Where are you living right now? Oregon?Mississippi, another one of my family's "Let's drive 3500 miles and move here" plans.
Denver and Boulder Colorado have great software development opportunities, is a hellova lot more affordable than either coast, and has great outdoor activities. The only issue is the rental market is very hot right now with a number of people moving here.do not trust

I was thinking US for starters, but I've been thinking for a while about moving to denmark, or sweden.in the us ?
That's a good point. Are you limiting yourself just to the USA? I just assumed that.
Citizenship in Sweden is no probs lolI was thinking US for starters, but I've been thinking for a while about moving to denmark, or sweden.in the us ?
That's a good point. Are you limiting yourself just to the USA? I just assumed that.
I'm just cautious about moving so far and learning the language and starting out, getting citizenship, etc... But it's still something I'm open to.
nowhere in canada dont look here
Not here.... Baldgye and firebrand can back me up we're full. But not Photeqk, he's a dirty liberal >:D

Vancouver is great, but expensive af. We do have amazing outdoors opportunities here, I would miss it too much if I left. :'( Probably too pricey and out of the way for you though AT.

I love Montreal, Toronto, and Vancouver. But if I had to pick just one, Montreal all the way.
France is a nice place to live in, various stuff to explore.
You have to deal with ****ty people ruling the country tho.
STRAYA. We don't have fast internet, but we got a diverse range of cultures with some pretty cool people. We need some more Geekhacking brethren. :D

I've spent quite a bit of time in Jersey (and the nice part near Princeton) and you couldn't pay me enough to live there.
The people, oooohhh the people.
Don't get me wrong there are quite a few good people there, but they're out numbered by "the rest."

Victoria is way nicer and a little more affordable than Vancouver.
[...] I'm looking to get into the technology field, software developer or something in that area. [...] Any thoughts on places that don't have insane costs of living but are nice places? I'm leaning towards the northeast as I haven't been there and it would be a breath of fresh air, per-say.What software skills do you have now? Do you have a CS or similar degree? If you have existing programming experience, many companies in the SF Bay Area are still on a hiring binge, and it’s by far the biggest market for programming jobs. Housing costs are ridiculous, but salaries for junior programmers are also often ridiculous by the standards of other parts of the country.
Once I finish high school and have saved up enoughI’d recommend either diving seriously into teaching yourself to code and working on your own projects, or going to college (or both). If you have neither experience nor a degree it could be hard to get your foot in the door.

I guess it kinda depends on what you want. I think its quite debatable. I have lived in both and prefer Vancouver a whole lot more! :)

I don't expect to land any jobs without any experience or degrees behind me.

I would move to Melbourne so ****ing fast if I knew I could find a job. I'll trade my fast internet for the chill vibes and good food.

Seattle, WA (expensive, gloomy, snobby, pretentious, white people liberal).
Northshore Chicago. Although expensive, and the northshore moms can be annoying. It's beautiful, though.
Good to see someone willing to move away from their original area. I have lots of friends who still reside in my home area and just refuse to try something different.I had neighbors who had never gone 30 miles from home, they were in their 70's.
I've lived in two counties, 8 states, and more than 20 cities. I've traveled through almost 40 states, some enough to know my way around pretty decent.
EVERY place has up sides and downs. Crowded/crime, lack of water, too much water, hurricanes, tornados, earthquakes. Other states, too much snow/ice or too freaking cold or worse... I can manage almost anywhere, I've done mountains, beach, deserts, plains, urban, suburb, rural, and honestly, the local population is the biggest thing that would keep me from living somewhere. Cost of living and crime sucks but both are manageable and tolerable, there are things to do everywhere if you are creative. What cannot be replaced or dealt with is the local people, there are sections of this country I hate to even travel through and no way would I live there. Some sections of this country have yet to evolve out of caveman status, granted some areas within them are tolerable, but that's only marginally better.Good to see someone willing to move away from their original area. I have lots of friends who still reside in my home area and just refuse to try something different.I had neighbors who had never gone 30 miles from home, they were in their 70's.
They had never been to a city with more than 50k people and avoided any with even 20k. I actually have quite a few customers like this, and it's evident within the first 5 minutes of meeting them that they have never left the area. These people have such a narrow view of the world, it's amazing.
New Jersey..Show Image(http://textemoticons.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/073.gif)
The bad rep, is actually just a joke.. everyone loves it here.. it's a great place to live..
Kinda like when people say yea, pizza is horrible, because it's obviously So super good.
THe truth is, how you live is more dependent on Income than "location". bceause even in a small state like New Jersey, there are lots and lots of variety of spaces.
If you go to the docks, it's a mess, durgs, gangs, $50 rents
If you go to say westfield, tiny house is 700k, great public school, clean quiet streets,
So.. yea.. that's my pitch for New Jersey.
Well, I'm coming to a point in my life where I have to actually make decisions on important aspects of my life, and I'll be moving out in a relatively short period of time, and I'm thinking to my self; Where in the hell do I want to live?
I dislike the south very much, I lived here for a large portion of my life and do not want to return, haven't been to the north east or much of the east cost, really.
I lived in Oregon for a while, but I'm wondering, what are some other nice places to live? I want to be somewhat close to a large city at the very least.
I'm looking to get into the technology field, software developer or something in that area.
I like the cold, so I have no problem with that, fine with rain, pretty much dandy with what most find depressing. :p
Any thoughts on places that don't have insane costs of living but are nice places? I'm leaning towards the northeast as I haven't been there and it would be a breath of fresh air, per-say.
Any thoughts or input to help out someone who is rather clueless? I just really want to try somewhere new
Once I finish high school and have saved up enough to able to afford a move and have some cash to fall back on, I'm moving.
I would move to Melbourne so ****ing fast if I knew I could find a job. I'll trade my fast internet for the chill vibes and good food.Dudeeeee, do it!! What industry do you work in?

With Florida you can mingle with tons of people from all areas of the globe. A lot of my roommates of the past were from true southern states and they love(d) it here. People seem to stare quite often. If you're OK with people staring, storms, and mosquitoes I suppose Florida is OK.

Pornos? What on earth are they saying about my state? :-X
Also, I've never caught people staring at me. I'm not sure what to say about storms. We are the sunshine state for a reason. :))
Mosquitoes aren't that bad unless you're out in the Everglades or by any other bodies of water. Worse comes to worst, mosquito repellent.
Depending on where you are you will have to worry about humidity. A lot of people can't tolerate that, or the heat during the summer. I like both these things.
Aerospace. I'm a manufacturing engineer. Used to be a mechanical design engineer.
Time for me to make a choice. Hijacking this thread a lil' bit, but I got accepted to the four colleges I applied to. I have 3 cities to choose from, London (where I am now), Toronto, or Ottawa. Anyone have some advice?
Why are you even considering denmark, silly? Do you want to live in a country full of danskjaveln? No.I was thinking US for starters, but I've been thinking for a while about moving to denmark, or sweden.in the us ?
That's a good point. Are you limiting yourself just to the USA? I just assumed that.

I've lived a considerable duration (3 years+) in 5 countries now, and so far I like Johannesburg the best. It's somewhere I could look to settle down. The environment and weather is always just perfect.
I really liked Singapore too.
Compared to Singapore, I can see the difference for sure, but then again Singapore City is one of the safest cities in the world.

What I got from this threadgo to sweden i suggest cause canada is just really boring, overall cooler since traveling to other countries afterwards in sweden is cheap as hell.
Moving to another country: Sweden, or Canada.
Domestic: Boston, Austin, Chicago, etc...
Of all the places I have lived:
Boston is the most fun
Colorado is the most beautiful and has the coolest people
I want to be somewhat close to a large city at the very least.

You say you don't like the south, but want tech. The main places to go outside of the South are SF (expensive as ****, pretentious, white people liberal) or Seattle, WA (expensive, gloomy, snobby, pretentious, white people liberal). I wouldn't recommend either. I lived in Seattle for years and it was awful.
Sine classify it as the South, others don't, but Austin, Texas is a great place for tech. It's cheap, has nice people, there's lots to do, and it has a growing tech sector. Utah also has a growing tech sector in SLC and Provo if you can get over being in Mormonville.
I'd avoid Oregon. Not a ton of tech jobs there abd I don't think that will change soon.

The first question is how do you plan on paying for these places that you plan to live. Some of them are not exactly cheap.
Now if I buy a place in Indianapolis, you can live in my spare room, if you can pay the extremely cheap rent. Although I no longer consider Indianapolis a nice place to live, after the traveling I've done in the past few years. Well some neighborhoods are nice, but it all depends on what you consider nice.

I will agree with this for the most part. I would say don't live downtown or on the east side. I live on the west side (Plainfield/Avon area) and its nice, imo. And there's also the political aspect, with the whole country looking at Pence and his RFRA bill, for example. But again, I'm sure there are plenty of better choices than here.
My version of "nice" is a compact, mostly safe, urban neighborhood with stores and restaurants in close proximitySo, basically any European city?

Scott Aaronson, an MIT professor, is moving to UT. I really enjoyed reading his blog post on why he is making the move.

If any GH members are looking to move to Austin for work, school, etc. please feel free to shoot me a PM. You may even be able to come visit and buy a Model M or try a Beamspring in person.

Scott Aaronson, an MIT professor, is moving to UT. I really enjoyed reading his blog post on why he is making the move.

If any GH members are looking to move to Austin for work, school, etc. please feel free to shoot me a PM. You may even be able to come visit and buy a Model M or try a Beamspring in person.
Spoilers: the summers are hot as balls and the traffic is awful.
I'm actually in the process of strongly considering Austin as my next location (among CO and CA). My sister and her family are also thinking of making the move.
I was about to post in here asking for advice from Austin GHers. Looks like you beat me to it! :P
I miss southern Missouri, too, but it's quite rural.
Much of Texas is 100 degrees + for 6 months out of the year with nights in the 90's and humidity in the 80's-90's. So, it's basically miserable to go outside for half the year. The Winters are great though. 60's in the day and 50's at night more often than not. If I had my choice, I'd take Austin over any other area of Texas (I'm closer to the coast.) If you have a degree or lots of experience there is plenty of opportunity here.Temp VERY much depends on the section of Texas you are in, it's a big place. San Antonio wasn't bad when I was there (January-Feb), but the panhandle is another story altogether, it got downright cold. With Texas, like California, you really need to research exactly where you want to go, both are very large and diverse.
Half of Texas is miserable swamp, and the other half is miserable desert.Wat about the middle of each half?

You couldn't pay me enough to live there.
It may be fine if you're a local and grew up there, but if you aren't from there, my experience has been that you're pretty much unwelcome in the Ozarks region. I've been all over a huge chunk of the U.S. and never have I encountered such hostility to outsiders. I know others who also had bad experiences there.
Paris is a nice place.
So is Zenica in Bosnia.
I'd recommend my own home city but that wouldn't exactly be unbiased :p .WHERE DAT
A customer of mine was down there with her BF's rock band, they walked into a bar and were kindly told to get the f out. When they asked why, the bartender said "look around, you clearly don't belong here and I don't want any trouble". Everyone was in overalls. They eventually managed one beer before they were forced to leave.I miss southern Missouri, too, but it's quite rural.

Hills and mountains are horrible, they make cycling much worse D: . There's no real nature to speak of in all of the Netherlands, either. It's not that great to visit, but it's very nice to live in.Utrecht.I'd recommend my own home city but that wouldn't exactly be unbiased :p .WHERE DAT
Air tree don't listen. i grew up in WA, Utrecht has the same **** weather and no mountains or real nature to make up for it. Plus no mexican food :(
