Tess, did you really come up with my town? That is freakish. I didn't come up with my town. You must have listed a higher home price than I did. House prices are really going up here. Ddr, I have quit ironing the sheets. I have just put away the expensive Egyptian cotton ones and am using the no-iron other ones. Of course, if you come to stay and find an ironing board set up in the guest room and no sheets on the bed, you know what to do with that pile of rumpled stuff on the ironing board.

well, i said i hate humidity and it gave my honolulu as number 1! but my favorite town to live in was always oakland (and the surrounding area) and it came in at number 2. how boston ever made the list, i have no idea. at least it was number 14 or something... i hate humidity and cold winters...musta been the sports and nightlife that brought that hell-hole up. yep, if i were 25 and single, i would head back to the east bay (oakland) area. ds will probably be moving there this summer.

LOL... I'm living in my #7 top spot!! Tabby, I had Honolulu as #1, too, and I *hate* humidity! I also said I hadda have the beach, and they put me in Las Vegas and Sacramento and Little Rock??? And I said I hate cold, so, um... BOSTON? NEW HAVEN? Edited to add: P.S. And, um... why only the US? Cause really, my top spot would be somewhere on a Greek Isle. Or at least, in the Mediterranean somewheres... Here's my list: Honolulu, Hawaii Los Angeles, California Long Beach, California New Orleans, Louisiana Las Vegas, Nevada Baton Rouge, Louisiana San Diego, California Orange County, California Little Rock, Arkansas Henderson, Nevada Baltimore, Maryland Washington, District of Columbia Sacramento, California Oakland, California Alexandria, Louisiana Portland, Oregon Boston, Massachusetts Lafayette (Cajun Country), Louisiana San Jose, California San Francisco, California Providence, Rhode Island Monroe, Louisiana New Haven, Connecticut Kihei, Hawaii I'm not so sure about this site... there are too many places that obviously don't fit my criteria (cold winters, no beaches)... P.S. Good thing I'm a California girl, huh? But really, my best spot would be a Greek Island somewhere, or at least on the Med!

Juju, I honest to goodness came up with your home town. We can be quite flexible on home price so I guess that's a plus, huh? Funny thing is, my own area didn't come up on my list at all. Not even close. And I love it here. hmmm. Apparently I either belong where Juju is or I should be in North Carolina. Hey! That's where Zed is. hahahahaha. I just can't go wrong at all.

Costa, what is with all your Louisiana cities? From what I know of you, that doesn't seem to suit you at all! Particularly if you hate humidity. I'm with you...a nice isle somewhere would really suit me. With lots of servants and ice cream. Half, did you mark that you love freezing weather?

Just to be an idiot I retook the quiz for the fun of it. Decided just to pick "strongly disagree" for EVERY question. When optional questions came, didn't answer. Other questions answered (i think)...big city, high crime fine,not religious, picked lowest for rent/housing,. Results: Tucson, Arizona Yuma, Arizona San Antonio, Texas El Paso, Texas Memphis, Tennessee Oklahoma City, Oklahoma Phoenix, Arizona Austin, Texas Dallas, Texas Birmingham, Alabama Jacksonville, Florida Tampa, Florida Houston, Texas Fort Worth, Texas Orlando, Florida Port Charlotte, Florida Charleston, South Carolina Salt Lake City, Utah West Palm Beach, Florida Brownsville, Texas McAllen, Texas Miami, Florida Louisville, Kentucky Charlotte, North Carolina Since I still feel like being an idiot, I may go retake it and pick "strongly agree", with the same as the rest. (that is if dh doesn't get home before then. :>) )

Not1 - yes! Cold weather and LOTS and LOTS of SNOW ! I also chose trees, woods, parks, nature, water. No sand - it gets in places you just can't reach!

See, Not? Nail, head, hit... I do NOT like cold weather and I do NOT like humidity. Half the places listed where either landlocked, humid areas, or freezin' butt cold winters. That's why I wonder (doubt?) the reliability of this site... apparently, weather preferences take count lower than, say, housing prices...? (I had a fairly high purchase/rental cost, since, well, I'm used to fairly high housing here!)

There are a number of excellent cities here in California..the weather is perfect, but the cost to live here is way too high. With the terminator in office we probably won't have policemen, firemen, teachers or adequate health care soon, so every city will be "Death Valley" forget California.......lol

Congrats on the good news Eliz! Where in NY? My parents grew up in upstate NY, I still have many relatives there. It was only 3 hr. from NE Ohio where I grew up, so we used to visit often. Very nice area!

In the paper on Friday, I saw this report where my area is the second safest metro area to live (out of 281 they looked at). They also have rankings by population size and overall cities (which is somehow different than metro areas). Morgan Quinto Awards Overall out of 350 cities: Safest city: Amherst, NY Least safe city: Detroit, MI Cities of 500,000 or more: Safest: San Jose, CA Least safe: Detroit, MI Cities of 100,000 to 499,999: Safest: Amherst, NY Least safe: St. Louis, MO Cities of 75,000 to 99,999: Safest: Brick Twnshp, NJ Least safe: Camden, NJ Overall metro areas: Top 10 safest: 1. Bangor, ME 2. Oshkosh-Appleton-Neenah, WI 3. Wausau, WI 4. LaCrosse, WI-MN 5. Danbury, CT 6. Stamford-Norwalk, CT 7. Sheboygan, WI 8. Eau Claire, WI 9. State College, PA 10. Bismark, ND Bottom 10: 1. Pine Bluff, AR 2. New Orleans, LA 3. Miami, FL 4. Jackson, MS 5. Stockton-Lodi, CA 6. Myrtle Beach, SC 7. Alexandria, LA 8. Albuquerque, NM 9. Sumter, SC 10. Shreveport-Bossier City, LA

No cities in Illinois get to be on any of the lists because we do not know how to properly count our crime.

I loved living in Miami, but there's lots of places you could get in a lot of hurt if you don't know where you are going and wander into the wrong place.
