Ok, I'm adding a couple of things. I would edit them in to the first post, but the edit button disappeared.
- I love hockey. Watching it and playing it. If I could I would be on the ice every day all day, but I have a life to live
- I have a rottwieler.
Based on your other thread I would say Miami.... the one where you say Miami is your top choice but your concerned about your dog and safety. Miami has plenty of safe areas and Rottweillers..
Based on this thread I'm not so sure though. One thing I would consider is that Miami is conservative in some regards, mostly that the majority are Catholic but it is very very liberal on most social issues. Denver not so much. To me the social environment would be more of a factor than whether my dog will have to adjust to the heat. Dogs like people are pretty resiliant.
This was from like, a month ago. Right now, I think my order is Seattle, Miami, Denver. I honestly have no idea though. And religion isn't really that big, I would just like to be able to go to a nice church every once in a while.
Thanks for reading. You can reply or vote, I don't mind either. Here are the criteria:
- I love sports, college, pro and highschool
- My favorite time of the year is summer, especially the 4th of July, and I love watching 4th of July fireworks
- I love camping, hiking, boating, and just being outside.
- I like snow in the winter, but I can live without it.
- I would like a good place to raise a family
- I would like a place with zoo's, aquariums, museums, ect..
- I like warm weather, but I also like cold weather
- I like being around bodies of water, but just like snow, it's not a necessity
Id go with Seattle first, then Denver.
Its already July 13th, and there is still skiing at Crystal Mountain only an hour drive away from Seattle. Plus Seattle is close to three National Parks, (the Olympics, North Cascades, and Mt. Rainier).
Although Seattle is wet and rainy in the winter, you can find plenty of snow only a 30-40 minute drive east of the city. The Cascades and Olympics recieve some of the heaviest snowfalls in the world (up to 1000 inches in a season in spots).
Seattle is close to Puget Sound, and the Pacific Ocean. Denver is nice, but a bit to dry for my tastes.
After researching the criteria, I put Seattle first with Denver a close second. After looking at housing, they're tied. The Seattle area has some nice houses, but the Denver area has a lot of nice houses for not as much. Plus, a lot of the Denver area houses I saw had views of the Rockies. Keep in mind, I was just looking to get a general idea of housing in both places.
- I love sports, college, pro and highschool Well Denver and Miami have all big 4 and college. Seattle is missing basketball and NHL. Miami has University of Miami and the best high school football and baseball in the country.
- My favorite time of the year is summer, especially the 4th of July, and I love watching 4th of July fireworks Well summers in Seattle and Denver will be nice. Hot and raining in Miami. But then it rains a lot in Seattle too.
- I love camping, hiking, boating, and just being outside. Well all three cities have this. Seattle has a mix of both coast and mountains. Miami outdoors i more of a boating, coast thing. But parts of Florida do have some "hills" and lakes rivers etc.. Miami is bordered by two national parks. Biscayne National Park a Coral Reef and of course the Everglades.
- I like snow in the winter, but I can live without it. Well Denver lots of snow, Seattle you can drive and see some in a short distance. Miami forget about it.
- I would like a good place to raise a family Seattle or Denver is probably better for this with better public schools. But its all personal choices. Miami can be a great place too.
- I would like a place with zoo's, aquariums, museums, ect.. I am not sure about Denver or Seattle on this one. But Miami has one of the best and largest zoo's in the country, has parrot jungle another small zoo with exotic animals. Well its not small but small compared to the main zoo. Also the Miami seaquarium. One of the better ones in the country with Killer Whales, seals, fish etc..
- I like warm weather, but I also like cold weather. Warm Miami, Cold Denver, medium Seattle
- I like being around bodies of water, but just like snow, it's not a necessity Well Miami you can really enjoy the water a lot. Seattle its there but its no tropical beach. Denver well nothing.
Given what you said I think Seattle may be the best fit. But there is a lot that goes into choosing a place to live.
