Also, which State would you least like to live in?
I have only visited four States.
New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts and California.
From my limited experience, CA would be my choice,
with CT bottom of the list.

With you there Stress, I'm a west coast person,
even in this country.
BTW, did you know, Maine is the only State with
one syllable in its name?

It really depends on what your needs are and what point you are at in your life. If you are a younger person with career ambitions, then you probably want to live in the state/city where the demand for your skills is the highest. This is tempered with weather (some areas have snow and harsh weather 5-6 months out of the year) and states that have milder weather and lower crime will tend to be MUCH more expensive to live. California is an example of this.

I often wonder where I will decide to live when I ultimately retire and return to the U.S. I don't want a cookie-cutter environment, feeling like I'm running through Fred Flintstone's living room as I pass the same sofa, chair, table, lamp, sofa, chair, table, lamp, etc. (meaning that when I go back to the States and rent a car and drive for hours, I pass Wal-Marts and shopping malls and fast food joints and Radio Shacks, etc...over and over again, each city looking like one I just passed through before). I want as much of a European feel as possible...a neighborhood with a bakery, a cafe, a bar, a small grocery store, a vegetable and fruit market, etc....all accessible by foot. I don't want to get into my car to go buy a loaf of bread!
But, I'll have to be able to afford it, too.
Anybody know of such a place?

Man...I miss that golden sun. If it's 85 degrees, it still feels good to be outside and jogging or biking. The Cali sun is like a massage.
Never knew that about Maine...I don't know much about Maine...lol

If I could live in any state I chose, it would be either Arizona or New Mexico. I love the heat, the sun, and the desert, despite growing up near the ocean in the seacoast region of NH.

Not all of Cali is warm. Im from there. The southern area is. If you are thinking of 85F+ days, then that would be the southern part of the sate, San Diego etc...
Mark Twain once said, "The coldest winter I ever spent was the summer I spent in San Francisco." The reason for this is it is located right on the Pacific Ocean and you get that cold air off the sea. It will never snow however due to the salinity in the atmosphere but it feels as if its cold enough to and it is.

And you want to pay 850/900 thousand for a 900 square foot shack in a terrible neighborhood..

Yes, Frisco is a bit chilly in the summer at times but not all the time...but it warms up in September and October. I like the mild climate. The sunny days in Frisco with the weather in the low 70's is perfect for me. And the City is easily the most beautiful city in the world...and I've been around a bit.
I also grew up in San Jose...much warmer there and it feels awesome to be outside when the temps are in the 80's...I actually like San Jose's climate better than Frisco's.
SoCal is nice all year around, but too many douches down there.

San Antonio, TX? My parents used to go there often, and that's what they said they liked about it. I don't know how affordable it is, though...you could check.

Yeah, it’s the upwelling in the Pacific Ocean that causes that. I heard a lecture on it at the Monterey Bay Aquarium. Yes it’s cold in SF right on the bay but its nothing like living in an area that snows. Mainly what bothers people is the wind chill from the ocean. You often times see silly tourists walking around SF in shorts because they assume the entire state is 90F the entire year. It just isn’t so. SF is nice but it’s just too expensive to live. For me to buy the same amount of land in Cali (47 acres) would have been a few mil. I couldn’t do that.

Thanks, Dru. I'll do some checking, for sure. I wish I could afford to just live in Europe (don't get me wrong...I still love my country, but I do so love the European lifestyle). But, alas, I don't think that will be possible. And the day will come when I'll have grandchildren (I assume) and will want to at least be in the same country, if not the same city.

which would it be?

I have only visited four States.
New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts and California.
From my limited experience, CA would be my choice,
with CT bottom of the list.
