Where do you want to live?
    #7720671 - 12/05/07 05:14 PM (16 years, 1 month ago)

And I don't mean some pie-in-the-sky unrealistic stuff like "my own island in the Caribbean" or something.  I'm looking for realistic desires on where you want to live; whether you already live there or you want to move there.  And please tell me why you like living there or why you want to live there.

My city is slowly dying and it probably isn't going to recover.  There isn't much of a future here but I could live a bland, comfortable, and cheap life.  I could buy a nice house out in the suburbs for $125,000 and sit around watching TV.  :shrug: 

I fantasize about moving somewhere far away sometimes.  But, I have great fears on leaving my family and friends.  What if I was super-lonely and didn't meet anybody?  What if I got homesick?

Just outside Portland Or.

Close enough to comfortably drive to the city, but out in the country enough to enjoy a relaxed life.

Everybody wants to live in Portland it seems.  :shrug:

Is Portland all spread out and bland like Denver, Phoenix, and other Western cities?

I don't mind living here in California. But I guess I if I wanted to live somewhere else it would be up north...Seattle or BC Canada.

I'd like to move back to Hawai'i eventually.  It's purdy.  :smirk:

“Strengthened by contemplation and study,
I will not fear my passions like a coward.
My body I will give to pleasures,
to diversions that I’ve dreamed of,
to the most daring erotic desires,
to the lustful impulses of my blood, without
any fear at all, for whenever I will—
and I will have the will, strengthened
as I’ll be with contemplation and study—
at the crucial moments I’ll recover
my spirit as was before: ascetic.”

I've never been to Denver, but I would not consider Portland to be a spread out city.

It's such a green (ecologically friendly) city, very progressive, and filled with breathtaking views. Amazing people as well.

It's my ideal city.

Well, what I meant is that a lot of Western U.S. cities are sprawling and homogenized suburban hell-holes full of Wal-marts, Targets, mini-malls, sub-divisions, office parks, and highways where everything looks the same for 200 miles.

I have never seen a wal-mart over there. Many organic stores. Even downtown has a large produce store (I forgot the name).

The entire city is littered with art. Many good sites. Fountains everywhere. A river that runs down the middle.

Yup, and I'm living that dream.  :woot:

Quite the contrary, my friend.  Portland has been a national model for cities trying to combat sprawl.  It manages to have all the perks of a big city while still retaining a little small town charm.

I want to live near a metropolitan area. And, I do have a penchant for "condensed" cities where there are neighborhoods and shops and you don't have to drive 20 minutes to go do stuff.

How expensive is it to live in Portland? How's the economy?

Not this time of year, unfortunately. Unless you want to be a petitioner for any number of non-profits around here.
