Where to live in the states?
    #19139548 - 11/15/13 02:23 AM (10 years, 3 months ago)

So once I get out of college, I'm gonna start looking for a job and since I'm potentially going to be an engineer, I don't think it will be too difficult. Where would you guys suggest living in the states based off your own travels? I'm looking for some place where the people are primarily friendly and accepting, some nice scenery(good for tripping), not completely in the middle of nowhere. I've been meaning to check out Silicon Valley but I haven't gotten the time to head there yet.

Almost every major city is pretty cosmo
Hell, even Houston in Texas isn't exactly filled with conservatives
(or is it Dallas?)

I personally would live mostly anywhere along the coasts, minus florida.

The only time you run into hicks or villagers are smallish towns.
Even one of my very good friends,
whom I consider somewhat smart
but definitely a villager
once asked ''What the hell is in NYC''
we lived four hours away.

I suggest somewhere other than california unless you like the idea of high taxes, high rent, and a backwards fucking legislature

I suggest Oregon or Washington,both beautiful states super green and has progressive thinking. However If I were to choose a place to live I would probably pick a suburb outside of San Fran, It's a dope city I felt very at home, very welcomed and even more calm and peaceful.

There's so much history and culture there, plus it seems like all the pros I know in "the game" have made the best cheapest connections through meeting people in SF. Also I love the weather in NorCal, it's my favorite type of weather. The bad part about the city is EVERYTHING is so fuckin expensive and it's a huge tourist location. Good part of a suburb is you can go to SF or Yosemite or even go camping in the Sequoias'. If you get bored of that take a trip to Oregon or something.

The last thing i'd like to mention is there's some damn good whitewater rafting in Cali and Oregon, if it's considered a sport it my favorite sport, the rush is unimaginable for me. Although after I almost drowned in a lvl 5 rapid I'm very hesitant to do it again. No matter how much training you've had or experience in rafting there's NO WAY of controlling whether or not you will fall or get tucked under the water.  Even the owner of the company said he didn't think I was going to make it.

Best wishes OP, wherever you end up I hope you find happiness and prosperity  :peace:

Dallas is the one you're thinking of.
By some polls, Dallas is considered Democratic in majority.

OP,
I would suggest seriously considering the economy of the state that you're interested living in.
In some states it is considerably harder to get a job.
Also the cost of living in proportion to the earnings you'll be making is something else to think about.

I'd recommend Texas, for the economy and cost of living; but being a Texan, I think that would give me a bias.
Drug laws here are somewhat harsh; but criminal process favors the criminals in comparison to most other states.
I don't really know how big the job market for engineers in Texas is, but it's probably not any smaller than other states.


Once I make enough investments to have a sustainable trickling income, I plan to move to New Mexico for the beautiful scenery, pristine wilderness, and lack of tourism (compared to Colorado).

Don't come to Dallas. Dallas is fucking terrible, I should know, I live there.

In fact, just stay out of Texas altogether.

It appears ime the people who like Texas the most are the people who move there.

I'd be scared shitless to live in texas, you can get 15 years for a small bag of pot from what I hear. I always have super dank dro on me for medical reasons so I would have a HIGH probability of getting caught. Which sucks cause I'd really like to visit some of the southern states but it's not worth the risk.

Live in a major city, and live in the city proper.  You're young and will probably have a decent job so now is the time to do it.  You may decide city living isn't for you or you might love it.  Regardless I think everyone should live in a high rise in the city at least once in their life.

I'd like to know this too. I'm thinking of returning to the states one day and settling down. I like places where drugs are easy to get and good quality, there's lots of available nature, not too crowded, maybe near some mountains, good weather. From my research it seems that California would fit the bill, despite the high prices. Seems that lots of people outside of california have something against it, but I think it would suit me perfectly. Might also be worthwhile for you to look into OP?

Place doesn't matter. People is everything! You gotta love the culture around you. My place isn't the nicest place but my friends are here so im gonna stick around. Plus canada really isn't that bad. The older I get the more I love my own city. It's nice!

That's definitely a thought. Not sure if I could handle the winters though - I tend to get depressed if I go for long periods without sunshine
