          California:
          Fremont - No, never been the same since MC Hammer moved away.
          Pleasanton - Yes, with a family
          Sunnyvale - No
          Mountain View - not bad...but i'd just move to Palo Alto
          San Francisco - Not sure I'll be able to move away

          Provo - I'd never choose to

          Geneva, Switzerland - In a heartbeat
          Anywhere in France - For a couple years at most

            Idaho Falls, ID- Probably not. I grew up there and loved it, but it's cold and not nearly as nice as I remember it. Most of my good memories are tied to people there, not the place.

            Rexburg, ID-never

            Italy (Rome and surrounding areas)-I love this place, but can't imagine establishing a permanent residence there.

            Provo, UT-nope

            College Station, TX
            - Absolutely

            Ft. Collins/Denver, CO-YES YES YES. If I got to choose a place to end up, the front range would be it.

            Birmingham, AL-Current location. I wasn't excited about moving here, but I was wrong. It's turned out to be a very nice place, but I don't see us ending up here over the long haul.

              I left out all my mission cities -
              Landshut, Bavaria, Germany - if I had a VERY fast car and worked on the north side of Munich, the commute wouldn't be too bad via autobahn, so maybe.

              Goeppingen, Baden-Wuerttemberg, Germany - Uhhh. No.

              Innsbruck, Tyrol, Austria - sure. Why not. Very touristy. Parts very pretty but parts very ugly. With all the Alps around, it wouldn't be a horrible place to call home. And my wife would be happy with skiing 365 days a year (glacier skiing - not the best, but still officially skiing)

              Neu Ulm, Bavaria, Germany - Meh. Not a horrible place. Not too expensive. But no real reason to want to live there either.

              Munich, Bavaria, Germany. In a heartbeat. But I'd need a good job.

              Esslingen, Baden-Wuerttemberg, Germany - My wife is from there. As of a couple months ago, she is the owner of half of a huge house that she'll eventually own 100% of. I could end up living there some day whether I want to or not. It's not a bad place - it actually has some redeeming qualities. I'd call it a 'yes' but Germany in general is nowhere near as attractive to me as it was a decade ago.

              Simbach, Bavaria, Germany - not in a million-billion years. It's an armpit. A tiny little armpit. 2 hours by slow-train from Munich -- and there only are slow trains. Hitler was born across the river in Braunau, Austria. That's about all the good that I can say about Simbach. Being there for the last three months of my mission felt like a prison. Alone, isolated, in a tiny little branch, with a douchebag companion. The only nice quality was that the train ride into Munich sucked so bad, the MP let us - encouraged us, actually (he knew my comp was a douchebag)- to come in the night before district meeting, stay overnight with the elders in the mission office, have district meeting and splits the next day, and then do P-Day with the mission office elders the next day. Spending 2 days a week in Munich made Simbach palatable. I dreaded the train-ride back...

                What's to explain? It's a bunch of people, most of whom you've never met, who are just as likely to be homicidal maniacs as they are to be normal everyday people, with whom you share the minutiae of your everyday life. It's totally normal, and everyone would understand.

                  IN geographical but not temporal order (and I am probably leaving something out)

                  Murray Utah- maybe

                  Midvale Utah - not if I could avoid it

                  South Jordan Utah- Sure

                  Salt Lake City Utah- sure, if I can pick the neighborhood

                  Provo, UT--I am not a bubble kind of guy

                  Boitfort Belgium-Yes, in a flash

                  Brussels Belgium--no, I would move to someplace nearby like Boitfort

                  Montreal, Quebec-only for the 12 days every year that constitute spring or fall, otherwise not a chance. This is true for the various other places I lived in Quebec during my mission; I wont list them all because I think you can grasp the point (except Ottawa, I might live there again)

                  Odessa Texas-- Are you kidding me? No.

                  Westchester CA--yes

                  Mar Vista CA-- nope

                  Venice CA-- only if I had the same apt. manager (Deena the habitual sunbather) except this time she would have to get the landlord to spray for roaches.

                  Marina Del Ray CA --yes

                  Silver Lake Ca-- not really

                  San Francisco CA -- absolutely

                  Alameda CA-- Yes

                  Albany/Berkeley CA-- prolly not unless I was in one of those big hillside homes looking down on all the peons while preaching wealth redistribution.

                  Mill Valley CA-- Yes

                        Uncommonly smart for a monkey. Odessa and environs are disgusting at best. See, also, El Paso.

                          I love it there, and not just because I was born there. Hoover is a great suburb.

                            Mountain Brook and Trussville are better.
