I’m a poc and I double starred:

Mountains, trees, air quality, jobs, schools, low climate risks.

I got a bunch of Pacific Northwest and Tahoe and a Boulder neighborhood

If I remove jobs as a consideration it turns into all Vermont and Maine with some upstate ny.

and got CA/WI/Minn. Abortion access for the latter two is rated as 0-3 but it states that a clinic is within 30 minutes-1hour thats not really awful access. I live in MD and had to go to VA to get one.


This is what I got too. I think it's the "low climate change." WI/MN will be pretty climate change proof for at least another generation or two, so that may have skewed our results.

I live in the DC area and love it, but want to live in Denver long term. I'm too calm for DC but probably too uptight for Denver...however, I would LOVE the outdoor culture.

I got pretty much all towns in Washington, starting with Seattle. Which is funny because I’ve spent a total of maybe 10 days in WA and loved it but have never considered living there.

Me too - Maine, VT, and upstate NY. Maine and VT were already on my list but I'm worried about real estate taxes in NY.

When I selected NE, Silver Spring (where I live) popped up in my top 10, and so did Plainsboro, NJ, where I randomly lived for 2 years.

The quiz says the same thing about DC, which is 95% Democratic. Makes me doubt the validity of the entire thing.

Only 4- DC, Boston, Jersey City and NYC.
Never checked out Jersey City- now I’m curious.

Ha, NYT is telling me NY, a thousand times NY. Camillus, Westmoreland, Bethlehem, Cicero, Onondaga, New Hartford, Marcy Henrietta, I can't get out of NY!

Just going to take a wild guess that your political views are left of center


DP, but I was surprised that all of the areas I got skew very Democrat. I didn't pick anything under politics, or anything that was overtly left (like trans rights or abortion rights). The filters I chose were more like: trees, schools, air quality, which I thought would have gotten me more top results outside of liberal areas.
