best city to live in the us?

i have only lived in boston so I can't really say. Looking for opinions on friendly placest to live..citys that are popular but safe and recreational?

 

Miami. :love:

 

miami sounds cool but I've heard its violent. is that true?

 

every city has violence. every city is also generally safe as long as you stay out of the violent areas.

 

My favourite big cities are San Diego, Portland, Austin , San Francisco. All these places are in excellent locations and have some funky vibe to them.

 

My advice is to not live in a city

 

san diego, san francisco, los angeles are all cool from my experience

 

I don't know, but I can sure tell you the worst city.

 

go for it. i can think of several potential contenders, but i'm curious what you have in mind.

 

If I had to pick a city I would say Portland, Oregon

 

isnt that the mecca for hipsters?

 

pretty much

I'd love to have a place in San Francisco

 

Im thinking of getting a place in the castro district. you in?

 

It is also a mecca for great scenery (Columbia Gorge is awesome!), great parks and good food. Also, people there are nice which is more than I can say for most places.

 

I miss Minneapolis but I hear it has gotten worse since I lived there.

 

I lived in Ithaca NY for 20 years before moving here. I loved Ithaca and would move back in a flash if I had the opportunity. I would not like to live in any big city though as I prefer more rural settings.

 

I do not live in United States, but if I could, I would choose Salt Lake City!

It looks so beautiful!

 

i will soon be moving from chicago, which is a great city, although violent, dirty, and over-populated. but if you're into the night life, chicago is for you, there's a ridiculous amount of people, and they're always looking to spice things up, somehow.

i've never lived anywhere else though, so i suppose we shall see!

 

Salt lake city is pretty nice. If you like tall white mormons its the place to be. Also a lot of weird straight edge kids there

 

good city to live in is a self contradiction.

if you have a source of income you don't have to be a slave to, transportation is the only thing, other then that, one place is as good or bad as another.

if you can have a vehicule that can tollerate imperfect roads without have to be a slave to it, then there's no good reason to go anywhere near any city, other then maybe take in a day of shopping, or eating, or college libraries, and for that leave the car at home and ride in on the train.

i live in a town that's just big enough to have a decent bus system, because i'd rather have what it takes to keep a car running, to spend on computers and model trains.
