You just won the lottery...where in the USA would you live? (appliances, vacation home)

You can pick up an OG for a few hundred thousand, or go even cheaper for a similar design from of his understudies at Taliesin.

Nice! Frank Lloyd Wright was (obviously) very influential in California architecture. Had no idea he was from Wisconsin.

If I can't afford to do it in California, I want to do it in Oregon...if not, even in Baja California norte (Mexico) where there is a growing modernist movement. I just need to stay somewhat close to the Pacific though (not a beach home, just within driving distance).

I wouldn't live in any city. I'd like a home in the mountains near a city. The mountains outside of Denver would be great.

I checked "Other". I would be an expat, probably move to Sweden or one of those other nice, slightly "socialist" countries.

If money was never a concern again for you, you'd go to a place where you wouldn't have to pay for healthcare but would have to pay higher taxes?

Meh... the Cost of Living and people's earnings are so high in pretty much all those cities except Detroit that you HAVE to be a millionaire to be in a halfway decent living situation... everything is just higher, so I'm not really surprised.

I would go to NYC and buy a swanky place in Manhattan. Boston and DC are close behind. Would love to live in any of those places now, but just can't afford it.

In a Villa in Southern California.

I would head back to the west coast, looking at you Santa Barbara!
