Maybe not the answer you were looking for, but I felt like sharing. I am in a stage of life I want to live wherever I find stability, it can be anywhere.

I’ve moved a lot searching for a better place and always found both happiness and misery in those four countries. There are problems everywhere and choosing those I actually care about makes my daily life a bit more meaningful.

I want to live like on the edge of a city. Like right out side the tall buildings, small single-family homes, in a very diverse and welcoming society without bigotry.

I’m Chinese-American, PRC is too authoritarian, USA is declining into fascism, Europe doesn’t seem to be too immigrant friendly. I don’t fucking know, this world is bullshit. I want to live in an alt-universe where republican party collapsed and we have a Progressive Party of America, and the Democratic Party, with every declining membership and support. President Sanders… etc, etc…

I want to live here in the US in Florida, but in the timeline where Al Gore actually got all the votes counted and won. We are in “uptown” of a mid size city and it’s awesome, I don’t like living in the country but having a yard and garden is nice, and I don’t need to drive much as we are close to many amenities.

City would be my second choice, I do enjoy living in a city, walking to bar or grocery, everything right there and so much to do.

The Shire

Ireland sounds nice

A nice little cabin in the woods and by a lake.

Far enough from the nearest town that I don’t have neighbors, but close enough that I can reasonably make a grocery run each week.

Converted croft on a remote Scottish island with horizon all round, facing west so I can watch the sun go down.

Toronto right downtown. I like the city, I like transit, I like having four seasons, I like having underground walkways, I like doggies on transit.

A stable country with solid social safety nets where the people I love are not considered criminals simply for existing would be ideal.

Beyond those requirements, I could live in a cabin in the woods, a trailer in a park, a mansion in the countryside or an apartment in the city. It wouldn’t matter as much.

I lived in Suburbia as a child. Happiness is a thin veneer over the contempt the majority of neighbors feel for each other.

I lived in rural towns for much of my young adult life. Monopolized utilities and services, as well as the issue of small-town indoctrination, were reliably present.

I currently live in a metro. The rampant corruption and vehicle-oriented culture are noxious.

I guess I want to live in outer space. It’s pretty quiet up there and I’d imagine it doesn’t really smell all that bad.

I want to live in an area that has a great music scene. It has to be clean and pleasant with plenty of community engagement and friendly people. I have to be able to afford a home, food, healthcare, and some things that I and the family just want. I don’t want to be scared for myself or my transgender kids, or my wife. I don’t want to be scared of the government or the people who wanted this version of it.

Basically, I want to live in United States that was promised to me when I was a kid. No matter where it is.

EDIT: Or Cicely, AK.

I want to either live in the city. Walking to everything, choices for stuff to do, people…

Or

Be in a cabin near a small in the middle of nowhere. With Internet though :p

I want to live on a sailboat and be nomadic.

Always the city. I would like to remove Buffalo from the US and transplant just over the border to Canada and move there. It’s such a cool city.

I’m thinking of moving to Mongolia one day. Vast open spaces and a bitter cold winter. It’s nice to be forgotten by the world.
