- New York ─ Good: Invigorating, great food, some very nice people ─ Bad: Rudest, loudest, crassest people on earth (You are always wrong-I am always right), crowded, sleezy, expensive, dangerous.
- L.A. ─ Good: Beaches, theme parks, museums, weather, wide streets & freeways ─ Bad: Traffic, way too few left turn signals, regimentation (I'll let you in when I'm ready, then you do what you gotta do quickly and get out, but don't expect me to appreciate your business attitude towards customers), anal people, hard to find a good meal.
- Phoenix ─ Good: Scenery, Frank Lloyd Wright house, desert landscaping (Sonora Desert), clear skies, seldom rains (even with the monsoons in summer) ─ Bad: 5º to 10º hotter than Las Vegas, monsoons in summer (humidity in the desert is low even when raining, but higher in Phoenix than is comfortable at 110º to 115º), air pollution, stinks from combination heat and farm vegetation, boring, ugly city, poorly located.
- Dallas ─ Good: Food if you like lots of beef, Texas wimmin. ─ Bad: Texas men, give him a Viagra and he gets taller, all that loud, yeehaw sh**, rude people trying too hard to look friendly, weather, boring, flat plains, not much there.
- Las Vegas ─ Good: It's in Nevada with it's libertarian-live & let live-attitude towards life, over 300 days of sunshine a year, gonzo outdoor recreation, entertainment capital of the world, having the Strip as one of the attractions but not being the only thing there is to Las Vegas, shopper's paradise, 24 hour availability for (almost) anything you need, scenery, proximity to most of the greatest attractions in the west, 12,000 foot tall mountains, largest man made lake in U.S., snow ski & water ski in same day, tallest structure west of the Mississippi, nearly 4000 trade shows and conventions per year, nearly 40 million visitors per year, nice homes (right now fantastic bargains), great desert landscaping (Mojave Desert), traffic fairly mild most of time, city of fantastic conveniences -100's of restaurants, 100's of convenience stores, 100's of drug stores, 100's of gas stations, 100's of Starbucks, 100's of grocery stores, in fact 100's of almost everything, 5th largest school district in U.S., 5th busiest airport, no state income tax, no corporate tax, no tax on groceries, low utility rates including phones..., and me.
─ Bad: 8.1% retail sales tax, high vehicle registration/license plate fees, high insurance rates, too hot in summer, wind, false bad image created by marketers to attract hypocrites looking for naughty excitement for themselves but who condemn it for others (this is actually good if you're in the service industry), too many people/houses ruining the desert ecology, young city-not enough cultural attractions yet, lots of parks but not enough shade trees yet, everyone from somewhere else so drivers all have different styles...mostly rude and reckless..., too many people move here for the good that we have, running away from things they didn't like where they came from, then wanting to change what we have into whatever they just ran away from.
- San Francisco ─ Good: Food, location, food, weather. ─ Bad: Really weird people...freaks actually.
- Seattle ─ Good: Coffee, seafood (that's all I know) ─ Bad: Obviously the weather.
