Hey /trv/, I am going on trip across the US and Canada to find a place I want to live.

Any suggestions?
I am looking for someplace chill environment with decent weather, good economy especially in science and engineering, an educated population, nice architecture and most importantly somewhere there is something to do....i am from Rhode Island and it is boring as fuck and I have to drive to MA just to go to Best Buy......

If you're young and adventurous, Portland is cheap and fun.

Bellingham, in Washington State would work nicely. It's even halfway between Seattle and Vancouver, BC

Too call out the inner section of America, there is Iowa
In b4 "lol potatos?" That is Idaho

Specifically what is called "The Corridor" which is Cedar Rapids thru Iowa City.
Weather is usually good (This June was just....really really bad for rain)
Economy is good, especially with science/engineering. Science you can work at any number of firms, factories, or the University of Iowa. Engineering - Rockwell Collins.
Educated populace? That's stretching it in some areas, other areas not.
Something to do? Stick with Iowa City, or if you enjoy minor league hockey, Cedar Rapids

Bellevue, Washington, about five minutes east of Seattle. Up and coming downtown area (looks like a mini-Dubai or mini-Tokyo-in-the-80s with all the cranes), next to the awesomeness that's in Seattle, and without most of the hippies and other assholes who inhabit Seattle. Easy access to just about any type of food imaginable, and people who are slightly elitist, because they know they're living in an awesome place.

Portland is like Seattle, but without the economic power. Meaning the hippie to yuppie ratio is awful. Too many drugged up assholes, a boarded up Chinatown, and an airport lacking in decent airlines for spotting. About the only good thing there is Voodoo Doughnut.

Ottawa is a very educated city, lots of high-tech work to be found there. Maybe less to do than Toronto, but definitely a lot more chill.

You might not like the weather for half the year but your summers are wonderful in Vancouver, BC. Close to Seattle and an international city. Ample pot culture if you're into that and outdoorsy stuff is everywhere all year round. We have plenty of Best Buys. Housing isn't exactly cheap though.

Vancouver seems best, IMO. Don't go/stay in the US, just don't.

i live in the southeast bay area in california
about half an hour north is a city called emeryville
its extremely chill, has lots of technology and architecture- pixar headquarters is located there. theres decent apartments all over the place and bay street is a nice place to shop

for all this great stuff, comes a price, but its not like living in the oakland hills

besides all of that, theres plenty of awesome shit going on all over the bay area everyday, so if you got lots of money and plan to have fun, the bay bridge is a straight-shot from emeryville to san francisco
