I did a survey on this site Best Places to Live: Compare the Best Cities & Small Towns for You!

It basically asks you questions on what you look for as your lifestyle and hobbies and fit you into your state:

Out of 4-pages, the first three was Loveland, CO, Fort Collins, CO and then Denver, CO.

LoL!!

Do the survey and post back where it says you should be living at?

Those surveys often are structured to tell you what you want to hear.

It gave me Albuquerque, Portland, Hartford, Honolulu, Providence, New Haven. What a weird quiz! Not a single CO city listed. Maybe because I dont ski?

I got all the way to the end, then found it wanted a lot of personal information. I don't need any more junk e-mails, etc.

Put in a BS e-mail (fake) it will run your stats.

Another way of looking at it is for about 20 out of 24 hours a day there is very little difference in your life no matter what city you live in. The big thing is where can you get a job. You sleep, you get ready for work, you drive to work, you work, you drive home, you turn on your PC so you can post on City-Data, you have dinner, you brush your teeth, you go back to bed. Even in California you are only outside maybe an hour a day on average - on the weekends. During the week it is maybe 15 minutes per day. You are almost always inside or in your car. (The big exception are those guys who work outside - then it really does make a difference where you live. It is also different if you are retired or you are a mom with kids who can or can't take their kids to the outdoor park everyday.)

The average Californian is doing the same thing the average Minnesotan is doing on the weekends in winter and summer: Paying bills, waiting at the oil change place, doing laundry, taking his kids to basketball practice, driving somewhere, washing his dog, watching football, going online. The big difference is the Californian is paying twice as much for a home so he can have a nice weather hour each weekend day. Sure, somebody will argue that they jog on the beach everyday - like one guy in 5,000 does that.

It does matter though. If the 15mins a day and weekends you WANT to spend outside, it's raining, then that sucks. I hate being stuck indoors all fall and most of winter because of the rain. (I live in Ohio). Thats why so many people have seasonal depression where I live. And why a lot of people are fat.
