If you had the chance to move from the UK and live and raise a family anywhere in the US, where would you choose?
- oregonhans_glib
- but not portlandhans_glib
- i'm not from the UKmilfhunter
- DenmarkPhanLo
- Detroit_niko
- but seriously Boulder Colorado_niko
- Boulder seems nice. Seen a lot of recommendations as best place to live in the US.microkorg
- The Greatest City in America: Baltimore.palimpsest
- ha ha PhanLo :)Nutter
- New York. New York.robthelad
- God damn Boulder looks expensive to buy in! It's worse than the town I live in the UK and thats saying something.HAYZ1LLLA
- What are you after? The US is a huge place. You want city? A specific kind of nature? Price range?robotinc
- San-Diego is getting very expensive but the life here is sweet.dyspl
- santa monicaneverscared
- I wouldn't recommend California anymore, not unless you're insanely wealthy.monospaced
- No idea. Want somewhere where life is easy with kids. So not having to travel far for school firstly. Wouldnt be city centre living. Would want a bit of space.microkorg
- Somewhere within less than 100 km from the border with Canada so that you don't have far to go when the shit hits the fan.Continuity
- you don't want to live in any US city within 100km of the Canadian border, trust me. You'd rather die.monospaced
- If you're not living downtown (and sometimes even then) you would need to drive then to school or have them take the yellow bus.palimpsest
- The only times I've been sable to walk to school have been even I lived downtown. 15 minutes and 1 minute (right across the street).palimpsest
- Hmm, good point, most of the cities that border Canada can be a bit of a horror show but maybe a town in Vermont, close to Montreal_niko
- Or a nice northern state like Minnesota or Washington, Idaho_niko
- Colorado for me, getting sick of the beachYakuZoku
- West side of the Denver, CO area is pretty ideal. I live 10 min south of Boulder and housing gets a "little" cheaper once you look outside the citybrandonp
- last month when I was in LA was a big wake up call for me on how fucked up CA is now, ill never be moving back there, what a shit holeYakuZoku
- If you like the outdoors then the city I live (Flagstaff, AZ) in is amazing with kids. Its a blue county in a purple state. All four seasons. Summers are mild.mathinc
- Snow in the winter. You can get from one side of town to the other in 15 min. Good selection of schools.mathinc
- Housing has gotten pretty expensive here. And unless you're an engineer finding high paying work locally is difficult. Having a remote job is key.mathinc
- not even if you gave me a free mansion with 50 cars...necromation
- ???mathinc
- Florida obviouslyPhanLo
- Interested in this one. We've lived in Austin, TX for nearly 20 years. Love it, but it's not the city we moved to back in the day. Politics & the summers are ..jbasnight
- brutal, but the people, restaurants and music are great. Would love to live in Colorado or Oregonjbasnight
- If you want a European vibe, beautiful culture, beautiful people, lively arts restaurants, music etc then Montreal is the best city in North America for me._niko
- Mexico, NY, for the LOLs...
Nah, seriously Vermont if you like cold maybe, or Hawaii because fuck it.maikel - Detroit is rad. I live 0:45 from it in Canada and it’s great. Windsor is cool as well.ideaist
- Vancouver sucks. Don't come here.pango
- Thanks for the suggestions. Thanks niko, do like the sound of the European vibe of Montreal. Wife has family in Toronto.microkorg
- Detroit is americas ashtray.monospaced
- @monospaced is QBNs ashtray.ideaist
- Bellingham WAe-wo
- ^ lol vancouver people go there to buy milk.pango
- Key Westsandpipe
- I actually can live and raise my family anywhere in the US, and we chose Brooklyn.nb
- Nothing beats NYC. You can find better weather and easier living elsewhere. But you can’t find better art or better career opportunities. Depends on your field.nb
