Pretty much have to say the places I've most wanted to live after visiting are Portland and Seattle.
I'd love to have a cool little place in the quiet part of the French Quarter in New Orleans, just cause it's a magic place..
Would also have somewhere in Manhattan, cause it's filthy, crazy and wonderful, but Im not sure I could stay put there for long..
Once you get the hang of it, the midwest is great - huge cheap houses, friendly, no-nonsense people that leave you alone, cheap gas, miles from anywhere with vast amounts of stupidity.

I would say San Diego,,,But if you want to buy , you are pretty much looking at $550K and up.
- ouch. I have a well-kept, historic 3 br house that cost a fraction of that.gramme
- and generally you are looking at around 1,100 sq ft. and up. It's nuts.********
- yeah...1400 sq. ft. for $150k in South STL. Move-in ready. Nice neighborhood.gramme
- STL is cheap. Used to live in Kirkwood. City is sketchy sometimes though.amongthemasses
- South city is safe. We're in Soha, a lot of cops live around here.gramme
- nice, it was like that in Atlanta too. If you bought here before the bubble you hit the jackpot********
- i have friends who bought for 250k, now those houses are 1.3 mill********
- wow.gramme
- yeah Kirkwood was a goldmine as well. STL used to be hell but some of my friends still there say it is making a comeback.amongthemasses

I'll be another voice for Portland, OR. I don't know if it's the best, but it's the best for me for awhile.

- industrial shit hole of WI tied with GB********
- actually, no, Mil town is worse, cause the Pack aren't based there********
- ah! where in the hell where you? the third ward is comparable to neighborhoods in NYC and Chicago...but much cheaper.katekelly
- and the packers? ick. no wonder you didn't enjoy your stay here- you've got no taste.katekelly
- save it hunny, born and raised in Mad-town, Summerfest, Brewers, and shitty beer is about all Mil town has to offer********

I actually quite like Denver. Slow pace - beautiful weather and outdoor life.
But if I had to pick anywhere in the US it would be San Fran - that city by the bay has it all. If only it wasn't so goddam expensive!

- I hear a lot of good things about SF, except that it is expensive :(Jaline
- SF is past it's prime. On pace to be the next LA.arthur
