    Where do you think would be the best to live, for you personally of course.

    It could be somewhere you've been or somewhere you've only read/watched a show about.

    Or where do you want to end up? which could be different from the above...

    I always thought Monaco would be a good place, but its pretty much a police state.

    Id have to say the decolate areas of western canada.

    Vancouver has always been top 5 on my list of "places to be", but overall, I think I could flourish anywhere.

    It would be difficult to live in Quebec, but I would. I'd live almost anywhere in Ontario, save for the GTA. I'd love to try living in Halifax, Moncton, Montreal, Sudbury, Surrey, and any place in the USA as long as I could come home relatively easily.

    I've always had this itch to get out of London, but on the same token I'd love to share a cottage with my siblings when I'm older and let my hypothetical extended family hang out together like I was raised to do with mine.

    Portland, Oregon.

    I was watching this show on the travel channel today and this place popped into it which made me want to move to Oregon all the more called the Columbia River Gorge. The first highway in the USA was built there so people could drive by it and see it's natural beauty?

    i dont want to live in england right now because its just going down a slippery slope. i dont want to live in america for the same reasons as england. money just controls everything, greed, selfishness etc....


    i'd love to live in jamaica or ethiopia and just help people. trying to help people in england is too hard because the people your trying to help most often dont WANT to help themselves....

    i know where i will end up one day and that is by the almighty's right hand in zion.

    i was looking on craigslist yesterday at housing and jobs in vancouver and austin... was seriously thinking of relocating to austin. it's cheaper and looks like i could get a job paying about the same as here... and it's a lot closer to my family who i miss like crazy..

    i often dream of living by the ocean though.. grew up near the ocean, so i think living somewhere tropical would be wonderful...

    no idea... i just like their tie dye shirts that say "keep austin weird"

    i like the idea that it's kinda hippy/metropolitan but it's in texas which means outside of austin is going to be lots of land and very few people, which is very appealing to me right now... plus it's in the states so i can work. but that's just why i'm liking it, not sure about other people.

    The best place to live is where ever I can get a good homemade chicken pot pie.

    I have been there a bunch of times and I really enjoyed it. I just feel really comfortable there. I have a sister that lives in Portland,OR and everytime I visit her, I seem to end up in Seattle each time..................

    As cheesy as it sounds, the best place to live is anywhere my partner is...because location doesn't really matter as long as you are with the people you love.

    I love the ocean, though, so if I had to choose, I'd like to live somewhere on the coast. I live on an island off the coast of SoCal...it's desolate and amazing...if my partner were here, I'd never leave.

    the best place for me to live would be in a small shelter, cave or cabin, in a forest, in mountains, not too far from a small town or village to walk to it, but far enough to not have to be arround other people more of the time then i am comfortable with.

    this would be the best way for me to have my mind clear and sane and get enough sleep to be able to be really useful to anyone and the rest of humanity.
