Ultimate place to live...

I thought you were making a Dalamon joke the first time you mentioned that place. That does look cool. Though the most offensive thing to me in the entire world are beaches that don't have surf so I think I would go mad if I lived there.

True. It's much different. VERY laid back. It's a fishing, diving, perfect weather year round, mecca of lazy.

I'd like to live San Sebastian, Spain, if I wasn't already living in Antalya. I enjoy the city except July and August, which the city becomes literally hell for residents. 95-122 degrees F with 90% humidity, but in winter it's around 50-71

My uncle lives in Victoria. Lovely place. Close proximity to everything (hiking, surfing, Vancouver, Seattle) nice year-round weather, a good college, and hipster girls everywhere (good or bad depending on your taste).



Downside is high taxes, and generally a more expensive place to live, and a harder place to get a job

My uncle owns a house on some lake in victoria that he just uses a vacation home.
From the pics of it I have seen, its beautiful

I have never been to San Fransisco, but why all the love? Isn't everything crazy expensive, and isn't the crime through the roof? What am I missing?

OK... maybe not.

Of all the American cities I've been to (DC, Seattle, LA, Baltimore-- admittedly not too many) San Francisco was by far the one that my family along with myself enjoyed the most. Awesome city.

A fat *** house on the beach in Del Mar, CA

Del Mar is the worst corner of the most over-rated city in the world. The people are suspicious, the food sucks, etc.

SF is fun to visit, but I'd wager you'd feel different about living there. In fact, I think any place currently wrapped up in the frenzy of tech-boom-town mentality is annoying as ****. I have a lot of very good friends there, and even the most unlikely of them have disappeared into their phones and dream of oil. I mean, apps. Bleh.

London has the same problem as New York City - it's a finance capital. So a bunch of overpriced Finance jobs make everything else expensive. When you take out the finance jobs in New York City, the average salary is ~ 60k. So basically the equivalent of 35-40k in Utah. And that's including all the doctors and lawyers and stuff. You could easily live in London as long as whatever you are going into has jobs there.

And if not London, the rest of Britian's large cities aren't that expensive. Their economy sucks.

This thread is assuming money, jobs, kids are not an issue I think.

This.

A good friend of mine owns about 400,000 acres of beautiful land in Patagonia (both Argentina and Chile). I haven't been yet, but plan to go soon.
