Is there anyplace that you love to visit but would just hate to live?

I am curious- are there places where people love to visit where they would love to move to (if they could afford the houses, get a job etc.)

Also, is thre anyplace (city/town) that you just love visiting but would hate to live?

I enjoy visiting small towns especially near beautiful places. I really don't want to live in small towns. I like the diversity, medical, cultural, & shopping of medium to large cities for my home.

I also like to visit overseas - Asia. Loved visiting but don't want to live there.

My guess is for most people who click on to a travel forum the answer is lots of places. They like seeing places, sometimes many times, but prefer living where they do.

I live in LA, and can't see living anywhere else, although I have been to so many cities, countries, and regions that I lost count.

Top list is as follows: Love visiting Hawaii, but too limited to live there. Love NY, but too hectic to live there. Love London, but weather sucks. Love lots of small towns and rural aread, but like living in a city.

I love the west coast (San Francisco, San Diego and Seattle), but being a federal employee, my quality of living is a lot better living here in the midwest.

I love visiting northern California and the Pacific Northwest (Seattle, Vancouver, Portland, etc.) but its too far from family. I also love New York City but its too expensive for me.

You're very quick, "x".
That was my point.
Sorry you didn't get it.

There are very few other places I would want to live....if I really wanted to live somepleace else, I'd be there.

Greg, I suspect you are keeping the secret of the good life here in Houston to yourself. My list looks a lot like yours and I live in Houston.

Boston, I love visiting but not sure I can endure the cold winter and raising kids in the city. I would like to try it for a while but not possible so I'll continue sweating in my south Florida humidity.

Vegas, Chicago, Utah, and Florida (though I don't like visiting Fla for any other reason except that my parents live there and I don't get to see them often).
