I like Göteborg.

I also like smaller towns.
Maybe Ill buy my own island in the Stockholm archipelago.

I like the town I live in. For the most part, it\'s peaceful and calm. But the politicians are assholes.

No kidding. That was insane. I looked outside right after the D-Backs lost and I couldn\'t see 15 feet. It was eerie, just enough light to see whats happening. The side of my house that the wind was blowing towards had dust all over it, shingles fell off my roof, we had this big shelf type thing on my back porch and that got blown into the yard, along with everything on it. My neighbors had a block fence, some of that got blown down. That had to be the worst dust storm I\'ve ever seen here.

Do you live in the valley area? We had much more than just dust. Extremely heavy rain, raging winds, trees falling into houses, powerlines doing a domino effect. The apartment complex next to ours burst into flames. It was scary, the police and fire departments running around our buildings. I stayed outside with my friends in the extreme downpour and just watched the building burn down. At one point the roof collapsed and we were met with a huge burst of heat to the face. When the smoke got thick the firemen made us go inside. I got sick from smoke inhalation. :crap:

The scariest part was when they told us to be ready to evacuate, cuz it didn\'t look like the fire could be stopped. I was in major dispair thinking my home could be burnt to a crisp with all of my belongings. Sigh...thankfully it didn\'t come to that. They eventually stopped the fire and the power came back on. This was about 12:10 am. Needless to say, I didn\'t sleep well last night. Did you get a chance to drive around town yet? Like a freaking tornado blew through.

I live in mountains and heavy woods. But through developing, the trees are being cut down.

Austin is a very nice city to move too.  Pospering very good and continuing.  Night life is great and is also the Live music capital of the world if your into that sort of thing. Issues you might have with it though are humidity around the summer months, horracious traffic and housing around there is sky high.  Austin is considered one of the top ten cities in America to live in or it was if it isnt anymore.  Im not trying to win your vote but just merely a suggestion, give it some consideration.

I live in Queen Creek, you probably don\'t know where that is, but it\'s about 45 minutes Southeast of Phoenix.

It\'s basically all desert the way the storm came from, so the dust storm was huge. It knocked down trees out here too. Today when i went to the mall there was a metal roof awning wrapped around a power poll. My pool is a mess, there is half an inch of dirt on the bottom. Then after the dust we got a pretty good downpour for about 10 minutes with thunder and lightning. Then after that it calmed down.

I saw pictures on the news of what happened in Phoenix. Roofs blown off, one of the runways at Sky Harbor had to be closed.

Chaos.

Who was the one that said San Fransico\'s weather was nice? From what I\'ve seen its nothing short of terrible.

Time for the general geography lesson for the day for Bozco.

In this world, there are many different climates, but the best climate in the world is in the San Francisco Bay Area and in the Mediterranean.  The climate I am referring to is called the Mediterranean climate and those two places are the only places in the world where it exists.  It basically means that the weather, ran or shine, generally hovers in the 60-70 degree range which is perfect because it resembles room temperature.  It may get foggy, we may get wind, we may get rain, we may get sun, but in almost all cases, the temperature stays fairly consistant and we don\'t get too much rain or too much sun.  It\'s just the right amount.

Which reminds me of something I have heard before.

"The coldest winter I have ever spent was the summer I spent in SanFransico."

Hmm, then you might have seen my place. We were on TV (well the fire was anyway). :cool:

Austin and surrounding areas are extremely nice. (Round Rock, Georgetown, Cedar Park)  The music scene is great and the culture is varied...lots to do.

Only downsides are the whether and traffic as PSX_J said...

Whether always seems like an extreme.  It\'s either too hot or too cold, too wet or too dry.  Traffic is just bad, I think Austin is ranked in the top 10 worst drivers in America.

Hooray Ryu, to bad I\'ve noticed the weather there rains far to much from what my cousin tells me.  And its colder than I would like at times during the summer.

Phoenix and Mesa (a big city linked to Phoenix) are like 1-2 in red light runners. Then I think we have the 4th highest too.


Go Valley of the Sun.

Personally, I would hate to be in a climate that hovers around the same temperature all year.  Here in upsate NY, we get some extremes.  We get some cold snowy winters, and it gets pretty hot during the summer, but I love it like that.  I would hate to not have the heat of the summer, and I would hate to not have the snow of the winter.  The seasons seem to all come out in NY the way that they are meant to be.  Generally we get rainy springs, with mild temperatures, hot summers with things like thunderstorms, brisk falls, where you can see the beautiful leaves changing in the mountains over here, and cold snowy winters.  I wouldn\'t trade it for any other climate.

Boston is a wonderful city, historical too.  Low in crime.  Good for business too.
