California will always be here for you to come home to. Us in the Millennial Generation will try our best to not mess it up It's not going anywhere and its always an airplane ride away

Home is where you make it!

As to this poll..I can live anywhere really. Just give me food, shelter, clothing, a job, and entertaining people to be around and I'll make it work. At this age, I also seek attractive females to be around so any place with that would be a MAJOR plus

Thanks friend.

California gave me everything...and I will never, ever forget that.

As far as your generation, I sense that your generation is the one that will set things straight. My generation and the one before mine was consumed by greed and everything was about number 1.

But in my experience, you are the generation of conscience and I look forward to all the great things you guys will accomplish.

For me the most undesireable area is the southeast- really just too hot and humid, too many bugs and "critters", not really any great scenery.
The northwest got to have a lot of bugs and critters it rain alot their. Anyways besides the south Atlantic coast, there's the piedmont, Appalachia and cumberland plateau. I never heard anyone say the southeast isn't scenic.

It's weird, but people typically born in the early-mid 70s always tell me that! It's nice to see that SOMEONE believes in us, rather than the baby boomers (our parents) telling us constantly how much we suck It always sort of puzzled me why, since us born in the mid-late 80s always saw you guys as kind of the "big brother/big sister" generation.

We can't do anything without your generation's help either. It will take all of us to get out of this mess together Especially us who were children of poor immigrants, whom parents came to the US with almost nothing.

The reason I love California so much as a state is because time and time again it has exceeded everyone's expectations and always recovered when things seemed the worst. Learning about this state has kind of rubbed off on me in the sense that you really can't be scared to fail. Failure is a part of life, and in my own personal experience, the worst failures can turn into the hugest triumphs as long people believe in it.

That's really not only particular to California (but has shown EXTREME examples of it throughout its 150 year history), but it pervades the whole American ethos. Somewhere down the line, our descendants risked a lot to come here and make it happen. I believe us as individuals and as a society can make it work if we really want it to. No use sitting on our hands, right? That's why I honestly think I can make any place home as long as I really want it to happen and keep a positive mindset in doing so.

Good luck in NYC! I know you've already made those close to you proud!

PNW is very beautiful, but not "by far the most beautiful".

NorCal with its redwood forests, hills, and stunning beaches is also pretty unbelievable. As is Colorado, its mountains and alpine forest; Yosemite, Utah with Bryce Canyon and Zion National park, etc.

Dont get me wrong, PNW is up there, but your statement makes me think you havent travelled much...

Most deirable for me is the Pacific Northwest. Unparalleled natural beauty.

Least desirable... maybe the Northeast?

But even there there are a number of places I would not mind living in (Ithaca, Portland, DC, Cape May, New Paltz )

Are you a GenXer? That's basically the generation leading MY generation right now. We basically follow your generations trends, and still listen to your generations music(Nirvana, Tupac, etc). We don't care much for the baby boomers(because there OLD!!).

For me, the most desirable is tied between the Northeast and the Pacific Northwest, but I voted for the Pacific Northwest on the poll(I would have voted for both if it was an option).

The least desirable is the Southeast, and the Southwest(with the exception of Southern California)
