Whats the best place to live out of: Florida, Nevada, Oregon, and California?

Florida is great during the winter months but can be brutal in the summer with the heat and humidity. I can't speak for any of the other states.

One other thing you might want to consider is the state income tax which is on top of federal income tax if you're planning on working here. Florida and Nevada do not have this tax, but California and Oregon do. However, Oregon doesn't have a state sales tax on goods.

Thanks for your reply garovich , certainly state taxes is something I will have consider,as well as health Insurance. I heard there is no state tax in Nevada because of they revenue they get from gambling, which is useful! The humidity in the summer in Florida could be a problem .

I like Las Vegas. My complaint is the heat in the summer. But, the other 6 months, the weather is great.

Even in a bad economy, there's so much opportunity here. And if you're into IM, you aren't dependant on the local economy, so the finacial hard times are actually an asset to those of us that don't "work" here. Rent/housing prices are dropping, the casinos are dropping prices on food, etc. Plus, so many people come to LV that it's a great place to network.

Everything here is so new and modern. LV has the best shopping, golf, restaurants, etc.

But the thing I like most about LV is the 24 hour lifestyle. I don't go out much, but I am a night person. If I'm up at 3 am here, I can look out my window and see plenty of houses/apts with lights on. Other cities, everything goes dark at 10 PM. Here, I'm not a "freak". If you go get something to eat at a coffee shop at 3 am, it's fulll of "normal" people, not drunks and tweakers.

And talk about "buzz"...There's an excitement on the Strip you just won't find any where else...Drive 3/4 of a mile off the Strip, and you're in a town like any other major US city in the SW.

There's plenty of cheap flights to almost anywhere and it's only a 4 hour drive to LA if you want to go to the beach or enjoy S California.

Thanks for that detailed response kurt. Las Vegas is certainly a possibility. Living in London which is also a 24 hour city with plenty of buzz, but one I would suggest a bit more leery, with more drunks around and bit more danger at night than Las Vegas. After London I am a bit wary of moving to very staid, quiet city but want somewhere with some life and Vegas certainly has that.

Another attraction is the large amount of trade exhibitions held there because of the excellent facilities. It is a good business center.

It's interesting what you say about Southern California being a reasonable drive away, four hours is very appealing!

Because of the attractions Las Vegas is also a great place for family an friends to come and visit.The fact that internet marketing can be done from anywhere is something I want to take advantage of and that's why I'm thinking of moving. I know that, that well known blogger Steve Pavlina is also in Las Vegas and he loves it.

I have heard that Henderson which is a short distance from Las Vegas is also a great place to live.

Once again kurt thanks for taking the time to give me your very insightful comments.

all the best

I don't know where the best place to live OUT of is - but for my money Oregon is the best place out of that list to live IN. It has many different climates depending on your preferences - you can live in dry climates or in rainforest - mountains, beaches, flatland.
Jobs, of course, aren't any better off than anywhere else, but the people are pretty friendly and eco minded.
For me it's a terrific place because of the rock and gem hunting opportunities.

Like this is a contest. Florida.

No earthquakes, no taxes, you can get pretty much anywhere in the state within 6 hours, 3 sides of water, the keys, weather that has the women in bikinis most of the year i mean come on, do you need any more reason than that?

You do?

every major pro sports team that you could want, relatively cheap houses, depending on where you are at, outstanding hospitals

did i mention the bikinis?

bike week, daytona racetrack (nascar) so much history its ridiculous. natural springs you can swim in all year round. If you cant find it in miami, jacksonville. Excellent colleges and

did i mention the hot girls and bikinis?

Yeah, vegas has plenty of pretty girls. you can rent them by the hour.

and as a bonus..you're in the desert.

its not the mosquitoes you need to worry about...its the lizards.

Definately Florida. particularly on the west coast in the Tampa/St. Pete area.

The weather is awesome during the winter months.

I'm in Arizona, and it is sunny here!
To answer the question, I choose Nevada....
Aside from Arizona, Nevada is the second best place for me to live in.

I think it all depends on your personality. I used to live in the Bay Area and that's one of my favorite places in the world. It's great if you like not-too-hot-not-too-cold weather. It's perpetually spring there.

Oregon is good if you're more laid back and want a country lifestyle.

Love,
