If you could move anywhere in the US where would you live right now?

If money was no obstacle? Would split my time between Boston and Charleston.

Southwest resident here -- we have hardly any insects, and everywhere has spiders and snakes.

I couldn't imagine living in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan -- I've never seen so many huge bugs.

Have you been to NC? They are massive.

You should just go without him. Or just return to DC for the winter. That’s what I plan to do when I retire (not to the Cape, but my DH will never leave DC and I want to leave ASAP).

Albuquerque, NM (nature, sunsets, weather, great people)

Unless both of your husbands are movers/shakers in this town, why do they want to stay?

I understand those who are super highly connected and “in the game” so-to-speak.

Somewhere just outside Burlington Vt, so I have some land to have a huge garden, animals etc. but can access all the things Burlington has to offer.

That area is lovely. Be warned - drugs are a part of life around there.

About 20 years ago, I was in a KFC in South Troy, and the woman in line directly in front of me cut the cheese. After doing so, she said “Ooh! Keisha a little gassy today!”

Crossing Troy off the list.

Omg this is hilarious 🤣

LONG BEACH?? Are you out of your ever living mind? I live in the LA area and let me tell you, LB is a place you move out of and not into.

It's the only beach area in California where I can still afford to live within 6 blocks from the beach. Grew up there and I consider it to be beautiful. Way less pretense than any of the other beach enclaves in Southern California. Way less traffic, sprawl, and crowds than the west side of LA. Plus, its one of the only beaches in urban California where you are allowed to launch a kiteboard from shore. Also one of a very few full-time legal dog beaches in the state. The city also owns the port and the oil islands off the shore, thereby giving LB immense spending power.

But please, stay away from LB and tell everyone it is horrible.

Well geez you have low bar indeed. But all good!

I know. I used to live in New England and visit a lot -- sadly every part of NE has been affected, from the Cape to the Berkshires.

It still has much less crime than the DMV.

One of the PPs and my DH is absolutely not a mover and shaker and we could move somewhere else. He likes it here and just won’t. Since he doesn’t care that I am so unhappy here I will just leave when my kid is in college.

Summers in the Berkshires, Fall/Winter NYC, and Spring at a nice beach would be my ideal.

Ithaca, that's an interesting call. I love Ithaca and it's beautiful in the summers. But spending winter there is a hard pass for me. It looks like you appreciate wintery spots, though, so it might be right for you!

Moved to park city from Bethesda 3 years ago- we loved Bethesda, but love Park City, too- great move for us!

I'm in park city too! Lived in arlington for a while then nyc. The weather in park city is perfect today!

you must be really pleasant to be around. Just because you don't like it doesn't make it a s-hole.

Is nice about eight weeks a year and brutal the rest of the time.

Disagree. It is perfect about 12 weeks a year (july-sept). Seasonally cool another 16 (May/June/October/November). The holidays are their own thing (Dec). Jan/Feb/Mar/Apr are hard but with a good vacay in there its fine, and you just have to embrace a winter activity (we ski) and get appropriate cold weather gear.
