That's a hard one. But I've always been fascinated by NYC so I had to go with New York. Who hasn't at least been intrigued by the idea of living in Manhattan?

I loved that movie when I was a kid.

(And I couldn't agree more. Smiley)

Nope, too crowded.

A Victorian near North Beach sounds far more appealing

NYC is my favorite city.  It would be fun to give San Francisco a try, but NYC is just the best place to live as far as I'm concerned.

My mom has always told me that tornadoes are far more terrifying than earthquakes because of the advance notice. Earthquakes may be an issue on the West Coast, but it also doesn't have to deal with hurricanes or their remnants. There may be Loma Prieta on the West Coast, but there's Hurricane Sandy on the East Coast.

sure but I think we all know that when "the terrorists" finally get a nuke they're going to use it on downtown Manhattan.

Do you mean the Jamestown/Elmira "Southern Tier" region or Staten Island?

I'll have to go with New York, because I've never been to California, but it seems like a great place. After having been through a rather hellish winter the idea of year-round warm temperatures punctured by an annual massive wildfire is starting to become appealing.

I lived for several years in California.  In fact, I was living in California when I first started posting here.  I had an apartment in Manhattan for a brief period while I was working there.  Probably I had a stereotypical experience:  small, overpriced flat on the 16th floor of a crumbly old building.  Great view of Museum Mile.  Walked to work.  Cycled down fifth avenue in rain.  Took the subway to see David Letterman.  It was fun, and I don't regret it, but I'd definitely rather live in California than in New York.
