I'd take that 10 million and spend it on a place in the Bay Area.

I would choose Baltimore. Proximity to the harbour, great seafood. Also has a casino like Detroit (Jacks Casino used to be called the Horseshoe). Generally cool to mild winters. Beautiful suburbs and architecture. Excellent medical facilities.
It would be better to let them keep the money rather than live in a place where you could soon be dead because of so much crime.

South Carolina, typically, rates among the states with higher crime. Just sayin'.

Baltimore either way. If suburbs are included and we're looking solely at MSA, I'd move to Annapolis and spend the $10ml on a beautiful mansion near Chesapeake Bay

If it's CSA, then I'd buy a mansion near the mountains around Winchester or Front Royal, VA and call it a day.

That's not part of the Baltimore area. Why do folks insist on introducing DC in this thread

That's ridiculous. I could careless. I have other things to do. And pretend? Since when did you become a physic? Some of you folks on CD are strange. This is comical. I hate popcorn BTW. Not everyone has a motive. That's all in your head. It takes one to know one...sorry but I'm not that pettie Sharkeesha I meant Shakeesha...lol wierdo.

There is no premise. Stop thinking so hard.

I didn't burn any calories coming up with that hypothesis. Premise aside, I'm Pro-Baltimore anyway you thinly veil it.

I'm pro Baltimore too have you not read my prior post? Gees just give me a little credit. There is always a negative person on CD who challenges someone else's original post. Relax enjoy life. Stop being so tense and overly sensitive. I just don't think like that. But Im not fond of ASSumptions I have zero tolerance for people like this and will definitely express that. Do you have any other social media accounts? I've never met a bunch of politically correct overly sensitive people than what I see here on CD.
