i was just going to start this thread, seems like ive heard alot of good about virginia beach, they were even ranked in the top 5 for best urban areas to live, I havent been there in a long time, I’ll have to check out charlotte too, Chicago is cool, a little older, but a clean city, a little chilly though. My choice (I live near st. louis) and NT when im home) would be, this area: Wheatfield (cheap) or close to elmwood/downtown. This area has everything i love, but the weather isnt the best and that makes the difference in quality of life. Other choices: Chandler AZ, Or West County, St. Louis, MO , omaha NE was pretty cool too, nice city just isolated.
