None of the above. I even hate skAnchorage. It's full of mostly DSMF transients.

If I had to choose off that list, first choice would be Anchorage

I wouldn't want to live in any of them but if I had to then New Orleans would top the list.

I've visited all of those cities except Anchorage. I would stick with Oklahoma City.

Good God, it's a list of places in hell. I've been to a lot of those cities. I happily viewed most of them in the rear view mirror.

I'd rather be broke and in jail in the boonies than be in a city and walk around with a pocketful of $$$$$$!!!

Cities don't bother me much, hell - I've been to a lot on that list, and lived in one of the largest.
I don't think I'd have much trouble being comfortable in L.A., San Francisco, New York, Chicago, San Diego, and certainly would have trouble not having a hell of a good time.
I guess I'm lucky in being comfortable and at home in whatever surroundings I'm in.
I replace valve cover gaskets every 50K, if they don't need them sooner...

Not a one. No place for a gun-toting Bohemian liberal. Actually, NYC would fit the bill.

I guess I'm lucky in being comfortable and at home in whatever surroundings I'm in. I've been to most on the list and lived in at least five on the list. I never liked cities much which is one among many reasons I live in MT by choice, but I don't look down my nose at cities either. For me, great places to visit... and in fact I do. My father lives in midtown Manhattan (NYC) and I'd chose there just to be close to him. He's fortunate however, he lives on the Maine Coast 6 mo's out of the year... cities wear him out too.

NYC? San Fran? Chicago? If these are the best we have to offer, no wonder this country is in such bad shape.

The list is all cities. Count me out because I wouldn't live in any of them.

The only thing worse than a liberal is a liberal that thinks they're a conservative.

Such a great city. Haven't had one bad day there yet!

I've lived in a few of those cities, and there isn't one I'd want to live in again. There isn't even one on the list that I'd want to live in. Abou the only cities I would move to are:
1 St. Augustine, Fl.
2 W.P. Beach, Fl.
3 Charleston, SC There are much better choices on that list than West Palm Beach. And that's from someone who is from WPB. Yes, it's not great, but it's warm in the winter. I lived there for quite a few years.
Never appeal to a mans "better side", he may not have one.

Out of that list I would have to choose Alb. NM. It could live real small without a whole lot of effort, although I really don't like the place, far to big for me.

Anchorage, AK
Seattle, WA
Corpus Christi, TX
Those in that order.

That's ok, I'll ass shoot a dink.
