    OT- Where in the USA Would You Live?

    I haven't seen an off-topic area of this forum, so feel free to move this post if necessary...

    Let's say you go on a game show and you have the opportunity to win up to five homes that will be built for you. All homes will be equally nice, say, about $250K by Indiana standards. There is a 90% chance you'll win at least 1 home, a 70% chance you'll win two homes, a 50% chance you'll win three, a 30% chance for four, and a 10% chance you'll win all five homes.

    Regardless of how many homes you win, the condition is that all of them must be built in different US states. Before the show you are required to give a list of your 5 states, in order of preference. Again, you may win 1 home, you may win 4 or 5, so the order of priority is important. If you win 2 homes, for example, they will be built in the states that are 1 and 2 on your list. You can choose at a later time where in each state you want your houses to be built.

    What would your state list be and WHY? Give some reasons for at least a couple of the states you choose.

    1. Lexington, KY (where I live right now)
    2. New York (for resale value)
    3. California (for resale value)
    4. Florida (for rental income)
    5. Colorado (vacation home)
    This space for rent.

        Resale value? No!!!

        Where would you want to LIVE? Think vacation/getaway homes.

            1 Hawaii - Paradise
            2 Florida - Where I live now. Warm in winter, no state taxes, and it's where Geezer would like to live. (Giggle, giggle, snort)
            3 California - Son lives there
            4 Texas - Warmer than Indiana, no state taxes
            5 Indiana - Relatives live there.

                  1. Southern California - Great weather, lots to do.
                  2. Arizona - Hot weather, but winters are nice and plenty of outdoors activities.
                  3. Colorado - Change of pace from the other two; plenty of snow activities and beauty.
                  4. Hawaii - Paradise.
                  5. Indiana - It's home.

                      San Francisco or San Diego. I'm in Sacramento now so I'm close to the Bay at least. I love going there though. Its a fantastic city. As is San Diego. Perfect weather year round is quite nice too.

                          1. Indiana - Home, family is here
                          2. Upper penninsula of Michigan - slow pace of life, awesome winters for snowmobiling
                          3. Southern Utah - Fantastic natural scenery and friendly people
                          4. Southern Illinois, specifically farm country just northeast of St. Louis - people who are so nice that it is almost like the Twilight Zone
                          5. Florida - specifically SW. Lots of economic potential going forward, a melting pot of people and ideas, spent half of my childhood in Cape Coral and still have friends there

                            1.) Big Sur, CA
                            2.) Miami, FL

                            The other three wherever, I'd just sell them and use the money to buy a nice little townhouse in Paris.

                              Be careful what you wish for. I was living in Cleveland and thought the same thing. Then they sent me to Toledo...
