Notes -
If you could choose anywhere in the US to settle down, where would it be and why (ignoring job/family ties for present purposes)? I'm thinking of making a move and have a preference for proximity to major urban centers and despise humid weather. Unfortunately, (maybe I've spent too much time online) recent news on crime and the like has got me feeling rather bearish on the futures of NYC, LA, Chicago, and SF.
Month by month these are probably my favorite places:
December to February in Key West for the weather and diving.
March to June in NYC.
July to Labor Day in Vermont, New Hampshire or somewhere else mountainous in New England, for the hiking and some riding. Love Bretton Woods / Mount Washington especially with family.
September to October in NYC. Probably the best time of year in the city.
November in Los Angeles. LA is the epitome of a certain imagination of America, and I kind of love it, although never for more than a few weeks at once.
Hard to do with kids though, so if I had them I’d probably live in an affluent town somewhere in California an hour or two outside either SF or LA (Easy A always makes Ojai look good, but I’d probably pick somewhere in wine country). That or NYC.
