Its very nice there, but I reccomend heading a little further up to Cairns. Nicest place in Australia.

I would never live in manhattan as its just far too expensive there. Sure thats where all the stuff is at..plus public transportation takes you where you need to go fairly quickly.

Unless you make a minimum of $500/week at your job I dont see how you can live comfortably on your own in manhattan (on anywhere else in NYC for that matter) unless you live with a roommate or just live in a shitty hood.

Yeh, there are some areas like the Bronx where you could live for less, but I don't see many people wanting to relocate to NYC only to live in the Bronx or NJ or something less fashionable (and even then the areas are very touch and go). If I ever move back I'd probably move to Fort Lee, the town I grew up in. It's slightly expensive but not too bad and you're just 5-10m from Manhattan and it has a cool Asian sub-culture of it's own. I still love and miss NYC but I don't miss the cost of living at all, especially since MTL has the cheapest cost of living of any major city in NA.

Bitter cold in NYC? Maybe a few times a year. If you hate cold weather maybe anything slightly cool is annoying, but you so can't classify NYC as a cold/bitter place because there is some frost now and then. Its cold compared to Texas or Morocco or some place really warm, but in the general scheme of things it is so not "cold". Visit MTL or if you want to see what cold is like. ;)

I live in Staten Island--I want to live in Manhattan

Same here. There are a billion places I want to visit. Iceland was tops on my list before I went there. I had been obsessed with it for years and finally went in '99. It was so wonderful that it exceeded my lofty expectations. Spending time there I could very much picture myself living there one day. You'll love it. :)

I like where I live now: Long Island.
But, unfortunately, I know I'll have to get the hell out to avoid that Tidal Wave from the volcano that was posted a while back... :(

Lots of interesting places...funny to see so many exact opposites in ideal location.

As far as cold goes, move to the Dakotas or Minnesota...*that's* cold. I still remember getting locked out of my house once in South Dakota only wearing sweat pants and a T-shirt...70 degrees below 0 with the wind chill. :eek:

I've lived in seattle, wa, oakland, ca and am now living a bit outside boston, ma.

oakland was awesome because of the public transportation. rent was too high, sf was higher.

seattle when I lived downtown was pretty damn awesome, definately recommend it if you can get a good paying job instead of my 2 parttime ones. not bad rent for being near the heart of the city. better still if you live a bit out side it and bus to work. public transite is pretty crappy.

here, medford. public transite is horrible. buses blahhh. i pity tourists who dont knwo where thier trying to go. nice people, cool accents. rent is pretty high but it is just outside boston.

ideal: some where warm. dont care about humidity. where the rain is warm. that would rock.

What's the transit like out there? Inside Boston, the T is great. Really, really simple, as far as subway systems go.
