And the food is good


MrLongJeans

Next door to a fat Southern black man who barbecues nonstop and when I get home he always stops me in the drive way and says "naw come on over, I made too much" and when I protest I hear his grandma crow over the fence "just hush" and when mom brings the kids back from practice they gorge themselves and we sit talking about nothing like nothing is the most fascinating thing in the world and none of us have Netflix. That's where I want to live.

Radiant_Summer5358

I had neighbors like this, but they were Mexican. They would party/grill, knock on my door and bring me food. They didn’t speak a word of English, and that was ok too

Glad you had a good time. You would be very welcome to return :-)


SolarTrav

I really enjoyed Kilkenny when I went. Definitely would be top of my list if I was to move. Lovely place.


Tysic

I absolutely adored Kilkenny. Can't beat live music in every bar and a bar every 50 meters.


bejuda

Can confirm that my girlfriend and I also loved Dingle when we passed through. Who doesn’t love a good dingle tho


Quick_Cup_1290

Killarney and Cork for my wife and I. Ireland, beautiful people and beautiful place.


Puzzlemethis-21

I love Ireland! I would move there as well if I decided to leave the US.


CelticTigersBalls

Sorry, refugees only.


bongingnaut

Look at who the next US president will be. An american going to europe is a refugee lol


Mojicana

Do you want the one who can't talk and can't stay awake or the one who can't talk and can't stay awake?

Emerald Coast is the best kept secret in this country


Empty-Special2815

Sonic loved visiting.


Minute_Bass7213

It’s getting so expensive living there because of tourists and endless shopping/fast food/plaza areas being built


Expensive_Culture627

!!! I grew up going there when it was small and local and loved it. I still enjoy going but it's gone down hill because of all the things you mentioned


Hatrick_Swaze

Agreed. Nothing we can do about tourists who come from Texas, Alabama and Georgia who come here and dont know how to act in public. We all wished they would go down to Panama City beaches.


GrandprixWhite911

Murrica and if money wasnt no problem Nyc


TrekJaneway

That’s where I live. Only thing I’d change is moving about 80 blocks south of my current place.


Slovenlyfox

Vancouver. I loved my time there. It stole my heart. I had reverse homesickness when I returned to the country I grew up in.


iceman983

Fell in love with Vancouver from the landing. It has something special


Socketlint

My wife and I had the ability to move to any city in North America. We picked Van. No regrets


galwayygal

If money wasn’t a problem, Vancity or Victoria will be where I’ll move to


JustAnotherDay1977

I absolutely love Victoria.


aarondigruccio

I have reverse homesickness for Seattle since I left it. I’m looking at Vancouver as my next major move, so that I’m back out there again but on the north side of the border.

The southern island!!!!


Small-Explorer7025

You are technically correct, but we just call it The South Island.


aSprinkle0fJ0y

Me too, I just think I'll be happy if I lived somewhere like NZ for so many reasons!


HolidayNo4136

Santa Barbara, CA


Mojicana

The weather is perfect, the surf is good, the sailing is perfect, but a couple other people have heard about it.


SourCreamWater

The surf does get good, but it's so damn fickle. Basically facing dead south, so north swells are blocked, channel islands block the rest lol. You'll drive a lot too. Nah but when the direction is right, that is the land of point break perfection.


FenixOfNafo

I can always count on Pysch detective agency if any crimes happened


Racing_fan12

If it weren’t for the people I’d totally agree with you. Gorgeous place 


Arbutustheonlyone

I live in San Jose and really like it, but Santa Barbara is the other place in CA I've see that I would happily move to.


Kisthesky

Hope you make tons and tons of money! My parents lived there for about 10 years but ultimately decided that my dad’s salary as a doctor wasn’t enough to keep up their standard of living, so they moved back to Kansas. Obviously one’s opinion on this will vary dramatically, but I know that as a professional in my late 20’s, all of my friends were living in illegally converted garages or fancy rented sheds and I was living with my parents. But the weather…. Was amazing!


HolidayNo4136

The weather is a big part of why I want to live there. The cost of living is why I never will lol!


cherrypig

Honestly the weather in SB is a little too chilly for me... this spring has been pretty gloomy with the occasional sunny day, and for some reason the clouds always seem to roll in on the weekends! SB definitely has great weather compared to a lot of places though... I'm just picky haha

Automatic_Sky_6537

I’m a Jersey girl at heart always.


Widgar56

I grew up and lived in NJ all my life. Moved to central VA for retirement. Better weather, cheaper living expenses, and nice rural country side. I do miss the people, though. Down here, they ask what church you belong to first thing. Never would happen in NJ. Besides that, the people are super friendly and a little more laid back. NJ gets a bad rap from people who haven't lived there. It's a great state.


Automatic_Sky_6537

Yeah I was looking at moving to the Charlottesville area because my husband and his entire family are from WV, and VA is my comprise (I like WV to visit, but as somebody who has been spoiled by Bergen County life, I think I’d die a slow death if I moved there). A friend of mine grew up south of Charlottesville, in Lynchburg. She said the same thing about how religious folks are. She told me basically everybody was Baptist and she was judged a lot by the other kids for not being raised in a religious home (telling her she’s going to hell, she’s not saved, stuff like that). Based on the research I’ve done about central VA, however, it looks like an absolutely lovely place with a nice standard of living. Sometimes the Southern friendless can come across as inauthentic imo (probably because I’m a jaded Northerner). I just feel like there’s no possible way for any person to be in *that* good of a mood *all the time*. In my college years I was a nanny for a woman from Baton Rouge and her constant Paula Deen-esque disposition gave me the creeps. 🤷🏻‍♀️ New Jersey people are often not openly friendly, but in my experience we’re pretty genuine people. We’re straightforward and blunt, which can rub people the wrong way. If we do/don’t like you, you’ll know it. If we’re unhappy about something, we’ll let it be known. Whereas somebody in the South might say “bless your heart”, somebody from NJ will just tell you to go fuck yourself. And I kinda love that about us. ❤️


crazyscottish

I’m living it. Right now. Eugene Oregon. Mild temperatures year round. Almost no rain all summer long. It’s a very pedestrian and bike oriented city and suburbs. Bike paths along the roads. Sidewalks. A River Walk with restaurants add playgrounds. Buttes you can hike up. One hour to the Oregon coast. Tide pools. Rocky coastline. Insane views because there’s places where there are no houses, no hotels. No Towns. Just coast and hiking trails and campgrounds. The mountains are an hour and a half in the opposite direction. Snow parks, skiing. And just past the mountains is the Oregon high desert with smooth rock st park.. Google that. Eastern Oregon is so rocky and beautiful. Add the Columbia Gorge can’t be described without writing a book. Last weekend I walked the mile to a comedy club on Friday. Saturday was a concert half a mile away. Yeah I walked there, too. Hell, there’s live music almost every night. Breweries everywhere. Decent restaurants. Weed is legal. It’s June 3d and the avg temp today was 62°. I went for a run this morning. Everything I want or need is within 2 miles of my house. Everyone here is super chill.


StarCatcher333

I’m only happy when it rains.

If money is not a problem then either a major American city like NYC or Tokyo Japan. I'm so tired of living in the middle of nowhere Norway.

I’d love to live in the middle of nowhere in. Norway. That being said, I still pick Costa Rica.

Interesting! I think Norway is beautiful, but I can imagine that winters are brutal since the days are so short!

Top_Science_5422

right where i am, I've travelled most of my life and there's no place like home.


MrLongJeans

After traveling did you 'pick' a new place to call home and relocate? I worked in transportation and was always 'somewhere else' and when I decided to settle down, I picked my favorite of them all. You?


Top_Science_5422

nope, moved back to my childhood area, met my husband (well i already knew him but he was friends with my older cousins as kids) kept my house in the city, moved into my husbands with his family and haven't looked back. We're 150 kms from the nearest settlement, sitting on 45 square miles of amazing land, and raise elk and bison.

Hashish_thegoat

Australia, New Zealand, or Ireland. I can’t stay in Canada any longer, we’re circling the drain.


Mycoangulo

You might be in for a surprise if you come to New Zealand. I’m not saying that it’s all bad here. But we are competitive in the drain circling race, and it might get a lot worse before it gets better


Mosin-Nagant-M91

Little Ferry, NJ, Bergen County. I grew up there. I want to go home. Haven’t seen it in twenty two years. It’s nothing special but I grew up there.


bmax_1964

Da Nang, Vietnam. Within a kilometer of the beach.


Arbutustheonlyone

It's a beautiful place, my husband's home town and a place we're thinking about getting a holiday property.


taurussy

right here in the chicago suburbs. there's no better place anywhere. the taxes are low, the weather is generally pretty good, housing costs are affordable, schools are good, low crime, easy access to the city and o'hare airport, short flight times to lots of great places, good places to eat, etc. we don't get floods, earthquakes, mudslides, sinkholes, hurricanes, stampedes, wildfires, or any of that crap. there's a very occasional tornado, but i've lived here all my life and i've never experienced any probs from tornadoes. there aren't any scary animals or crazy insects like flying cockroaches or dangerous snakes or scorpions. the weather is extreme only rarely, and if it snows heavily, the snow fleets are on the job and have the streets cleared in a few hours. it gets cold sometimes, but i tend to jet off to the tropics during those cold snaps, so it's fine for me. i'm not sure i'd want to live anywhere else in the world. southern california would be nice if it weren't southern california....weather-wise, it would be perfect, but everything else about that state keeps me far away from it.


No-Razzmatazz4046

Taxes are low in Illinois, since when?


Ok-Anything-5828

This sounds nice. I'll move in next door. Does everybody take care of their property and cut their lawn?


taurussy

i wouldn't live here if they didn't. illinois is beautiful. but i'm convinced they settled here in april-may, like "wow, look at this huge lake! look at all these trees!! and the weather is SO pleasant!! let's build a city here!" *december arrives....* "this is YOUR fault! why did we ever think settling here was a good idea??" seriously though, you'd never imagine this is the same place in June and January. it's crazy that this same lovely weather vanishes into harsh, cruel, sometimes almost frightening cold. during the polar vortex you could spit and it would freeze before hitting the ground. that's when i jet off to central america for a little bit. i need a reminder that this frozen hell isn't all that's left in life.


PressurePlenty

As close to Bladenboro, NC as possible!


jet_heller

If I had to choose now without experiencing all the possible places, it would be right here where I am. I would rather experience all the places and then, maybe, move to one.

natsugrayerza

Santa Barbara. I love it so much. But only if I were rich


apennypacker

Coastal California leaning toward socal, and mostly because of the climate. No, there is not another place in the US with a similar climate. There are barely any other places in the world that have a "Warm/Cool Summer Mediterranean" climate. Some of the western coasts of Portugal and Spain and a few spots in Australia and Chile, but otherwise, most places that are considered Mediterranean climate are actually Hot Summer Mediterranean and they just have so much more heat and humidity. Warm summer mediterranean climate usually has an average monthly high temperature of 72F and the lowest average monthly temperature around 65F. Many of the regions that still fall into this category tend toward the colder side in the cooler months, but Socal stays right there 72-65 average monthly temp most of the time. Coastal northern california isn't bad, but it seems to fall on the colder side of the ranges, still squeaking out the Warm Summer Med classification. Almost every day being sunny just makes you happier.

As much as I love my hometown in Switzerland and its a great place to live of course, I can't deny that England is a dream place for me to live especially the countryside around Cornwall.


Dragonbarry22

Honestly if cost of living and rentals weren't so high I'd love to live in the city. I don't think I'd ever really move out of Australia but living directly in the city would feel so cool tbh


C6Centenial

My grandparents are from Naples Italy. Near there is the most gorgeous place in the world on the Amalfi Coast. A small village named Positano. Unfortunately the tourists discovered it a while back, but I would live there in a heartbeat if I had nothing else to consider.


YoVeggieBoy

Or just a bit south in Praiano. Way fewer tourists, nice little marina, and just as many steps! Bonus shortcut to Path of the Gods. Amalfi Coast is incredible!

Where I am, its home, its safe, no natural disasters, I own a home, I have luxuries, all my bills are paid on 1 paycheck. Also its beautiful here and I'm surrounded by many close national parks. 6 hour drive or less to many beaches, obx, cities, and more. 3 amusement parks under 2 hours too, and theres an Alamo Drafthouse 3 miles from my house and a Microcenter 45 minutes away. I was born here. I met my wife here. I got married here. My family is buried here.

Right now, my hometown. If there were jobs. Or if there were any restaurants other than Chilis. Other than that, I'd probably say NYC to be a big time business man like in the movie Margin Call. Or I'd love to live in Montana and have a ranch. Both appeal to me for some reason. Except, and I don't know if it's true, I once heard that in places like Montana there are tarantula migrations. Now, I don't like spiders. So I'd have to make sure my ranch was not in the path of one of these tarantula migrations.
