Santa Cruz. I wouldn't care to be in such a massive metro area as LA. Being in Santa Cruz provides easy access to incredible natural areas including redwood forests.

Searcy, Arkansas or Lewisburg, Pennsylvania?

Both are a lot better than I expected, but Lewisburg has better schools, while still being inexpensive.

Alpharetta, Georgia or Pleasanton, California?

Alpharetta. Would rather be in GA. Guymon OK or Independence KS?

Definitely Independence. Dustbowl country has no appeal to me.

Odessa, Texas or Sebastopol, California? (not the Black Sea ports )

Sebastopol. Not to mention I like the scenery and nature by there, better. Odessa is more isolated, than I prefer in west Texas. Even if it is near Midland, to the east.

Scenic places near nice nature areas, moreso than Odessa in west Texas and New Mexico: Cloudcroft, NM, or Alpine, TX?

Both are pretty similar, but Alpine is a bit cheaper, so I'll go with that one.

Mt. Lebanon, Pennsylvania or Edina, Minnesota?

I'll go with Mt. Lebanon, since the cost of living is a little less there. Edina almost seems from looking up its stats (though it isn't Irvine, CA, but still.....), a little bit pricier than I prefer.

Speaking of that very recent Alabama vs. Indiana thread here: Hoover, AL, or Carmel, IN?

Carmel... both would be very nice places to live but Carmel is more in line with what I'm looking for from a cultural/political standpoint. Living within the larger metro area would hopefully present better opportunities for me too.

Another Alabama vs Indiana battle:

Huntsville, AL or South Bend, IN?

Huntsville is a far better town. The neat museums, art stores, and restaurants are nice. The city is growing faster as well.

Newark, NJ or Richmond, CA?

Newark. From what I hear, Richmond is a purely industrial suburb of Oakland/San Francisco. Newark is an actual city with a downtown, shops and restaurants, sports arena, performing arts center and museum.

An original and a wannabe:

Charlottesville, Va., or Newark, Del.?

(And what am I referring to with that description of the two cities?)
