Based on a combination of my nostalgia, climate, and current conditions… this is the order I’d live in them, again.
- Carlsbad, CA
- Climate, Beaches, Hills, Open Space, Bike Trails, Well Governed, Well Educated and Chill Residents
- San Francisco, CA
- Amazing, Despite the Governance Flaws
- Helena, MT
- Nostalgia
- Melbourne, Australia
- Multi-ethnic Women with Amazing Australian Accents, Never Boring
- Newport Beach, CA
- The Beaches
- San Marcos, CA
- Baja Carlsbad
- San Bernardino, CA
- Great Hang Gliding. If you don’t hang glide, probably not best.
- Mendoza, Argentina
- Steak and Women to make your liver quiver.
- Davis, CA
- Nice Little Town. So PC.
- St. Andrews, Australia
- A Little Rural, Pretty
- St. Petersburg, Russia
- Most Beautifully Designed City
- Huntington Beach, CA
- Geography A, Governance F, Population D-
- Fresno, CA
- Would Be Higher 40 Years Ago. Now it’s all meth and madness.
- Pensacola, FL
- Nice Beaches. A Navy rite of passage. Humid.
- Milton, FL
- A Getaway. Friends retired there and I get that. Humid.
- Virginia Beach, VA
- Kind of fun. But humid and no waves.
- Temecula, CA
- Horrible Commutes, Hot
- Irvine, CA
- People’s Republic Of Irvine. Corrupt Government & the Irvine Co. makes every other city in OC preferable, unless you love Mello Roos, strip malls, and stop lights.

- Most Overrated Place on Earth, IMHO
