Which City Would You Live In?
Say you were offered a job that would allow you to live in one of the cities listed in the poll (job would be work at home with fairly frequent travel in the West; could live in the suburbs if you wanted), which would you choose and why?

Re: Which City Would You Live In?
Wow! 100 % Dallas! Of course I'm the only one to vote, and I'm already (pretty much) there. But NONE of the other choices had a chance!

If it were just me and no other considerations, Seattle. I've lived in Dallas and it'd be second. Colorado. AZ and NM are not appealing to me.

As long as Arlington is considered in the Greater Dallas SMSA!

I almost picked Boise, but went with Dallas... Lots of relatives in Dallas, none in Boise.
Re: Which City Would You Live In?
Denver. Boise.
Fort Worth would have won but it's not on the list.

Dallas of course.
Seattle would be a close second on that list.

Re: Which City Would You Live In?
The difference in the cost of living between Seattle and Dallas is staggering.....to say the least. 

Re: Which City Would You Live In?
I'll play.
Since I already live close enough to Dallas without having to actually live IN Dallas I'll pick a different place.
Boise, ID, with Albuquerque, NM a close second. Or visa versa. I also like the area around both places.

Re: Which City Would You Live In?
I didn't see the none of the above option so didn't vote. 

Re: Which City Would You Live In?
Lived in Seattle. Think Austin but bigger and wetter. No thanks.
Lived in Phoenix. Fun town, but too damn hot all the time. Too many college kids and California refugees. Pass.
Still loving it here!

Re: Which City Would You Live In?
Out of the choices I'd have to stick with Texas. Even if it is Dallas.

Re: Which City Would You Live In?
Picked Dallas, because it's close to where I already live, and "the devil you know is better than the one you don't". I'd likely love the natural opportunities of Seattle (I like the coastal areas), but would hate the politics, so that would be a no way. All of the others have no appeal to me, other than places to visit.
Re: Which City Would You Live In?
Being former military, I have been or lived all around the country (and the world) and came back to where I was born and raised, Garland. I might have picked any city in Montana if that was a choice. I have been to all the cities listed and are great to visit, but I wouldn't live in any of them. Just my 2 cents.
