Probably I will move to the Budapest if live in Vienna. If not stay and feel threatened by FPO:

[DavidB.]

I'd be okay with living in Warsaw. It's a very nice city: green, modernizing and with friendly people. If I'd find an interesting, well-paying job there, I'd definitely move. Lodz, however, doesn't seem to be a very attractive place to me (sorry).

[Cranberry]

I'd love to live in Amsterdam, or just about anywhere in the Netherlands (well, maybe excluding the Bible Belt and some small Frisian Islands)

[DC Al Fine]

Vienna, love me some Mozart.

[Torie]

It might be OK. I wonder if Halifax is colder than Hudson. If so, my partner would be most unhappy. He's whimpering this morning, because we had our first snow last night. The word Samoa is coming up again, as in we need to go there for a couple of months. Maybe folks who have genes largely drawn from Teutonic tribes are more resistant to cold or something, just like they tend not to be lactose intolerant.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

There's lots of areas in NY that are good.   Torie's HUDSON HUDSON HUDSON area is nice, as is Hyde Park.  Western NY, particularly Chautauqua County is pretty nice, up from Westfield to Fredonia and even up to some of Dunkirk's suburbs.  I haven't been to the Finger Lakes but I'd love to visit.

So, avoiding NYC and LI......yeah, not so bad.

[angus]

You now live in the above posters state...  How do you feel?

Indeed I do, and I feel full at the moment.  A bit gassy as well.  Had three chicken tacos for lunch.  I'll walk to the club after I take a big dump and ride the stationary bicycles and enjoy a swim.

Later, I'll feel a bit squiffy.  Probably after 3 or 4 pm.

[Bojack Horseman]

I don't think I'd mind being in Pennsylvania, just not sure about Lancaster.

[Free Bird]

Depends on where I am. UP seems very nice

LI is just horrific. Flat, loaded with traffic, ugly, and suck city totally. The LI accent is also butt ugly. NYC is great if you are a rich. Otherwise, it's horrible. Partner Dan makes some noises about NYC from time to time (like having a crash pad there at least). I tell him that that is an extravagance. I even resist staying the night there, absent some special arrangement. We need to catch the 10:45 pm train out - period.

The Finger Lakes are magnificent, and some of the towns on those lakes, while very bourgeoisie, some looking like Main Street in Disneyland, are just as cute as a button, and have lots of cultural events in the warmer months. But man, the snow dude. Snow, snow and more snow - except this year due to El Nino.

You have visited the Shining City on Hill, overlooking the river in the most magnificent river valley on this earth, Grumps?

Of course Angus feels stuffed! He lives in what is perhaps the most obese county in the nation. Fats here, fats there, fats, fats, everywhere.

Skip me, unless you find opining about the greatest state in the nation to be irresistible.

Yeppers.  My daughter went to the Culinary Institute in Hyde Park, so we'd often drive and see what was around.  She was familiar with the area, we just took in all of it.  Needless to say I never went there in winter....hell it was a long 8 hours to Hyde Park in good weather.   But yeah, it's all good up there.

We spend nearly 6 months of weekending it in Western NY on the Lake and I've become fond of those areas....very similar to western PA.

You check out Chautauqua?  Dan and I spent a week there during the summer events season. Lots of left wing Christian theology - with an emphasis on saving the planet from humans, and some fascinating lectures, and a fantastic performance of the Opera Macbeth in English, directed by a friend of ours, so we got to meet the cast afterwards, where the lead male singer proposed to his boy friend as a surprise, getting on his knees to beg. Good stuff!

It's the Finger Lakes area that is deluged with snow, due to the Great Lakes effect. Buffalo too. What a miserable place that is. It's mostly a western and northern NY thing, with the Tug plateau adjacent to Rome, NY getting more snow in the US than any place that is east of the Rockies.

Indeed we have checked out Chautauqua.  We'll occasionally grab lunch right near the lake.  Relax.  The area is pretty awesome for sure.

Maine is good.

PA--Pottsville or some quaint old town within reasonable driving range, like Jim Thorpe or Womelsdorf, to my job as official beer taster at the Yeungling Brewery.

NY--Some small Erie canal town East of Utica  and within range of Cooperstown/ Lake Glimmerglass (Otsego).  Again, I would be official beer taster at Saranac Brewery. 

ME--Some rocky coast town with a brewery that makes a beer that pairs well with lobster.  May require some research.

Since it's not obvious, I live in the state of New Orleans.

[Bigby]

"Huh, since when was New Orleans a state? Did Louisiana want to get rid of it that badly?!"

[Torie]

I suspect New Orleans wanted to get rid of Louisiana.

[NeverAgain]

Northern NY is nice, I like the countryside. Not a huge fan of the cold winters though.

[Goldwater]

Virginia is fine with me.

[FEMA Camp Administrator]

Aside from the liberalism, seems like a great place! Intent on visiting the PNW at some point!

[andrew_c]

Michigan seems to be a nice place to live, as long as you're nowhere near the ghettos in Detroit.

[Goldwater]

I suppose Vancouver would be somewhat tolerable.

Uh, hate to go BRTD here, but there are some decently nice areas only a few miles north of 8 Mile. Bloomfield Hills is just south of Pontiac! As well, actually in Detroit, the area is developing. Now, you can have concerns about gentrification, but that's not the topic here. I don't enjoy being the optimist, but it appears, at the very least, that Detroit is on a relative uptick, and I wouldn't mind living in the area a few years after graduation.
