If you could live anywhere in the US where would it be and why?

There's a 20' hedge between the houses. No problem.

Do you really have a view like that? 's'nice.

EDIT: Are you that blurry fog on the left, or the visible house on the right?

The pictures don't do the view justice. We are up (440') on an area behind Santa Barbara proper called "the Riviera" because it looks very much like the cliffs behind the beaches on the French Riviera. We have a 170 degree unobstructed view of the city, the harbor, the beaches and the Channel Islands. It's amazing, especially at night.

We are the blurry fog on the left. Santa Barbara is a beach town and we get fog. June and early July is the worst time and the weather then is referred to as "June Gloom". Usually it burns off fairly early but somedays the marine layer is so thick that it doesn't burn off at all. See, we do have weather.

Ok you well-traveled folk: which places have the highest percentage of eye candy? That's probably the most important thing to me.

I have a friend who spent a good deal of time in Phoenix. He said you could basically point a camera in any direction blind-folded and get a good shot. (I presume you mean nature.) I guess it depends what you like to look at.

Sorry, I meant honeys.

I already answered that: Texas. And yes, it does get hot in Texas. A girl I was fond of wrote me from there. Her impression: "it's hot".

Hmmm... lived 6 years in Houston myself and didn't think it was anything special. If I were to move back to TX permanently, it'd have to be Austin.

On topic: I honestly wouldn't want to move anywhere that's not near the ocean. Beaches are just too nice.

In the Santa Barbara area, either lunch outside on State Street (the main drag) or head into Isla Vista next to UCSB. Either will get you plenty of eye candy. Being in a nice climate, both have many restaurants with year-round outside seating.

Add beautiful women to the list and you're talking about my city. Not is the US though, and the language barrier might be problematic.

Was born on the west island, but unfortunately my anglophone family moved west the year before I would have started French immersion at school. When my current job/career runs out of steam I swear I will learn French and move back... every time I visit I am so sad to leave... the food, the women, the music, the vibe in general... fuck I am pining hard now, thanks...
