If you can manage to get a creative job in Florida (Orlando, Tampa), it is a nice place to live, cheap rent, nicest house mortgages, no state tax, light traffic, nice night entertainment, tourist attractions, as a matter of fact I don't think the creative side of Florida has been exploited, design wise everything even design services are on the budget side with not too much quality except for a few design agencies.

Not to mention the lowest temperature is 36 degrees on winter.

Jox, where in Sweden? I've been living in Malmö for a few months now. I can almost speak swedish, though I sound like an idiot when I do.
Sweden is nice, but not too exciting. I'd go with the Seattle or Vancouver options. Whatever you do, avoid the the hell that is the midwest.

You should move out to Arizona. The valley is one of the fastest growing areas in the country. The weather is great, living is pretty cheap, and you would be close to the fun of Vegas, Cali, and Mexico.

I thought Seattle was one of the most expensive cities in the country

Malmo-- reminds me of those Kurt Wallander mysteries I'm addicted to

I agree that NYC living expenses are out of control. That's why I moved to the Bronx. There are still nice places to live in the boroughs, although Brooklyn and parts of Queens are seeing huge rent increases.

Eli - I'm in Stockholm. So how do you like the Malmo accent? :P
paulrand, wow - i'm addicted to those too, didn't know they were translated into foreignish.

Jox, the skanska accent varies, sometimes it sounds kinda cool, sometimes it's a little too close to mumbling, sometimes it's completely unintelligable, mostly it's ok though.

DC-Metro ain't bad. Pittsburgh is boring but there are a lot of jobs here now for tech guys, as they do a lot of work for people in the Midwest, etc. Chicago is big like NYC but fun and exciting.

North Carolina is nice: Raleigh-Durham, Charlotte area.
