Beacon, NY if you can deal with being pretty limited without a car and able to work not far from main street. Hudson, NY has a bit of an urban artist up and coming gentrification going on so I hear. Rochester is randomly on my list. Has a bit of an urban center and I hear the surrounding area is decent biking.
Friend just went to Dallas and somewhere else there, said it was nice. City but not too crowded. Stuff may be a bit spread out in Texas though. Plenty other cities... Demoines and Cleveland for some oddball ones.
Nothing mysterious. I posted my location over 10 minutes ago. I don't see what that has to do with my question.
Some of these responses are very obvious.
Although Austin is the place in Texas I could never see myself there. And the heat, the hell with that. Cleveland to much snow.
The place that has the most appeal but it's to expensive is either Northern California, or somewhere in the Pacific North West.
My longtime neighbor moved to Whidbey Island two years ago. Her longtime boyfriend has a house there. He is ex Navy, and there is a big base there.
My Father use to go to Seattle for business frequently.
I think most people would never give up a great location they know about. That would ruin it.
