@gurlwatcher22 party pooper!

I like Santa Monica and Atascadero. And my grandparents lived on Clearlake. @Ashly

@Ashly I was in Redding for four months at the end of 2013, I was on a trim crew for a Prop215 collective.

@Hanginginthere But if you do go to Eureka, stay as far away from Murder Mountain in Humbolt county as far away as you can. cc: @Ashley

@Baremine that was the whole point of asking the question, it's a difficult choice.

@jackson55
Indeed! I grew up there and there are far few wackadoodles than in SF and LA areas.

@SlaveEt True, but the state is run by crazy people. I’m a 4 th generation Californian. Hated to leave, but couldn’t put up with it any more.

@jackson55
3rd gen for me and yep, I escaped too.

@Neman1622 that was the point of the question, it’s supposed to be a hard choice.

@Hanginginthere if you can stay in MA, I would!

@Neman1622 -_-

@Longpatrol hmm

@Hanginginthere there you go, a 12k savings

@Howudoin 😂 idk about savings because I’m still jobless but yeah

@Hanginginthere well there is that, which totally sucks

@Gingerbreadspice I don't know what summers are like in the UK, but unless you like triple digits, I'd strongly recommend you look a little further north.

@LordShadowfire Winter on average little bit colder here in UK but similar temperature in summer. It’s only a few degrees warmer in San Francisco than London right now.

@Gingerbreadspice San Francisco? they're the bottom barrel of CA..

@Colonelmustardseed fair enough it is a hard choice 👀

@Colonelmustardseed in reality, it's colder in winter in Illinois than the NE. I've lived in both, the Midwest cold is brutal

@Muthafukajones love this song!

@Hanginginthere My friend has it as his ring tone when his mother calls… I think that’s sick!

@Muthafukajones yeeee boiiii 213 sleep wit one eye open cuhh death row up in this mf

@Iwillwait even that is high, yes I’m cheap 😂 I hate spending money

@Hanginginthere I am sorry,ARCO is at $4.00, Sam's $3.98, not too shabby.

@Iwillwait gas here in MA is $2.90 but I know it won't stay that low for long

@Spoiledbrat then you have more living to do, don't you

@Howudoin Looks like it.

@AthrillatheHunt even with all the shit that’s going on?

@Hanginginthere I live in Nassau county Long Island . One of Americas money counties . Whatever shit you’re talking about it ain’t happening here . lol (but I’m currently in Mexico now anyway).

@AthrillatheHunt 😂 ohhh

@Patriot96 neither isn’t an option.

@SW-User I’ve never been to any part of NY

@Hanginginthere Parts of upstate are beautiful

@smileylovesgaming 🤦🏾‍♂️😒 that isn’t an option, you’re lame.

@Hanginginthere It definitely can be. One thing, though, because the cost of living is so high the salaries are a bit higher. But the expense is the only thing I’d change.

@bijouxbroussard aren’t you afraid of the earthquakes though?

@Jenny1234 In a lifetime of living here, I’ve experienced only one earthquake that caused damage: Loma Prieta, on Oct 17 1989. Occasionally there will be a jolt, but they’re generally light. Where my parents were born (New Orleans, Louisiana) there were frequent hurricanes, tornadoes and floods. They came just about every year, and clean up was always necessary. I’ve never experienced a hurricane or tornado in California, and where I live it doesn’t flood.

@2ndtimeguy you have to pick one don’t be a party pooper

@TryingtoLava I’m curious are you black?

@Hanginginthere what are you implying? No im 3rd generation czechoslovakian born in a house fulla all types of music and my dad played lota west coast cuz i live in cali and i can type however i want thank you very much

@TryingtoLava it’s simply a question 🤷🏾‍♂️

@Jenny1234 not an option.

@lumberjackslam have you lived on the east coast yet? It's the far better coast!

@Howudoin No, I might like NYC... but not in terms of expenses

@lumberjackslam what you would really like is North Carolina. It has the warm weather, the beaches, the mountains, and everything in between. And the beaches are better than Cali, I've been to both.

@basilfawlty89 That's what I picked, too. It's more seasonal, and you don't have to live in NYC proper if you don't feel masochistic, lol.

@DDonde so you have to have work that compensates for that

@Howudoin I'm just saying compared with the two other options, I'd rather live in NY all things being equal. I don't have plans to move there right now.

@DDonde ah, ok, I get what you're saying. I've lived all over. I detest the Midwest, but the cost of living there is significantly lower than the coasts, especially the west coast.

@BlueGreenGrey why am I not suprised to see IL at the bottom

@Hanginginthere I prefer the coasts, and while the Great Lakes could be interesting, I think the winters would be even worse than parts of NY

I mean Chicago might be interesting in summer but I don't want to be there in winter .... and the rest of IL just seems like the bland midwest ... I'd rather be in the Hudson Valley or ideally NorCal ... the west side of the coast ranges in NorCal is almost an ideal, year-round, if chilly climate to me

I mean I'd probably prefer to be in rural, bland, isolated IL than to be in the same in, say, Iowa, surrounded by MAGA people

@NinaTina that isn’t an option.

@NativePortlander1970 southern Illinois? Have you been there? It may as well be Arkansas

@Howudoin At least it's not Chicago

@NativePortlander1970 Chicago is a hell hole, just stay in the western burbs
