It’s freaking cold in Denmark. When I grow up I want to either live in the states, Egypt, Spain or Italy. Because I wanna be a business woman and I just love how beautiful Egypt is.

Where I want to live overlooks Loch Ness, where I currently live is at least a 9 hour drive to Loch Ness!

I love the area I am living in. The only thing I would like to be different is to be in a house rather than an apartment.

We don’t have mountains or deer. I crave both and had them in Arkansas! Right in the yard. Plus, Arkansas has one day of snow each winter, maybe two. So perfect.
Here it’s semi-tropical. ugh.

Where I live now is a heck of lot hotter and more humid than anywhere I’d like to live. But that’s probably the only real negative I can assign to it.

jonsblond's avatar

Not much. I’d prefer more trees, a view of a northwoods lake and a little bit more snow in the winter. Other than that, I’m happy.

@Aster Where are you now?

It is flat as a pancake where I live now and where I will be living in 15 years will have lush mountainsides, crystal clear rivers and lakes out my window.

I really enjoy living where I’m now. I live in a great neighborhood and have some very caring and friendly neighbors!

Where I live now has a fairly cheap cost-of-living, but it is oh so hot and humid in the summer months. Tornadoes are common in the spring and fall, and there is the lurking threat of a potential earthquake. The crime rate puts the city in the Top 5 worst in the US annually.

Where I want to live is in a small town in England. It isn’t the prettiest, but it has its charm. The house sits on top of a hill with a charming garden in the back. From the bedroom window, I can see a field of sheep grazing, and a pub with a truly British name is directly across the street. The best feature is the wonderful man who lives in it and wants to marry me.

I am content living where i live. after all, i just paid my mortage in full and too old to move anywhere else.

My wife loves Italy and is constantly trying to convince me to move there.

Where I live now, I have to pay bills.

Where I want to live? No bills.

@Pied_Pfeffer I didn’t know Memphis, TN was so high on crime

Pied_Pfeffer's avatar

Yup. According to this chart, if you sort by Total Violent Crime, Memphis ranks #3 in 2009.

@Pied_Pfeffer Which town in England do you want to live in?

Pied_Pfeffer's avatar

@Leanne1986 It’s a small town north of Manchester.

Nothing. Here’s our definition of a traffic jam (and to make it better, the driver is a friend from up the road)THis

Last week-end

It’s minus3C (26F) here with dark gloomy skies and snow on the ground- makes me want to curl up in bed. Some seasons would be nice, we only get winter, spring with snow, summer, and fall with snow.

For me… about 135 years or so.

I was definitely born in the wrong century. Alas, I still remain unsure if I was born to early or too late.

I love it except that it is too dry and too cold. Yesterday it was about 40 with hurricane force winds (ok, just a tad below), but I almost started crying while biking to work, it was so painful. And its only October. :’(

@gailcalled traffic jam? a beautiful photo of you holding your cat? I dont get it but I wish I had that backyard.

Bureaucracy stifles culture and creates great inconvenience.

The weather is shit.

The city isn’t exactly teeming with people willing to lend me a motorbike for $4 per day.

The common man never benefits from the corruption.

Almost everything I buy costs me between 10 and 100 times the cost of manufacture.

I spend about twice as much on rent as on food, rather than vice-versa.

I love the city where I live, but I would love to have a really big, trendy apartment right in the city centre.

bobbinhood's avatar

About 2,000 miles.

gailcalled's avatar

Here is the usual traffic in the center of town: http://tinyurl.com/2d44cx2

Another typical scene (the dog belongs to my neighbor);

And since I have 20 acres of wooded land, that is not a back yard but the area around the front of the house.

I now live in Northern California, in a big 4 bedroom house with a court yard entry in front, a giant yard with a picket fence all around and a pool in the back yard, with two patios and fruit trees across the back, and an orange tree on the side.

Where I want to live is on the Beach in Southern California. If we sold our house here, we could afford to buy a tiny one bedroom condo a block or two from the beach.

BoBo1946's avatar

Wow @YARNLADY…that is amazing!
