego
Charlotte
San Francisco
Fort Worth
Los Angeles
Davis, CA
 
10 cities, but they have to be U.S.?

cant do it.

Besides Austin there really isnt another city in the U.S. that I would rather be.

Now if we are talking world cities, I have a lot of choices.

Amsterdam, besides the pot, its a freaking cool city.
Prague- holy **** did I have a blast there
London- like a crazy NYC without the annoying accent

Munich- any town that dedicates an entire month to drinking beer every day with 20,000 of your closest friends needs to be on this list.
Phuket, Thailand- glorious beaches and its a shitload cheaper than California

Been to the above 5 and would go again in a heartbeat.
The other 5 are going to depend on a few things (like is it really a cool place to live vs visit)
Dublin, Mombassa, Sydney, Wellington NZ, Zurich, Dubai, Zihuatanejo are all on my list- but if they arent good places, they can be dumped.
 
Boston
NYC
San Fran
San Diego
Denver
Austin
Portland
Seattle
Somewhere in Maine
Somwhere else in Colorado
 
I can't believe so many picked Vegas, nice place to visit but have any of you actually been off the strip...
anyway, assuming money is no object and the people are not an issue go to go with
laguna/newport/corona del mar CA.
San Diego, CA
Vail, CO
Boise, ID
Austin, TX
Chicago, IL
Newport, RI
Houston, TX
San Francisco, CA
Seattle, WA
 
Austin, Texas
Ft. Davis, Texas
Kerrville, Texas
Galveston, Texas
Corpus Christi, Texas
South Padre, Texas
Ft. Worth, Texas
McAllen, Texas
Concan, Texas
San Diego, California
 
Accuratehorn, is your list in order.
If it is, are you saying that you would rather live in Galveston or Corpus Christi than San Diego?
I have lived in both Galveston and Corpus Christi due to my work, and if money is not a consideration I can not imagine why to stay in either Galveston or Corpus. Both seem to be like poor substitutions for the real thing, like GO-Bots were to Transformers.
 
i love texas as much as the next texan but good gawd, some of you are in serious need to get on a plane and leave texas before you die. it might do you some good.
 
New York, NY
Austin, TX
Jersey City, NJ

1. Austin

2. Allentown PA. (surounding area) . Love the area where I grew up. The only place I would rather be is Texas. Access to the Poconos, Philly, NYC, App. trail, You name it.

3. San Antonio (diversity of culture-acces to hill country and Austin)

4. NYC (actually N. NJ no way would I live in NYC but access from N. NJ would be cool)

5. Seattle-beautiful country, cool city, not to mention my familly originates from here

6. Lancaster Pa. Access to Philly. Always been fascinated by the Amish. Nice area.


7. Asheville N.C.-beautiful area. Great place for a family to be raised.

8.Lakeland Fla. Middle of Florida acess to anything and everything. Hurricanes would probably suck, though.

9. San Diego- Almost as enticing as Austin. Big negative is that it is in Calif.

10. Detroit. (The suburbs) Love all Detroit pro sports teams. I've always threatened to retire to Detroit and get season tickets to the major 4 sports (Hockey is a major up North!) and do nothing but go to games. Only thing better is living in Austin and watching UT.
 
In no order:

Houston
Charleston, SC
Savannah, GA
New Orleans
Chattanooga, TN
Chicago
San Francisco
Seattle
Portland
Austin
 
How come more people aren't saying Lake Tahoe? I've always wanted to got there because it seems very beautiful. You'd think more people would pick it.

Is there something bad about it than I don't know about?
 
New Orleans would be way too hot for me, I would guess anyway. I'd like to visit Savannah or Raleigh-Durham, but I still place that deep south tag on those cities. That's why Atlanta wouldn't be under consideration.

It's not US (and it doesn't matter), but Vancouver seems nice (never been). I've heard mixedthings about Portland as well.
