I heard El Paso is real nice, right along the Juarez border there..........

That brings back a lot of memories: '86, the best year of my life. Made a lot of money back then, just me and my camioneta, driving back and forth between good old Sinaloa and Arizona. Must have travelled like a million miles. El Chapo is one tough guy you don't want to mess with, last time I saw him was in '88.

I moved from London to Dallas in 2003 and will never move back. I love it here in Texas because of the open space, the weather, the women are smoking hot and it is a great standard of living.

If you want to leave what you have in London, avoid NYC, its the same just less polite.

If you can afford it, Saulsalito (Marin County) CA is pretty close to perfection. From there you are close to all the benefits of a city (San Francisco) without any of the city headaches. Once you cross the Golden Gate bridge from San Francisco, you are in Marin County. Beautiful homes, sweeping views, close to Napa and Sonoma wine country. Mild weather year round. I'd live there!

Great jobs in San Francisco and Silicon Valley (health care, finance, technology, education, etc.)

Washington DC or the Suburbs of Washington DC!

You get the city experience but still having lots of open space and not having it all be narrow and tight like NYC!

Hell to the no.. you must be insane. I am trying to get AWAY from the ghetto and plus I actually like my guns.

I'm American and I live near Baltimore.

Every day the area I live seems to get worse. Traffic gets worse, crime is rampant, urbanization is cancerous, politicians dessimate an otherwise pristine environment and it seems like there are more and more trashy, nasty people polluting an area that wasn't nearly as bad ten years ago.

In a few years I'll be making enough to move wherever I would like in the US. With the idea of getting married, starting a family, and making a successfull career in mind I find myself increasingly frustrated with this place. I've travelled a lot and a lot of areas around my country seem to be falling victim to the same plight as here while other places seem to maintain their beauty and remain a pleasant, civil community.

Where do you live and how do you feel about it? When you think of places you've been where exactly appeals to you and why? I need options people and since a drastic population reduction doesn't seem to be in the cards for Baltimore suburbs I'd love to hear one of you bastards brag about how awesome it is to live somewhere other than here so I can dream.

Is this true or are you finding that in the 10 years you are paying more attention of what is going on around you?

Yes, this area is very live and let live; if your life is dominated by religion, racism, sexism, and other filters then, no, you would not be happy here... because you would quickly realize that you are the one who doesn't fit in. If you pride yourself on being "conservative" then that is a legitimate reason not to live here because you would likely be unhappy. Then again, the last person here who claimed he wanted to leave the Bay Area because he was a “conservative” with “morals” also bragged (in another thread) that he was a deadbeat who racked up debt with creditors and had no intention of paying his debts. http://www.getbig.com/boards/index.php?topic=193870.msg4453019#msg4453019

Perhaps you and Methyl Mike would get along…? Just don’t loan him any money.

btw, compared to peer cities and counties, SF and Marin are also relatively crime free.
