best place to live?

I heard the middle of nebraska is pretty nice.

 

Anywhere in the PNW that's away from the big cities.

 

I'd vote hawaii, but since you said you don't have money, scratch that off the list.

There will be something negative anywhere you go, and it may be different for different people. My criteria is as long as I don't have to dig my way out of snow during winter, the place is good. So if you are even considering wyoming, nebraska, canada, etc where there are tons of snow, I will suggest don't. I would only consider living in such a place if I was born and raised in such a place. But even so, I've talked to many people who said they were born and raised in those heavy snow places and said they do not want to live there (and guess where they moved to? California).

There is a reason why lots of people move into and live in California. And of course the survival of the fittest will weed out and make those who does not fit leave.

 

NH (Disclaimer-Not if you're a motorcyclist because winters are too long!)

(Small) mountains with lots of great trails
No poisonous or man-eating creatures, critters, animals
No tornadoes or severe hurricanes
4 seasons of off-roading
tons of fishing and hunting
no gun regulations OR registrations!

No worries about water issues be it too much or too little.
No raging forest fires
No mud slides
low crime rate
Close to Boston which is an awesome city! The only city in the U.S. that if you bomb it, will shut-the-f*ck-down and hunt your ass!
Ocean is close by.
..............................................
and best reason of all? The only damned state with DIE in it's motto... Live Free or Die!

 

Oregon or Washington! We have the mountains, beach, desert and tons of water!

 

Arizona!

We have deserts, mountains and everything else. 60 degrees in phx in the winter and you can go skiing just 2 hours away in Flag. We're close to Vegas and Cali too so weekend and vacation trips are easy

The downfall is our heat...its not for the faint of heart!

 

I was going to represent but when I seen Detroit made it to number 7!! I have to believe it isn't real

 

LOL!!!!!


Yeah maybe 20 years or more ago

 

lies in red I personally had a brown bear encounter

 

I say would Idaho

Great places to visit, Offroading, skiing and Low population.

That is where i am headed to soon.

 

you forgot Cookout and Bojangles.

 

There are NO brown bears in NH... lol! Only black bears. And yes, they can kill a person, but it's typically a mother bear when you get between her and a cub.

 

Texas, because Texas!!

 

Grew up in Sacramento (sucks IMO). Taxes, housing cost, people, and a lot of commuting to the San Francisco area for construction work.
Lived in northern WY for a year. Great area, but the winters are too long.
Now living near Charlotte, NC. Love it here, but too many people. It's too hard to completely get away. If I ever move again, I'll most likely be in the Reno, NV area.
All areas have pro's and con's.

 

North Pole

 

Nothern Cali

 

South Coast BC

 

i will be far enough when Seattle goes under marshal law.

 

that thing was brown when i looked at it, so I guessed

 

Where I grew up in central Maine was on a game preserve. We had black bears in our back yard apple tree often. We knew not to get between mother and cubs, but we did go chase them off often because we didn't feel comfortable getting into the pool with them so close. Black bears are generally very scared of humans and will run almost every time.

I worry more about moose. They don't respond to humans and will stand their ground. They have been known to charge and can trample a person quickly. This and their freakin' eyes do not reflect light so you don't know one is in the road until you've hit them in the dead of night!
