Vancouver BC, Seattle, and Salt Lake all immediately come to mind because of- proximity to good skiing, cool stuff going on off hill, and pretty scenics from anywhere in the city.
Seattle is freaking expensive, Salt Lake is smoggy, and living full time in Vancouver BC might be a little challenging visa-wise. But all three are better than Vancouver, WA."You look like you just got schnitzled..."

Amsterdam.
Fighting leads to killing, and killing gets to warring. And that was damn near the death of us all.

errrr.... NY?
(unless you can't handle it!)
Although, I guess we all need to know what your criteria is... surely if skiing proximity is major criteria, Seattle or San Francisco trump NY and Boston. But for all other reasons?

Beijing.
Live like a king in an up and coming economy. Food from around the world. A fair number of odd people escaping past lives from all around the world. Pollution and constant construction, lack of rights, etc could wear on you though.
The only place I've been that I felt like I could live in for a year or more.
Or Van, BC for all the reasons listed."These are crazy times Mr Hatter, crazy times. Crazy like Buddha! Muwahaha!"

Denver, since I already live in the Metro area. SLC next, because of the best skiing. Seattle or Portland after that, cause the Northwest kicks ass.
I would slit my wrists if I had to live in NYC again.

Vancouver, BC or Denver in North America
Hadn't thought too much about leaving North America, but I suppose there are other places where I could enjoy myself.
My two qualifications for a place are proximity to skiing and Ultimate Frisbee.It's not tragic to die doing what you love.

Vancouver, BC: duh. Visa issues of course.
Seattle, WA: The solution. Perhaps expensive and has traffic issues. Not light in the winter but whatever.
Denver, CO: So very dry and spread out. Reasonably cool other than that.
San Fran: Also cool, but impossibly expensive, insane commutes, and too far from skiing.

Denver if i only had one place.
NYC if I had a place in CO that I could fly to and spend alot of time. NYC is just the shit. Once you know your way around and stuff it rules.

Agreed on Vancouver. Seattle or San Francisco would be great if the traffic wasn't so narsty, therefore Portland? Of course, it's much tougher to find a job in Portland than in the bigger places.

I'm looking for a place where I've got skiing and surfing on my doorstep and having lived here for 10 years I can tell you all, it's not London.

Vienna Austria - love the place, great architecture and art, very cool vibe, close to the Alps
somewhere in Tuscany (Italy of course) - I love Italy as a whole but Tuscany is amazing and it's in the middle so you can access Rome, or go north for the goodness of Venice + skiing further north
Vancouver - all reasons people mentioned plus great universities and canadians are just nicer people, I know because I am one
Seattle - really like this city but the rain might be rough to deal with
San Fran - my favorite american city
Overall I would say somewhere in Europe above anywhere in N. America. The lifestyle, cities and people trump most anything in the US.Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, martini in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!"

NYC
If you are going to live in a city, don't go to a second rate one.I'm just a simple girl trying to make my way in the universe...
I come up hard, baby but now I'm cool I didn't make it, sugar playin' by the rules
If you know your history, then you would know where you coming from, then you wouldn't have to ask me, who the heck do I think I am.

Amazing how weather and traffic so often count against Seattle yet never get a mention for Vancouver. When the former is the same as and the later far worse (IMHO)
The Canadiards must have some really good P.R. people working for them.
Vancouver BC would be my second choice and I almost ended up there many years before eventually moving to Seattle.Last edited by PNWbrit; 03-14-2007 at 01:40 PM.
