substituteThey pegged me as a book-hugging liberal who demands other rootless cosmopolitans, but without huge chunks of money. The results are pretty obvious.
1. Portland, OR. (Yeah, yeah, yeah.) I wonder how long before Portland gets Seattled by all us asshole Californians fleeing there. Sorry about all that, guys. But I'm happy for my friends who have moved there; it's a great town and I love to visit.
2. Providence, RI. Aside from the Lovecraft connection, I dunno. I'd like to visit there, though.
3. New Haven, CT. Oh great! Yalies and angry underclass people!
4. Hartford, CT. Insurance?
5. Boston, MA. Great place. I might even be able to stand the winters.
5. Eugene, OR. I hate hippies.
6. Corvallis, OR. OKAY OKAY OREGON WHATEVER
7. Worcester, MA. See Boston.
8. Medford, OR. The West's only water-powered grist mill! Of course!
9. Danbury, CT. Is this more insurance?
10. Little Rock, AR. I do not own a Bowie knife.
11. Honolulu, HI. Of all the places to live in Hawaii, this has to be at the bottom of my list.
12. Salem, OR. I GET IT.
13. Baltimore, MD. I am not sure I could handle a Baltimore summer no matter what else the advantages.
14. Sacramento, CA. Because I like rice farming, politicians, boredom, and brain-searing heat!
15. Cape Cod, MA. See Boston.
16. San Francisco, CA. My personal #1. I'd move there if I won the lottery.
17. Washington, DC. I have been in DC in August. I do not understand why the other humans had not left.
18. San Jose, CA. People tell me there are nice parts of this town; I haven't seen them. I really think of it as a place to get gas or to install computers in a colocation center and then have a bad burrito.
19. Bend, OR. OREGON GONG! Plus the magic of lumber!
20. Las Vegas, NV. This is a place to visit for 3 days and enjoy the superheated Fellini film, and then run away. It is not a habitation.
21. Baton Rouge, LA. Heat, humidity, huge insects, the KKK, more huge insects, drunken corrupt law enforcement, and heat. I think they believe I should live there because there is a college there.
22. New Orleans, LA. I think New Orleans would be worth a lot of the above because it's one of the world's great cities. I would take on that challenge.
23. Santa Barbara, CA. Hey, no problem. I like Santa Barbara just fine. I think less people should move there, though; they're already out of water.

Where to Live
Date: 2005-07-21 09:17 pm (UTC)Hartford -- You like traffic problems?
Danbury -- Trader Joes and Stew Leonards. There's a big awful mall there, but you'd eat well.
For either Boston or Cape Cod, you'd have to win the lottery. And if you won the lottery, you'd move to San Francisco, so...
