What do you expect from an area where the bumper stickers say,
ReplyDeleteKEEP AUSTIN WEIRD!

And now congress wants to give everyone, no matter what your income, no matter whether you're a first time buyer or not, $15k to buy real estate.

ABQ? Has anyone ever BEEN to ABQ? I've travelled there quite a bit for work, and I would definitely put it on the BOTTOM of the list of places I'd like to live. What a depression, dirty, dusty place to live...
ReplyDeleteAustin and Durham are the only places w/ any jobs. Of course those jobs are unproductive, government funded, high paying jobs that shouldn't really exist.
ReplyDeleteThe rest of those places are retirement communities.
what about phoenix?Az is a great state.Watch out for all who drive without insurance.
ReplyDeleteKeith you've obviously not been to most of these places. Durham NC for example does not have a significant mosquito problem. Gang activity, yes. But not skeeters.
ReplyDeleteFYI- Upper St. Clair is a upper middle class suburb of Pittsburgh

ReplyDeletewhere you'd love to live.
I live in Albuquerque. It is a good place to be most of the time. No drunken Indians. Not sure why you would say that. Other parts of the state do have high DUIs. Generaly, the Native Americans are kicking ass with the casinos.
ReplyDeleteDMP
Drunk Indians is not the problem in Albuquerque. With 44% Whites and 44% Spanish population, one of the lowest education levels and highest crime rates, this dump is becoming East LA revisited.
ReplyDeleteIf this is the top spot in the US, then we really are screwed.
Beautiful zoo though. Maybe I could talk them into letting me live in a cage there, to protect me from all the human animals.
Spent, America after consumerism.

Honolulu, Hawaii. Need I say more?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blue skies, abundant sunshine, perfect beaches, friendly people, etc....
But then again, I am a Chicagoan and our weather here sucks.

ReplyDeleteLadies and Genitalman; May I present the next President of America: (makes you want to)Pierce Bush.
If you missed him with Campbell Brown, you ain't livin'.
Upper Saint Clair is a suburb of Pittsburh. Oakmont which is on the other side of Pittsburg is also very nice. Small town feel, close to everything, relatively safe. The famous colf course Oakmont Country Club is in this town.
ReplyDeleteLast time I was in Albuquerque honest to god I saw drunk indians passed out in the street - down in the old town.
ReplyDeleteLast time I was in LA a bum flipped a booger at my car window
Last time I was in NC on a humid summer day mosquitos everywhere
Last time I was in Wisconsin I wondered what people did there
Last time i was in St. Petersburg I thought they should film a movie - land of the old people
Last time I was in Boise I fell in love (with the town)
To each his own
Not a very good top 10 list. Here's 10 for starters (in the US)
Boise
Boulder
Ann Arbor
Portland
Prescott
Ft. Collins
Seattle
Santa Barbara
Iowa City
Boston
In Europe:
Split
Varna
Paris
Stockholm
Budapest
Rome
Amsterdam
Florence (winter only)
Bordeaux
Kiev
I hear the indian casinos are booming.People are depressed and gambleing more than ever.Maybe we should just keep building casinos so the state of california can make some more money and balance the budget.Arizona has been taken over by indian casinos.If you are smart stay home and take some prozac and save a few bucks.
ReplyDeleteBoise+ Pure shitbowl
ReplyDeleteIowa City, Iowa?

ReplyDeleteActually Iowa has high-speed fiber all over the place. I was in the middle of nowhere picking up an antique tractor and the guy had fiber. To his house.
I see a lot of posts in this thread that stereotype people or places. It's sad, really. I can really see why people think the world is going to hell. Wherever you go there you are. And you are miserable.
Yea, heard it all before - Albuquerque - the place where you can get a new or slightly-new single family house built right smack dab on an arroyo, I think that's what they call it. That's the "wash" where floods "used" to rush down but now the home builders have slapped housing tracts on them.
ReplyDeleteI was there 2 years ago and drove around that area. All, like ALLLL, the streets and driveways are cracked to sh*t. You can't pave over an arroyo. Arroyos rule.
Albuquerque? Where you can't buy wine on Sunday? Not me. Sunday is the most important wine BBQ of the week.
I lived in Upper Saint Clair for 6 years. It is an excellent place to raise children - safe, green, friendly and middle American. Glad to see it made the list.
ReplyDeleteI have lived all over the US(NYC, Tx, Boston, NJ, NH etc) and in Spain, France and the UK; Upper Saint Clair may not be as sophisticated as some places, but he quality of life is VG. You should visit a few of these places, before you shoot your mouth off.
I am always amazed at the BS crap Euros pick up from their media regarding life in the US. The misapprehensions can be ridiculous. Like the Spanish lady who, upon hearing my daughter was going to University in Canada, said, "good, she won't be shot" ---because, if you listen to Michael Moore , that's a big danger here in the US.
You are sooo guilty of Euro-type stereotyping. You need to come home.
