And only Ganzo was well rounded enough to mention cities not in North America Americans suck and Canadians are whiny fucks. First chance I get I am off this damn continent. The only thing keeping me here is my kids and my grandmother, but as soon as the kids are somewhat grown (or at least old enough to fly internationally alone) I am going on world tour and I havent any plans of ever coming back Altho I will probably keep my American citizenship
New Orleans
Athens Greece
Sydney Austrailia
Amsterdam Holland
Florence Italy
London England
Thailand (I cant remember the name of the city I was researching a while back, but not Bangkok o.0)
Tokyo Japan
The object of life is not to arrive safely at the grave in a well preserved body, but rather to come screaching in to the grave sidelong in a beatup wreck of a body, loudly proclaiming "WOW What a ride!"

Ganzo lives in Detroit. He can be forgiven for not having a good opinion of US cities as he lives in the bottom of the barrel.
Your list is interesting in it has some of the nastiest shithole places in the fucking universe.
Nobody in their right mind who's been to Athens, Amsterdam, Florence, New Orleans pre hot tub, or 99% of Thailand would want to live there. I've been to all those places, and even my dirtbag womanizing ralf life friends wouldn't live in any of them.
Those places may seem cosmopolitan, but when you actually visit them you'll be surprised how nasty they are, and not at all good to live in.
Visit yes. Live, no.

My top 2 were outside the US thanks. Have to say though that it would be really hard to give up US cities for some of the ones you have listed. Have you ever been to them?

Yeah because Kizzy is going to look for hot asian girls. :p There are plenty of those here in seattle too btw.
i didn't think upstate new york was very scenic compared to Vermont and Maine, but parts of southern pennsylvania are pretty nice.
Vancouver is also a lot nicer than Seattle due to the fact it has one of the best public transit systems of any city in the world, you can catch an elevated train anywhere in the city and then use the same ticket you got for the train to catch a bus connection to your destination for like maybe 4 dollars total. In contrast, Seattle has some of the worst traffic of any city in North America and a laughable public transit system.
Minneapolis metro public transit is shit. They have 1 light rail route from the airport to downtown... for 3+ million people. LAME. The bus system is decent but we really need more light rail.

Yep Yep not to mention it was recently the worst city on a 'how much you will make' / 'how much you will spend'
Housing is overpriced for anything semi decent here.
I think the problem with the public transit system is it was pretty good in the early 90's and when the town exploded in the amount of people here, they never upgraded it much.
