If money were no object, which major USA downtown would you pick to live?
During the past three months, I've traveled to Manhattan, San Francisco, San Jose, Portland, Chicago, and Miami for biz/personal trips.

I've stayed in mid-priced hotels. (Actually, non were cheap as in staying at a Best Western in the 'burbs. )

Observations:
Manhatten: Used to love to go here. Now I find it crowded, dirty, and people are rude on the streets, but normal once inside. Least value per sq ft of hotel space of all the cities.
San Fran: Love the Wharf. Expensive, a homeless problem, past its prime?
Portland: Beautiful, had to fight off the homeless on every block as I walked. No sun the entire trip.
San Jose: Energy! Wonderful weather, expensive as hell. Traffic sucked.
Chicago: More I go, the more I fall in love. Clean, not crowded, people are friendly. Saw two panhandlers the entire weekend. Good hotel value.
Miami: Great food, the babes on South Beach were amazing eye candy. It would be too hot in summer. Condos expensive.

So if I had to move from middle of no-where Wisconsin where there are more cows that cars, I would pick downtown Chicago and try to find a condo overseeing a river or Lake Michigan.

What about you?

I’ve done the country living. I Couldn’t handle the inconvience working full time and doing that. My parents did but 30 miles to the nearest store gets old quick.

I enjoy citing living and the convienence. Not sure I’d like raising a family in a major downtown area but I’d love living in a major downtown area if single or no kids. San Diego would be my choice. I’d honestly consider Nashville too.

I may return to country living when I’m older. But for now, it has no appeal.

Greenville, SC. Nice downtown area with plenty of entertainment and eating options. City is still small enough it doesn’t seem crowded.

I'm a weirdo I've basically had my fill of the city - but I'd take Manhattan in a heartbeat. However if it weren't Manhattan, I'd just assume relocate to Pittsburg Ks or Frontenac... I love those towns for their character. I'm tired of Atlanta, mostly because I don't care for the people here, 'overall'

I drive to Pittsburgh about 6 times a year to meet with a few suppliers my plant works with. I have a few contacts in town. If I hear of anything that fits into your skill set, I’ll shoot you a pm.

The south has all of those negative stereotypes for a reason. Never been to Atlanta but I’ve heard the traffic there is insane.

We've gone down there the last couple of years to watch Braves games at Sun Trust. Last year I rented a car. The Saturday game was a night game, so I decided to drive over to Stone Mountain that afternoon. Traffic on I-285 on a Saturday was like Monday rush hour in Chicago, there and back. It was crazy. No accidents, good weather. It just sucked.

When we went down this year, we just stayed by the ball park and didn't rent a car. I have no plans to ever drive there again.

I’d buy a huge ass building and live with all of you. A short drive from Arrowhead. And i’d bang Loochy’s old lady. Not Pestilence’s old lady though, she’s too fertile. Though I bet she wants it.

Manhattan is fun but not sustainable for my tastes. Never going to live where the snow and ice is common and often for too many months.

Been to all on that list. Visited many more in the USA. I like where I’m at. Me and Mrs. BRC are happy. Even if we won the lottery, we’d travel but “home” would be in this area.

Restoring cars seems interesting in concept, but in reality I hate changing my oil or replacing a water pump. So that seems like a better vicarious hobby than a real one. I've also dipped my toes into woodworking but I hate, hate, hate finishing work. I don't play golf. Fishing and hunting are pleasant enough and u did my share growing up, but I have not developed them as interests as an adult. I despise yard work and gardening.

Boating is fun, but I doubt I could make a life out of it being my main thing.

I still want to build a business based on computer technology -- and that would give me motivation to get out of bed every day. In my spare time I want to cook and walk and cycle and go to restaurants, museums, and bars -- things I like to do on vacation, but I would do them regularly in retirement.

I went to ATL for training for a week. Went up after a Chiefs playoff game on Sunday. There was an ice storm as l arrived. When l left on Friday, all the major interstates were still having cars drive in ice ruts to get out of town. No thanks to that city.
