I had a couple similar threads. I realized I was over-threading, wishing I could delete some, it appears they merged them all into one. Interesting. (Option to delete threads would be nice)
As of right now I have my eye on Portland. Perhaps Eugene, but more so Portland. Also, I know someone there, so that is a plus.
New Orleans seems... idk, Crocodile/Alligators, whatever they are. On top of humid/more likely for disaster than most.
The real thing swaying me to Portland is the landscape though. It may be a little colder than I'd prefer, but it's got some pretty awesome land. I wouldn't mind throwing on a jacket for that. Plus, I actually like rainy days. (Perhaps this would change due to too much rain... but who knows)
Rainy day = Almost always better than a non rainy day.
Cloudy day = also good, though the temperature drop isn't as welcome.
So long as I'm fine with jacket weather all the time, I figure Portland is the place for me. It's so charming. And while I may not like the amount of homeless or the overly hipster vibe, I'm sure I could find somewhere in/near Portland that'd be just about perfect.
My other concern, as people have mentioned is job market. I realize it may not be the best. But from talking to people that have made the move, it seems like all you have to do is be persistent - and have some saved up for that just in case.
