2- San Francisco
3- Austin
4- Chicago
5- Seattle
In no particular order:

1. Someplace in rural New Hampshire/Maine.

I don't need or want 5 homes.

I wouldn't chose to live in a big city. I would want scenic places that are obscure such as mountains, rural farm land, secluded coast line, woods, or even in the middle of a desert. I guess I'm getting older and crabbier....and less tolerant of people.
