What's your favorite city?

Here's a third vote for Barcelona, though I'd like it even more if I spoke Spanish. Or Catalan, or whatever it is they speak.

I do like Chicago, but it's the only city I really, really know. NY, Boston and SF are cool to visit, but I'd never want to live there. I love Washington DC too. And Vancouver BC is a great place, mountains, oceans, beaches etc - it's like a smaller Chicago with mountains. Though I was only there once about 25 years ago, but I'd love to go back.

This. There's lots of cities that I have enjoyed visiting but living there? Yikes! I'm just not into living the rat race on a day to day basis. When you have to get up, go to work, afford housing and food & fight traffic on a daily basis many of the cities listed become very unattractive.

Personally, I'd rather pull up and go live away from everyone else. I guess if I could choose any place I'd pick a tropical island away from the tourist spots. Snorkel, lay on the beach and drink cold beer all day. Yeah, I'm feeling it.
 
Hong Kong, great food for cheap everywhere. You can get by pretty well speaking English there as it was a British colony until 1999.
 
I love DC, I always enjoy my time in that area. NY has to be on the top of the list, although I would never want to live there for an extended period of time. Maui was amazing and I could for sure live there, paradise. I'm going to London in the summer, I'll let you know how that turns out, should be pretty rad.
 
Osaka, Japan.

I always tell people to go to Mumbai on vacation though. It's just so ****ing nuts there that it's almost impossible that you won't have a good time. It's not my favorite city because I wouldn't live there if given a billion dollars, but man it's one hell of an experience.

Then again, I'm with the people above that don't really crave the big city experience that much. Subway riding....long queues for any decent shop....bumper to bumper people traffic.....very controlled police environments......not my idea of living....but I love to visit new cities.

Can't go wrong with Hong Kong, especially considering Macau and Shenzhen might as well just be considered part of it. Probably the most urban experience you can have.
 
My favorite places are Bellevue, WA, Seattle, San Jose, Dubai, Boise, Raleigh, San Fran, Carmel, Hong Kong, Rio, Santiago, Chile, Zurich, Melbourne, Paris, Athens, and Dublin.
