Dry air with no bugs but lush greenery all around (fine print "if you pay $100s to water your grass lawn")
300 days of sunshine that burn that snow off the ground so quick you won't even know it fell
Nature is all around. Bears will frolic in your backyard (please don't feed them as they will shoot them if you do). Should a moose wander by please don't get too close. They will stomp you and then someone will want to shoot the moose.

Basically it is everything you ever wanted with all the amenities of every place you have ever lived without any of the things you didn't want, all at a super low cost. (microfine small print "if you're from CA or NYC")
What have you been smoking?

Maybe it's me but points #3, #7 and #11 seem conflicting.


3. Said home must be within walking distance of world-class opera, symphony, major museums, genuine ethnic restaurants, and a good supermarket. (said events would generate traffic / noise)

7. Close proximity to major international airport as well as internationally recognized hospital and an excellent public library.

11. Within easy walking distance of hiking trails that have a rural feel and no traffic noise.

PEOPLE, the thread is a JOKE. Everyone knows there's no such place. Just play and have a good time on this thread because it was meant to be funny.

This thread is serious bidn'ss. It ain't no joking matter.

With a flux capacitor in the DeLorean and 88 mph, I'd dial in 1950. You could probably find it, inflation-adjusted, in California.

Colorado might be the wrong answer! Was it last year or the year before when Colorado was in the national news over and over again for some kind of disasters, either natural or man made.

Now, I heard tonight that Denver is one of the top sanctuary cities in the US that shield criminal illegal aliens from the law.
