could live in? Texas (home state, I know it so well, that's part of the problem), Montana, Idaho, Colorado, Nevada, maybe Wisconsin, Louisiana, N Carolina, Virginia, Massachusetts-- hell, maybe Maine.
would never live in- any of the rest. I'm kind of stuck in Missouri, but I have plans....
My first choice for anywhere in the world to live in would be Mexico. Yep, narcoterrorism and all.
would never live in: any of the "New" states, I prefer things to have been tested out beforehand and have no desire to be part of some weirdo socio-economic experiment.
I am a person that enjoys places based on a certain live and let live vibe and I have found Austin to be a place I do not enjoy
Why would you "only live IN Austin" when it comes to Texas? Nothing that can be found in Austin that cannot be found in Dallas, Houston, San Antonio or Ft Worth....
I didn't like Austin, either. Too much traffic and boring. Liked all of the rest of non-city Texas. Except, it's too hot there, for me.
Inspired by a topic I saw in the World forum. Here's my list to give an example
Love to live in
Oregon, Washington, California, Colorado, New York, Massachusettes, and Pennsylvania
Wouldn't mind living in
New Mexico, Texas (only because Austin is there), Louisiana, Hawaii, North Carolina, Illinois, Minnesota, New Jersey, Alaska, Rhode Island (basically any New England state besides Mass.)
Visit but never live
Florida, Arizona, Utah, Tennessee, Idaho, Montana, Wisconsin, and parts of California (Central Valley, Mojave, and where I'm currently at)
Love to live in
California, New York, Pennsylvania, Colorado, can I throw in D.C.?
Wouldn't mind living in
Minnesota, Washington, Oregon, Ohio, North Carolina, Virginia, Massachusetts
Visit but never live
Arizona, Utah, Florida, Maine, South Carolina, Michigan
I would love to live in coastal Florida or Hawaii (but I genuinely think I'd eventually be bored with both).
I wouldn't mind living in states like Arizona, New Mexico, Maine, Georgia, Washington, California, New York.
I could never live in (but would visit time and time again!) a state not bordering the ocean (I know I mentioned Arizona and NM as possibilities, but those are new to me - desert, which I've always been very interesting in experiencing and I think I'd like to live in). States in the midwest, mostly, or inland states more similar in look to what I'm used to that aren't near the ocean are out of the question. I am such a beach person. At least desert areas have sand.
Wouldn't mind living in: Florida (obvious - I live here), Georgia, North Carolina, Virginia, northern California (if it weren't for earthquakes, droughts, fires and mudslides CA would be higher on the list)
Could never live in: anyplace in the Midwest, Arkansas, Mississippi, Hawaii or anyplace where it stays cold into April
As long as you put me in a medium to large metro area, I'm good. And there might be some smaller cities I'd be OK with.
So my nevers would be North and South Dakota, Wyoming, Montana, West Virginia, Mississippi.
My I hope I never have to, but I'd figure it out since they have some good cities states are Florida, Texas, Arizona, Georgia, Alabama, South Carolina, Louisiana...because I prefer four true seasons with a little bit of snow and my least favorite weather is super hot.
Love to Live:
North Carolina, South Carolina (Charlotte's SC suburbs and coastal areas), Florida (Central), Virginia, and Pennsylvania (except Philly area).
Wouldn't Mind Living:
Texas, Colorado, Idaho, Washington (Eastern part of the state), Minnesota (MSP Metro).
Visit but Never Live:
California, New York, New Jersey, Hawaii, Oregon and Washington (western parts of the states), West Virginia, Massachusetts.
The rest of the states I really have no strong feeling one way or the other, or I wouldn't want to visit OR live.
Love to live in: Arizona, California, Oregon, Washington, Colorado, Virginia.
Wouldn't mind living in: Texas, Utah, New Mexico, Georgia, North Carolina, Maryland, Delaware(weird I know)
Would visit but never live: Hawaii, Florida, Nebraska(I want to checkout Omaha), Michigan, Vermont, Maine, Pennsylvania.
States that I can't decide if I could ever live there or not: New York, Illinois, Tennessee.
