It's hard to reply to a thread like this without turning it into Backroom material (explaining why a state is your favorite), so I'll just say which one is my favorite and leave it at that.

Anyone but Texas.
If I was to live anywhere in the US, it'd be in the northeast. Mainly because I hate hot weather.

So can Britain, in extreme cases.
I don't mind the odd day, I just stay inside as much as possible on really hot days. It's when I'm on holiday, and we have to go out sightseeing, and you have to amble around, melting in the sun while the rest of the family is looking in shop windows etc.

Sorry Strike, it's gotta be Vermont.

Besides the fact that you're going to be a sweetie and delete that comment...
I like Texans. I know one bourbon drinking, steak eating Texan who is as fine and generous a gentleman as I've ever met. :bow:
Definately not texas. I personally like it here in Michigan, the UP and Northern area is beautiful.

The man makes a good case.
All the same, though, if I was to move the US I'd probably live in the North-East/New England sort of area. It seems very attractive, and the climate would be at least lightly familiar.

i demand a GAH!!! choice.
anyway vermont and maine are pretty but usually frigid. i like new jersey all except for the crappy managment and cities, i live in rural jersey where its all hills forest lakes and once in a while devils or two. hell i even have a 1 acre lake in my backyard, its pretty nice, good fishin too but now i'm just bragging so i think i'm goin to shut up.~D
I wanna live in Pennsylvania.
Why exactly? Reason I ask is because I just moved from there. It's northing special. ~:handball:

I like North Carolina, Virginia, charleston SC, and California as places to live. When it comes to beauty, I would go with California, Washington, Montana, and Maine. Everything (bad) is big in Texas~;p The times I've been there, I just remember too much heat (altho this last summer in Charleston was absolutely unbearable, 113-117 heat indexes cuz of humidity, and real temps around 107).
Texans are numerous and armed tho.
:hide:
Vermont apparently would look most familiar to me, and I'd get my maple junk foods. Vermont it is.

Mostly I mean the rural parts - very beautiful country. There are a few patches like that in NJ, but not many.
Plus, I want to go to Gettysburg every year!

Southern Vermont all the way, not the northeast part of the state which is rednecks as far as the eye can see, and relatively close to Albany and Boston compared to the rest of the state.

Well if u like that kind of area then its fine, just not much to do. It is beautiful though, near central.

I like PA around Mechanicsville, and right across the boarder from Western Maryland and West Virginia. Very nice area, but eastern PA sucks. It's boring, too many people of a certain political persuasion, smells bad, and is, in general, trashy. The city of Philadelphia is cool but once you get out of the urban area's it's deliverance minus the nice scenery. I'm going to learn Duling banjo's and sit along the major road in the area (Street Road) and play it.

Mechanicsville reminds me of Virginia. I ate at a restaurant south of there, I forget the town name, and all the waitresses had southern accents. I was like "I'm in heaven." And the one hit on me, it was great. :bow:

Anywhere but San Diego. It's awful here: boring clear skies, every day about 22 degrees C (72 degrees F)--yawn--, a very wet ocean, beaches that never get cleaned of sand, mountains that would have a nice view except they're covered with trees, a zoo so famous it's full of freeloading animals from all over the world that don't pay taxes (stupid immigrants), and Sea World where you can't go swimming in the pools because Willy and Flipper have hogged them all.
The only good thing about San Diego is that the traffic is so heavy, everyone sits on freeways which means the shopping malls are less crowded.
So, if you're contemplating moving to a nice place, forget San Diego and you won't regret it.

Texas is ok, I have relatives there and in Oklahoma and New Mexico too and think that the SW US would be a good area to live but it is too hot for me. I’ll stick with West Michigan, all 4 seasons and no chance of a natural disaster. ~:)

Western Australia. Perth city sits on top of 15km of beach sediment... the beaches are long silky white sand. The India Ocean is beautiful to look at and swim in.
Fishing at sunset with the sunset taking an hour to lose its majestic curtain of fiery colours, with the water around your knees and drinking Schnaps. Perfect. ~:cheers:
Texas is tiny in size in comparison btw. ~D

I'm still a California boy. New Jersey is growing on me though. Nevada thoroughly sucked in my experience. I did meet the woman I should have married in Vegas though. Arizona (Phoenix) is appealing--I like hot (dry, not humid) weather, and I have a friend there, who is best buddy with an extraordinary kenjutsu sensei who also lives there. They really know how to ROCK in AZ too. Maybe I'll try that next.
Yeah, I left my Heart in California ... [daydreams of Lake Tahoe and Desolation Wilderness; Sea Ranch, St. Orres Inn, and the Mendocino coast; San Diego's Gas Lamp district at night; the beaches of La Jolla and the fine retaurants nearby with their stunning ocean views; San Francisco bay, Marin County and Mount Tamalpais; Mount Shasta, Mount Lassen, and the Trinity Alps; the redwoods of Humboldt county and it's, um, primo agriculture; the foothills of the Sierra Nevada and all the little gold mining towns; and of course--good ol' Sacramento, where I grew up, and which I know better than any other city on Earth ... [sighs] ...].

You certainly have covered the state. I have been to all those locations myself, except Sea Ranch, St. Orres Inn, and Humboldt. I almost moved to the foothills of the Sierra Nevada.
By the way, my drumming group plays in San Diego's Gaslamp Quarter once a month. It was a surprise to read it mentioned in this forum.

I'm so sick of the MidWest that I want to puke.
SFTS makes a good argument for Texas (because I'm a sucker for women in cowboy hats) but sadly 1. my girlfriend would not agree that pretty ladies in cowboy hats are a good reason to relocate and 2. I'm currently only allowed to be in the MidWest (curse you visas).

Whoa. My city! o_0 ~:joker:
The housing is very expensive though, and it's bleedin' dry for a student from a tropical country. Gah.
I'm thinking I might move to the Great Lakes or NE region for a change once I'm done with high school. The expensive-but-prestigious universities there are among the greatest in the world. :) And I heard the weather is good.
I wanna live in Pennsylvania.I live up near the Poconos- its a real beautiful area.
I've been down to Philly a few times and, personally, I think it's a hole. ~;)
