the four corners of the USA - where would you prefer to live?

[Rumpel]

I now have added three more options, so that there is more choice


the four corners of the USA - where would you prefer to live?

 

[aociswundumho]

I've lived in CA, FL, and NYC, but I always miss New England. So I'd pick Maine from that list.

 

[The flaming lib]

None of the above. Midwest, somewhere surrounded with fresh water.

 

[americanwoman]

Maine in the summer/fall and Hawaii in the winter/spring.

 

[Rumpel]

3 out of 4 now say:

Hawaii​

 

[Checkerboard Strangler]

3 out of 4 now say:

Hawaii​

Three out of four say that but so far I don't see ANY members who actually DO live there.
Part of that is because living IN Hawaii is, for most, even more expensive than California.

It also has some serious limitations as well.
Visiting the 50th State is nothing like living there.

If there's a member here who currently does live in Hawaii or who grew up there or lived there for a
decent period of time, please speak up.

Far as I know we do have one member who lives in Alaska, another remote state.


For the record I voted CALIFORNIA, which is where I've lived for the past ten years THIS time, and I also lived here
from 1982 to 1998 before.

 

[roguenuke]

Out of the choices there, Washington state. It is gorgeous and really good weather patterns I prefer (prefer Puget Sound area).

I like where I live though, as well as places like VA, TN, and Montana. I even like Northern WY, but my husband wants somewhere with waterway access to larger bodies of water, particularly an ocean (he has been looking at large boats lately).

 

[Rumpel]

Alaska and Washinton D.C. have zero votes so far.
But 5 out of 9 say: California.

What does that tell us?

 

[ASHES]

If I moved back to the states, I wouldn't go anywhere besides Northwest Washington.

 

[rickc]

The rockies in the summer and north Florida in the winter.

I am in Butte Montana now for the summer

Yeah, I've spent a lot of time in HI over the last 25 or so years, I love it, but couldn't live there, too expensive.

Right - I heard that it's far more expensive to live in Hawaii than even Beverly Hills. Like double.

 

[Superfly]

I chose Maine. I love the woods, and living in a remote area with no neighbors. I'd stay in the woodsy, non-touristy part of Maine.

 

[Indlib]

I now have added three more options, so that there is more choice


the four corners of the USA - where would you prefer to live?

Partial to Washington as I grew up there.

 

[bomberfox]

I kinda like having a snow season every year so i do like living in northern areas. Problem with Ohio is its rarely ever just right.

 

[Luce]

Nobody lives in Maine.

 

[Geoist]

Washington is my first choice. Mild weather year round. Dont mind rain. Lots of forest trails.

 

[Rumpel]

Nobody lives in Maine.

Is it a Mr Nobody or a Mrs Nobody who lives there?

 

[Noodlegawd]

I now have added three more options, so that there is more choice

Now? California.

When I'm retired? Florida in the Winter, Maine in the Summer.

Although not an option in the poll, in my early retirement I hope to spend most of the year in So. Cal., and winters in Utah so I can ski a lot.

 

[Grand Mal]

If I had to live in the USA, coastal Alaska first, Washington State second. Somewhere where I can walk to salt water.

 

[Rumpel]

California is now leading with 6 votes out of 16.
Btw: Califonia is the only of all the US states that has a special name in German: Kalifornien

 

[Rumpel]

Nobody lives in Maine.

And nobody voted for Alaska yet.

 

[Bucky]

Washington is my first choice. Mild weather year round. Dont mind rain. Lots of forest trails.

Very glooming and depressing during the winter and fall.

Most of the people in Seattle are liberal elitists. Many of the policies here make zero sense.

You sound depressing.

Don't care about the sunshine?

 

[Indlib]

...except if you live on the east side.

Weather isn't mild, it doesn't rain, and forests are sparse.

Lots of tumbleweeds though.
