Alpharetta for sure because it is not located in a state with anti-lgbt laws, and is close to Atlanta.

Santa Fe, TN or Nashville, IN?

I live in NC and you don't know what you're talking about, Shakeesha. The law/bill you're talking about is not anti-LGBT. It's pro-privacy rights for EVERYONE, not just for a selected group. Even SCJ Ruth Ginsberg (who is Liberal) sides in favor that no one's perceived right to use the restroom, dress/undress, and shower wherever they please doesn't override the general public's right to their personal privacy in such intensely private matters. The anti-discrimination statutes in the bill concerning gays/LGBT in terms of housing and jobs, everyone (including me) was for 100% (that fact is always oh-so conveniently left out of the discussion). BUT, the restroom/dressing room/shower room arm of the bill was covertly inserted at the last second, knowing it couldn't win on its own merits due to its anti-privacy measure. The very reaction YOU had towards this bill (based on emotion and lack of knowing the facts) is exactly what they wanted and counted on. I know this isn't the main theme of this thread, but YOU threw that unfair and untrue statement in. It really becomes tiring when I keep reading and hearing these things that are not based on reality at all, just what someone's own personal narratives and biases dictate to them. Anyway, I'm dropping the mic on this one.

Nashville. I love Santa Fe, but Nashville is larger and a bit more affordable. But I really love both.

Allentown, PA or Grand Rapids, MI?

Flagstaff! The winters would be way too cold for me, but the positives of the location outweigh the cold.

Galveston, TX or Biloxi, MS?

Jefferson City is a prettier area imo. Great shopping, restaurants, and things to do. It is an underrated area.

Dorchester, MA or Evans, GA?

Dorchester, MA

It is adjacent to Boston so there is a lot to do there (dining, waterfront, historic sites, culture, etc). IMO I could adjust to a chilly MA winter easier than a hot and humid GA summer because I grew up in MN. Summers where I have lived for the last 15 years are cool compared to most of the USA. Would be a challenge to make that adjustment in GA.

Provo, UT or Lawrence, KS?
