Where (in the United States) should I go?
I live in Portland (Oregon), but I would prefer to live in another city by early next year. I am not going to say that Portland is a terrible city, but I am a bit tired of the gray skies and rain from October to early June and the lack of restaurants/businesses open on Sundays and after 9 pm.
My requirements: more than 125,000 people; wide variety of restaurants and shopping centers; selection of things to do (other than bars) after 10 pm; affordable (no more than $800/month for a studio apartment); and accessible locations (not having to drive twenty miles to the nearest supermarket or restaurant).
I can handle snow, but I would prefer to live where it does not threaten to rain each day all through the fall and winter. I can tolerate warm weather, but I prefer dry heat instead of humidity.
I am not that interested in living in the South (except for perhaps Texas), and I cannot afford NYC or San Francisco. If I could, I would easily pick San Francisco.
Where should I go?
Well San Francisco is out is over a $1000.00 per month for a room alone.
I would go to Dallas, I have lived there it is fantastic! There’s plenty to do, lots of fantastic restaurants and its very affordable, much cheaper than Portland.
I have lived in a lot of places Dallas has been the best yet. Houston has excellent areas next to terrible ones (neighborhoods) Dallas is segregated by social-economic class (your neighbors homes cost in this area the same as yours, LESS CRIME)
