Where you live.

Howdy All,
What appeals to you about where you live. Is it something like the view, the quite, your job, the night life?¿ Is it more than one thing?¿ Or does it just plane ol stinks and you are there because you have a job and you are just living?¿

The space. I have plenty of space for everything. However, the area I live in, there are alot of harley/motorcycles, rice rocket with big mufflers, and a friend with an alcohol powered sprint car. We do have a pretty view if you look out the windows on the back and side. We have a creek on our property, and a greenbelt behind the fence. It has a bunch of trees though so no one can look directly into my house. How bout you?

I'm up on an 1800 ft. high ridgeline less than ½ mile from a mountain range in the Sonoran desert. The front of my house looks down at roughly 100 houses scattered across the area, and the back features a 25' wide x 10' high window in the living room that faces the McDowell mountains. Needless to say, views are breathtaking from every vantage point in the home. Lots of wildlife also, and I don't mean down the street or a few blocks away. Coyotes, peccaries, bobcats, jackrabbits, packrats, hawks, ravens, vultures -- they're everywhere -- gotta love it.

You gotta love it where I live. Rolling hills, running creek about 100 yds from my house, and out in the middle of the sticks. At least in the morning I can be a man and take a pee off of my back porch without some screwball calling the cops. I don't have to listen to punk kids with ricers screaming past my house all hours of the night either.

I'm in south Florida....hoping to move asap!!!!
Can't swim in a lake. Alligators
No mountains. except the Sample Rd. landfill
Can't sit on the grass.......FireAnts OWWWWWWWW!
(Actually there is no real grass...it's what is known as crabgrass is the rest of the world!)
There is no culture....(except for the Taxidermy museum)
There are beautiful women, and beaches everywhere...so that is good...
but you can't go on the beach at night, can't swim at night, (always did that in the summer in NYC)....
Always said "...If the sprinkler systems turned off here for 2 weeks , this would turn into the dessert it deserves to be!"...........

Next stop......Amsterdam; NYC; Seattle; Vancouver; or mountains of NY state.....

Hurricanes aside,I love the weather here more than anything. You can't beat it between October and April. Especially December thru Feb.

The people are OK for the most part, although there are *******s everywhere you go.

The beaches...I don't worry about sharks, lifes too short.

The women, the women, oh...did I mention the women?

I have the keys 40 minutes from my house so all is well.

However, if I could make the same amount of $$$ someplace else, I wouldn't mind trying it out.

No cold weather though!

Came to Denver for graduate school. Stayed because I liked it. Some of the best canoeing in the world. Great cross-country skiing in the mountains, but the winters are pretty mild in Denver.
We live downtown so can walk to cinema, restaurants, shopping. I couldn't stand living in the suburbs where I had to drive to everything.
The biggest drawback is that we're a long way from the ocean.
