Salt Lake City because Mormons freak me out a little.
Phoenix - lived there for a year and had a headache for 6 months from the dry heat.
Atlanta - just everything I've heard about it it does nothing for me.
any FL city - I have no idea how those people can stand all those hideous bugs and horrific humidity.
San Fran - although I LOVE visiting, but I'm a big baby when it comes to the idea of earthquakes. Also I can't imagine hiking all those hills all the time, but OTOH man would my a$$ look good.
Top 5 I'd LOVEto be able to live in if I could afford it:
1. Denver
2. New York
3. Chicago
4. San Diego
5. Minnneapolis
They all seem so cool and fun and urban and hip...which is why I guess they are prohibitively expensive.
Denver, Chicago and Minneapolis are FAR from prohibitively expensive.....and if they're not at the median in terms of cost of living in the U.S., they are BELOW the median (e.g. average home price is still below $200k). NYC and SD are a different story completely.
Eh, I can still think of many other reasons why it's not for me: traffic, smog, etc. I abhorred Atlanta traffic when I lived there, so there's no way I'd be able to survive LA traffic.
Yes, there is a lot of traffic. But that's what happens when the population grows so much over 30-40 years.
The smog in LA is blown out of proportion for 3 reasons...
1. It depends on which part of LA.
2. It was much worse in the 1970s and 1980s.
3. There have been no stage 2 or 3 smog alerts for over 20 years.
Where I live, the air is quite clear and the mountains can be seen practically every day (every non-rainy day, that is)...
