You can chit chat about where is the best place to live in the US ad nausea but it still doesn't alter the fact that West Londoner cannot work in the US unless she qualifies and thus far it appears that neither she nor her boyfriend doesn't and so can't. That's the bottom line. Cheers from a curmudgeon!

Doesn't matter to me a rat's patootie actually! The OP asked about living/working in the US and my initial response was simply en pointe where immigration laws are concerned. One can discourse at length about where in the US the OP might be more comfortable living but unless she's eligible where US immigration is concerned, any discussion really has no merit.
As I mentioned earlier, she needs to investigate what's required where US immigration is concerned. Hope I answered your query. Cheers!

Whether or not she can actually obtain status to move/work in the US was not her question...she asked about places to live so I don't really see the need to remind her of what she has to do to become a US citizen....
You can't get anything decent for £200,000 let alone $200,000 in London. The average wage you would need to earn to be able to afford a modest house is £70,000 per year. It is very difficult.
NYC is just as, if not more expensive than London. In NYC you won't find ANYTHING even remotely near $200k. You'd be looking at $500k+ for a 1 bedroom apartment, a detached house will run you over $1M.
I too would look at Texas if I were you, dirt cheap housing prices and decent jobs.

But doesn't the circumstance predicate? Feel free to carry on as we're obviously talking in circles and my sage advice has become redundant. Cheers!

That is, of course, thoroughly ridiculous. There are eight million people who call New York City home, and I would like to say that the overwhelming majority of us cannot and do not pay anywhere near half a million dollars for a one-bedroom apartment. (The majority of us don't rent on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, either ). Look outside Manhattan, and watch those rental rates decrease!
I am originally from Mississippi which is known to be deep south and extremely racist, however I never experienced any direct racism. On the other hand it wasn't diverse at all. Certain races and social classes lived together while others stayed in other parts of the city. However, Houston is nothing of the sort. I actually experienced a little culture shock when I moved here because I wasn't used to the diversity in race. There are all nationalities, races, social classes here and everyone gets along. My husband is black and white, I am black, one of our next door neighbors is an Indian family, the other is hispanic. I live in an upper class neighborhood and it is comprised of whites, blacks, indians, asians, hispanics, etc and we all get along just great!! It's a very diverse city!!!
It is really nice to hear, that you live happily in a multi-cultural neighbourhood. There are so many states to choose from and pros and cons for many of them. It is very difficult. I suppose the best way to know, is to visit the places first hand and get a real feel for them. Could prove very expensive with the amount of states you have!! I would have to really research the location carefully before I started to seriously contemplate looking for work overseas.

How do you know I do not qualify to work in the US based on my postings? How do you know my boyfriend doesn't? You barely know a thing about me or him. You could be correct, but you seem to be jumping the gun in a major way with your negativity. You seem to have a problem with UK residents working in the US, yet there are thousands of Americans working in London.
