If you could live anywhere

NYC sucks! There is no place like SoCal as just a great place to live. Not all parts of socal. I wouldnt live in "Mandiego".

Orange county, irvine, etc. that would be my scene.

If anything is more exciting and beautiful than NYC in spring/early summer than sign me up.

Quote from SiSePuede!:

I have to ask what makes Seattle beat Vancouver B.C. in your opinion? Just curious as I think Vancouver is one of the best cities in the Western Hemisphere and Seattle seems like a city with suburbs...no doubt there are nice and pretty things to do there...but Vancouver has so so so much beauty and nature and it's all really accessible by bike. Not to mention being so close to Whistler and Jasper ain't exactly a bad thing.

And for the record I spent about a year living in Portland, OR which I find to be a sort of mini-Vancouver and I'd say that's one of the best cities in N. America as it's a rather stress-free, healthy, friendly, happening place to live.

I like both Portland and Seattle.

What's wrong with Vancouver, BC. ?

INCOME TAXES
SALES TAXES
DRUG ADDICTS AND PROSTITUTES GALORE
CANADIAN HEALTHCARE
LOUSY DRIVERS (IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN)
DRIVING SCHOOLS RUN BY LOUSY DRIVERS (IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN)

You mean BroCal? New York City is good for multi-cultural purposes and people are more tolerant...in LA and surrounding there is too much room so everyone separates and few groups like each other.

I'm from there...it's looking like Florida(Miami/Ft. Lauderdale) area more and more with shitty overpriced new homes, strip malls galore, etc.

Why LA? Honestly? The beaches aren't good, the women suck, the water is called in the ocean, it's mostly concrete, etc. There are much much much better alternatives to Southern California.

I know what you mean, but that is different from the entire western seaboard how????? And it's not as if you won't find junkies and hookers in the ghetto in any city.

Much more of that in Vancouver, BC as it is a main entry point for the North American market. Couple that with an extremely liberal government and you have a drug fest free for all. Not a good environment to raise a family unless you move out to the 'burbs.

You also left out 3 important items from my post:

INSANELY HIGH INCOME TAXES
INSANELY HIGH SALES TAXES
SUB PAR CANADIAN HEALTHCARE

I speak Spanish enough and Portugese is easy enough to pickup and learn. Spanish is a fairly easy language to use enough to get by on...currently thinking about Spain/Portugal move next year.

How about taxes in Spain, won't your performance be taxed as capital gain or as income?
